"I adore the wicker detailing and size of this Wicker Wings Mini Kuài Bag ($195, originally $389). If Summer was a handbag, I think this would be it. What's not to love about that?!" — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion & Shop
"This ASTR the Label Lace Midi Dress ($67, originally $89) comes in nine different colors; I am buying both the classic black and the emerald for all of those Spring and Summer weddings I am attending." — Lauren Hendrickson, Head of Shop
"Summer dresses can often feel a little too bare or breezy for the office. I love that this Nicholas Smocked Apron Dress ($349, originally $498) straddles the line between work and weekend, thanks to a midi hemline and a polished silhouette." — HWM
"I've been in the market for new jeans lately, and these R13 The Stove Pipe Jeans ($237, originally $395) are about as classic as it gets. I want to wear them all Summer long, because I'm always cold at night." — India Yaffe, editorial assistant, Shop
"I truly believe there's no such thing as having too many Reformation dresses, and this Reformation Locklin Dress ($119, originally $198) is going to be my next investment. The pretty floral print is the perfect addition to my Summer closet. It also comes in a fun red print, too." — KJ

"It isn't always warm enough in San Francisco to wear sandals in the Summer, so mules are always my go-to for work shoes. These Vince Ralston Pointy Toe Mules ($195, originally $325) will look great throughout Summer and into Fall." - LH
"I can't refuse a good deal, especially when it comes to designer bags, and I know a bag like this Chloé Mini Faye Day Leather Satchel ($1,132, originally $1,690) doesn't go on discount often. It's going to be the one piece I treat myself to this season, and hey, it's on sale right, so, why not?" — KJ
"I love bringing a hat along for those hot Summer vacations but hate having to wear them on the flight. This Rag & Bone Packable Straw Fedora ($135, originally $225) is perfect to throw into my bag and not worry about it being destroyed. I love the neutral olive color, but it comes in the more traditional natural color and even pink." — LH
"If I could imagine the perfect Summer wedding guest dress, it would look just like this romantic Lenon Ruffle Tiered High/Low Midi Dress ($119, originally $198)." — IY
