"The best part about this flouncy white Summer top from Genuine People ($78)? You can wear its accordion sleeves two ways: scrunched as a tank or extended to form a cap sleeve." — Sarah Wasilak, assistant editor, Fashion
"The women behind new jewelry line Aurate are making beautiful pieces, like these flower earrings ($150), with a fresh, direct-to-consumer model and an emphasis on giving back. It's the ultimate way to treat yourself to something special." — Hannah Weil McKinley, senior editor, Fashion
"I love pulling on a Summer dress and knowing my look is complete, but lately I've been into dresses with ruffled hems, like H&M's Long Flounced Dress ($60). It just adds something extra — without adding anything at all!" — Samantha Sutton, assistant editor, Fashion
"Fashion's latest sneaker obsession might be my favorite yet, and I'm planning to celebrate the return of the Gazelle ($110) by adding them to sundresses, cutoffs, and everything in between all month long." — HWM
"Mansur Gavriel is churning out its circle bags in textured styles, and this cream boucle option ($1,350) just screams Summer. I can picture wearing it with both floaty maxi dresses and casual little rompers alike." — SW
"When it's too hot out and there's hardly any hope for looking like you put any thought into your outfit, I'm reaching for this Reformation Dianna two-piece ($248). It goes from errands to the beach to dinner out with the switch of shoes and accessories. Plus, each piece is also pretty great on its own." — HWM
"The perfect Summer bikini looks like this Solid & Striped triangle suit ($175) — simply cut with an eye-catching color." — HWM
"On the weekend, I enjoy wearing hats, which give my outfits a casual, laid-back vibe. This August Hat Nylon Baseball Cap ($28) is sleek and versatile and will also solve bad-hair-day dilemmas." — SS
"I have a few weddings on the calendar, and I'm always one to make a bold, happy statement at a party. This Self-Portrait maxi ($465), complete with pleats, frills, and a floral pattern, is on-trend and just the right shade." — SW
"You can't hit the beach without a bag that can hold all of your stuff — plus, with a bright, funky design like this one from Kayu ($115), you can carry it just about anywhere and keep the Summer vibes with you, even when you're stuck in the city." — HWM
"Easy to slip on, sparkly, and a height boost? Why aren't these Miu Miu Glitter Platform Espadrilles ($475) already on my feet?!" — SS
"You've probably seen Roxanne Assoulin's chiclet-like chokers ($120) all over Instagram. That's where my obsession began too. While there are plenty of different colors to choose from, I think it'd be coolest to combine black and white like so, then wear the baubles with everything." — SW
"Oh, the new Valentino Lovelatch Ballerina ($795), how I need thee. There's no denying I will wear these versatile flats with my entire wardrobe. What's more, I love how the feminine silhouette is met with edgy, grommet-finished straps. That totally speaks to my signature style." — SW
"I'm not just a fan of Taylor Swift's music and newest boyfriend (Tom Hiddleston just seems so sweet!), I also dig her style. Recently she's been carrying Rebecca Minkoff's Mara Saddle Bag ($295), which isn't just cute and practical, but also well within my budget. Sold!" — SS
"Power women may love drop earrings, but personally, I'm a hoop girl. I love the embellishments on these Anthropologie Rockery Hoops ($58), which give this classic accessory a fancy, statement-making twist." — SS
