Happy official August! I hope you guys have been able to enjoy your summer as much as possible (not that it’s over just yet!!). I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super excited for Fall – I even enjoyed Christmas in July a little toooo much.
Realistically, it’ll be hot for a bit, so I’m still reaching for my summer wardrobe pieces. And this month’s roundup of our best sellers is definitely leaning summer, too. BUT a lot of these things can easily transition into the fall months (these Mother jeans, for example) so it’s still worth a peek.
The Best Sellers This Month: Summer Into Fall Outfit Inspo
Now that the Nordstrom sale just happened, we did have these boots popping up in our top sellers…and it made me giddy thinking of all the outfit possibilities. And – in case you’re wondering why there’s no NSale – I decided to skip those for now. You can check out our Best of What’s Left article, though if you’re curious what’s in stock and worth your time.
Shop This Month’s Best Sellers
1. Evereve Piper Tropical Shift Mini
Where To Buy: Evereve
Still not over this print. Honestly, could even work for fall with some tall boots and a little jacket.
Shana’s Note: A perfect dress for summer vacation: 100% cotton, in the coolest twist on a tropical print.
2. Margaux The Flat Sandal in Nappa
Where To Buy: Margaux
You know the deal. These are some of Shana’s most-worn tan sandals (for good reason).
Shana’s Note: ‘The Flat’ sandals from Margaux are the real deal: hand-made in Spain (using a high-quality Italian nappa leather), with a memory-foam footbed and really well-engineered straps that hold the sandals securely to my foot, making them really easy to walk in.
3. Lululemon Steady State SuperLoft Jogger
Where To Buy: Lululemon
WOW, I want to cozy up in this immediately. If the all-white scares you, there’s some really fun colors available.
4. Thigh Society The Cooling Anti-Chafe Slip Short Underwear
Where To Buy: Thigh Society
Wishing I knew about these sooner. A lifesaver in this heat.
Laura’s Note: Oh, and we mustn’t forget to mention Thigh Society Cooling Shorts as the only undies I like to pair with these (think super lightweight breathable bike shorts as undies if you haven’t heard about them before.) They are the BEST for dresses in summer, hands down.
5. adidas Adistar Control 5 Sneaker
Where To Buy: Nordstrom | Foot Locker
Love, love, love this color combo and techy look.
Kat’s Note: The cushioning is next level, they are wide-foot-approved, and the comfort level from morning to night is just unmatched. You are going to feel cool in these, and your feet will thank you too!
6. Evereve Bridget Crochet Varsity Tee
Where To Buy: Evereve
You know we love our varsity stripes around here, but throw some crochet in the mix?? LOVE.
Shana’s Note: The coolest (and easiest) tee upgrade: varsity stripes + crochet.
7. SARTO by Franco Sarto Finleah Knee High Boot
Where To Buy: Nordstrom | Franco Sarto
S tried these on with some of her NSale outfits (unfortch these didn’t end up in the sale). Between the color, the fabric, the slightly western, but not too western vibe…yup, great.
8. Cuyana Classic Easy Tote
Where To Buy: Cuyana
You can see how buttery soft this bag is just by looking at the pictures. Torn between basically all of the colors, but ‘Chili’ is speaking to me…
Shana’s Note: I didn’t think I was a tote girl…until Cuyana sent me one earlier this year. I’ve been using it every day since and love it with the passion of ten thousand suns.
9. Mother The Hustler Roller Sneak
Where To Buy: Mother | Other Washes: Bloomies | Saks | Shopbop | Anthro
You can see Scotti’s full review (and more shots of how ahmazing these look on her), here.
Scotti’s Note: The fit is just so, so good. If you have bigger hips or a booty and a smaller waist, you know how hard it is to find jeans that don’t gap in the back. These don’t. The 11-inch rise is perfect for cropped tops without showing skin, and the waistband hugs my waist without feeling tight. MOTHER absolutely nailed the fit.
10. Lucky Brand Battenburg Lace Embroidered Top
Where To Buy: Nordstrom | Lucky Brand
So many pretty little details. The lace peeking out of the bottom hem might be my fave detail of all.
Shana’s Note: There’s something about this top that gets it exactly right: 100% cotton, good lines (I love the black).
11. Farm Rio Denim Richelieu Midi Skirt
Where To Buy: Farm Rio | Bloomies | Dillard’s
Is Farm Rio ever not gorgeous? ‘Nuff said.
12. Naot Kayla Wedge Sandal
Where To Buy: Nordstrom | DSW | Dillard’s
These look so much better on an actual person (hi, Shana) than they do online. MUUUCH more chic.
Shana’s Note: These sandals are ridiculously comfortable. They have a molded footbed that reminds me of Birkenstocks (but softer!!), and a buttery-soft leather upper. They have a velcro closure (that doesn’t bother me) and an ever-so-slight wedge heel. They’re amazing for walking around town (and would be the best sandals for cobblestone streets) – they have much more of a comfort-shoe feel.
13. Faherty Laguna Linen Relaxed Shirt
Where To Buy: Faherty
This color combo is so good (selling fast, but there’s other great options, too).
14. The Pearl Sandbar Earrings
Where To Buy: TME Shop
The earrings we’ve described as, “Something you found on the ocean floor, but in the best possible way.” Besides the sheen of the pearls, I love the organic shape.
15. Warby Parker Brimmer Glasses
Where To Buy: Warby Parker
Can confirm that these look super cute on Shana. Immediately noticed them when she wore them recently.
Shana’s Note: I (finally!!) got a new eyeglass prescription, and walked out with these Warby Parker frames. They’re such a cool upgrade! FWIW Linz also tried them on and LOVED how they looked on her, too, if anyone else is looking for something new and fresh.
16. Maman L’a Dit Confetti Bonbon Necklace
Where To Buy: TME Shop
Like the older sister version of beaded necklaces that are everywhere right now, except these are made of real stone. So fun, and shockingly goes with a lot of different outfits.
17. Sam Edelman Ellina Ankle Strap Sandal
Where To Buy: Nordstrom | Macy’s | Bloomingdale’s
I’ll never say no to some strappy sandals (unless they’re uncomfortable – but these are not!).
Shana’s Note: Gang, I’ve been wearing these sandals all over Philly and they’re great. The straps are thin, but leather is soft and the straps perfectly placed so they’re comfortable, even when walking. There’s no digging in – they’re supportive and keep my foot in place without pulling across my foot or squeezing. And the padded footbed is decently padded, especially for such a minimalist shoe.
18. Maman L’a Dit Oh My Pearls Necklace
Where To Buy: TME Shop
The team’s irreverent take on pearls. The red leather cord really just does it for me.
19. Lululemon Groove Low-Rise Relaxed Cinch Pant
Where To Buy: Lululemon
Shana tried out a bunch of different lightweight workout pants (you can see ’em all, here), and these were her top pick.
Shana’s Note: These are made from the same soft fabric as the pair above, but with a drawcord at the bottom so they can be worn as joggers OR as straight-leg pants. That little detail means that they’re a better all-around pant because you won’t have to worry about the wider legs flapping as you’re doing plyo.
20. Ursa Major Forest Fix Spray Deodorant
Where To Buy: Ursa Major
Unlike Shana, I’ve always loved a spray deodorant…but then I got a little weirded out by the chemicals, so I’m immediately headed to try this out.
Shana’s Note: Hands-down, the best deodorant I’ve ever tried. They sent me one to try, and I ignored it because…spray deodorant? HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. But it was the morning of the NSale (so, 5:45AM), everyone is waiting for me downstairs, and I hadn’t yet unpacked from our trip to see my sister so I just grabbed it and sprayed it on. I made a face (spray! so weird!) and proceeded to spend the next 20 hours running around like a crazy person, trying on wool sweaters and winter coats in a sunny bedroom with weak A/C in 90+ degree temps, and generally sweating my ass off. HOWEVER: I smelled so fresh!! The whole time!! I even (secretly, with no one watching) smelled under my arms (god, that’s even embarrassing to type) and there was just…nothing. No bad smell. Just a fresh, clean scent. The spray smells a bit like a high-end bug spray, but it works, works, works, works. I am a HUGE fan.
See ya next month with more top sellers!
