Happy official July! I hope you guys have been enjoying summer so far (although, the heat in Philly today was actually ridiculous, so consider me ready for winter).
While I dream about colder days, the positive part I can give: cute summer outfits. I’m not sure why – maybe it’s just my style evolving – but I feel like we’ve been in a really exciting era of fashion, and the top sellers this month definitely proved that. We’ll always love our basics (I’ll forever wear an all-black outfit), but a lot of us have been adding more color and print into our wardrobes that I could see us never getting sick of. Example A: colorful stripes.
The Best Sellers This Month: Summer Closet Staples
As usual, we’ve got a good mix of closet staples – this Jenni Kayne dress that’s 70% off, the Croc Miami sandals that have our entire team hooked, and the perfectly slouchy gray shorts I could see myself living in for the rest of these hot days. And, I see everyone is still on the Freda Salvador train…we’re right there with you. Okay, onto the rest!
Shop This Month’s Best Sellers
1. Evereve Shelly Snap Front Tank
Where To Buy: Evereve
Love little tops like these. Can easily dress ’em up or down.
Shana’s Note: There’s something so French-girl cool about this simple top. I’ll bet it makes denim cut-offs feel fresh again (and is bra-friendly, too).
2. Fleur du Mal Silk Cowl Slip Dress
Where To Buy: Fleur du Mal
I think a good silky dress should be in everyone’s wardrobe. They’re a timeless staple, and always look good. This one comes in other colors, too.
Shana’s Note: If you need a really sexy dress…literally nothing beats this Fleur du Mal. And we have a code – you can take 15% off your purchase with code TheMomEdit15.
3. Farm Rio Denim Flower Cut-Out Dress
Where To Buy: Farm Rio
I mean…..this speaks for itself. How stunning?
Shana’s Note: The most epic denim dress I have EVER SEEN: foliage included.
4. Faherty Short-Sleeve Breeze Shirt
Where To Buy: Faherty
MikeD’s party shirt! Comes in a bunch of prints.
Shana’s Note: The easiest gifts for Father’s Day? Faherty. They’ve basically cornered the market on what cool, old guys want to wear. As proof I offer up Mike D’s favorite polo shirt, Mike D’s favorite party shirt, and Mike D’s favorite swim trunks.
5. Frēda Salvador Laurel Fishnet Mary Jane
Where To Buy: Frēda Salvador
Aaaand, they’re back. I never get sick of seeing them, and they’re a perfect example of this “fun era of fashion” I mentioned earlier. They somehow make every outfit look intentional without trying too hard. If you’re curious for Shana’s full take, here’s her article.
Shana’s Note: I’ve owned Freda Salvador’s Laurel flats in ‘black net’ for a year now, and they are one of the best purchases I have EVER made. I wear these flats walking all over the city (and I’ve even worn them in the rain). I can literally walk miles in these flats! The profile is that of a designer ballet flat, but there’s juuuust enough cushioning to make them more comfortable (without looking like a ‘comfort shoe’). It took me one day to break these flats in and I haven’t stopped wearing them since.
6. Jenni Kayne Rove Dress
Where To Buy: Jenni Kayne
This is the kinda dress that’ll never get old. Easy, classic, but still feels put-together (and pockets are now a non-negotiable for my dresses). Currently 70% off so now’s the time to scoop.
Shana’s Note: Jenni Kayne is having a warehouse sale. I can personally recommend these cool sandals (they get softer and softer over time) and the Rove dress in ‘dark moss’ or ‘ivory’. While the website lists the fabric as viscose, I’m pretty sure those two colors are both raw silk (the other colors are viscose – I didn’t love them). I did a full review of the Rove dress here, if interested.
7. Frēda Salvador Fisherman Sandals
Where To Buy: Frēda Salvador
The other Frēda’s everyone’s been loving. The studs just get me.
Laura’s Note: These are just SO so good. They’re soft, they’re versatile, they’d be comfy for all day wear, they look chic but also totally cool…it was really hard for me not to keep these in my possession. But the price point is out of my range right now. But I am literally wondering if I should just do it anyway. I keep thinking about them.
8. Gap Poplin Easy Barrel Pants
Where To Buy: Gap
Gap makes some of my personal favorite lightweight pants (I’m actually wearing one of their linen pairs as I’m writing this). Love, love the chocolate brown and shape of these.
Shana’s Note: These poplin pants are a perfect example of how the good stuff goes so fast at Gap. They’re annoyingly fantastic, so if they have your size left – in any color!! – I recommend snapping them up.
9. Barbour Kinsale Tartan Cape Coat
Where To Buy: Shopbop | Nordstrom
I’ve wanted this jacket from the moment I saw it. It’s selling fast, but still available in some sizes.
Shana’s Note: This is one of my most favorite jackets ever. Fully tested in a downpour at Penn Relays track meet (haha but seriously), it’s comfortable, incredibly functional, and seriously chic. I can’t recommend this one enough.
10. Crocs Miami Ankle Strap Sandal
The sandals we all keep talking about (for good reason). I’m tempted to get them in black.
Shana’s Note: These Croc sandals are bananas good. They’re almost impossibly lightweight, yet fit securely on the foot. I almost feel like I could bounce along the pavement as I walk. They feel a bit like wearing Tevas, but are more comfortable (yet I wouldn’t rely on them to stay put while crossing a river, haha).
11. Nach Bijoux Tiger Lily Earrings
Where To Buy: Our TME Shop!
These are the kinda earrings that just POP when you wear them, as perfectly demonstrated on Kat. And, if you wanna shop small this July 4th, you can take $10 off every $100 spent in Our Shop, now through 7/5! Discount applies automatically at checkout.
12. Sam Edelman Ellina Sandal
Where To Buy: Nordstrom | Macy’s | Bloomingdale’s
Music to my ears when I hear the leather is soft on sandals like these. At first glance I thought maybe they would get uncomfortable throughout the day, but Shana’s city-walking self approves!
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.
13. Ritual Sleep BioSeries Melatonin
Where To Buy: Ritual
For my fellow can’t-ever-fall-asleep-at-night’ers. I simply need to give this a try.
14. Maman L’a Dit Summerchime Necklace
Where To Buy: Our TME Shop!
I was sooo excited when I saw this necklace drop in our shop. The imperfect organic shape of the red charm and the mix of colors and materials immediately grabbed my attention.
15. Faherty Short-Sleeve Movement Polo Shirt
Where To Buy: Faherty
And, we give you MikeD’s fave polo. Also comes in other colors + prints.
Shana’s Note: The easiest gifts for Father’s Day? Faherty. They’ve basically cornered the market on what cool, old guys want to wear. As proof I offer up Mike D’s favorite polo shirt, Mike D’s favorite party shirt, and Mike D’s favorite swim trunks.
16. Margaux The Flat Sandal
Where To Buy: Margaux
Other than the Frēda Salvador sandals, these Margaux sandals keep popping up in the top sellers. They’re the sort of summer shoe that never goes out of style, and you’re always happy you packed on the trip.
Shana’s Note: At first, these sandals feel more minimalist than comfort shoe. And yet, I can walk all over Philly wearing them (reviewers have also remarked that they’re surprised by how long they can walk in these!). The Italian nappa leather is high-quality, and the stitched details are amazing. Ultimately, these are a really pretty pair of sandals, and, since they come in 3 widths, it’s easy to get a good fit.
17. Naot Kayla Wedge Sandal
Where To Buy: Nordstrom | DSW | Dillard’s
Molded footbed and buttery-soft leather? I’m in.
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.
18. Perfect White Tee Terry Sweat Short
Where To Buy: Perfect White Tee
I’ve tried a lot of soft shorts. I’ve bought a lot of soft shorts. But, for some reason they never quite fit me right. The slouchiness of these might just make them the one (I have high hopes).
Shana’s Note: Unshowered, Work-From-Home, Gremlin-Mode Outfit inspo: PerfectWhiteTee’s old-school sweat-shorts in dark heather gray (they sent them 2 weeks ago, have only taken them off for grad parties) + this seriously cute & cheery graphic tee (runs big – I have the small and it’s perfectly oversized).
19. Gap 100% Cotton Stripe Halter Sweater Tank
Where To Buy: Gap (matching skirt, here)
Yes, yes, yes. So fun, but still the sort of thing I could see myself reaching for often.
Shana’s Note: Gap that looks like Staud??? Yesssssss.
20. Buck Mason Pima Classic Tee
Where To Buy: Buck Mason
Another one for the guys! Love the color of this tee.
Shana’s Note: If it helps, Mike D’s favorite workout shorts are these (actually, they’re the boys’ favorites, too), and the best basic tees (again, according to all three guys here, ages 15, 18 and 52 haha) are Buck Mason t-shirts, and all three also love these wide-leg sweatpants (we own, like, 7 pairs they just steal from each other).
See ya next month with more top sellers!
