Laura Lombardi Gold Fiorella Charm Ring, $120 $56, available here: “Don’t sleep on the jewelry in the Ssense sale. Also don’t sleep on the soothing delight of a ring that gives you something to fidget with whenever you’re anxious, overstimulated or bored.” —Dhani Mau, Editor-in-Chief

Aje Moonglade Bias Maxi Skirt, $425, available here (sizes 4-16): “As I recently wrote, I’ve become utterly obsessed with shopping for white, ivory and cream-colored garments lately — and this elegant bias-cut silk maxi skirt is one of my favorite finds. It’s currently at the top of my list of potential rehearsal dinner outfits for my wedding in November.” —Stephanie Saltzman, Beauty Director

Eledera Rotonda Ballerina, $210, available here: “I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect ballet flats for a few months now, and these Eledera ones are in contention for the top prize. (Full disclosure: These were gifted by the brand.)

Bcbgmaxazria Oly Tiered Ruffle Tulle Evening Gown, $498 $349, available here (sizes 0-16): “I tried this dress on recently and fell for everything about it: the corseted upper, the whimsical tulle… Plus, I saw someone try it on in blue, and everything about it reminded me of Cinderella. Whether a romantic evening out or a summer wedding, this thing is occasion-ready.” —Andrea Bossi, Staff Writer

Steve Madden Lasso Bone Leather Cowboy Boot, $190, available here: “I love a traditional cowboy boot, but sometimes you need to jazz things up with a high heel.

Memento Mori Designs NYC Celestial Snake Necklace, $45, available here: “I’ve had heart eyes since I first got my hands on this beauty.

BlackFish Rhinestone Wall-Mounted Rhinestone Hooks, $24, available here: “I bought these glittery hooks to display my purses as the art they are, and now that’s my favorite little corner of my apartment. The only problem is that there are a couple empty hooks…” —LS

Rebecca Vallance Manon Blazer, $749, available here (sizes 0-12): “This piece from Rebecca Vallance’s new Essentials edit — a range of timeless, neutral wardrobe staples — is the blazer of my dreams. I love that it’s single-breasted, and the fit is excellent. There’s also a great pair of matching trousers in case you’re after a fully suited ‘quiet luxury’ moment.” —DM

Saint Laurent Manhattan Raffia Shoulder Bag, $2,990, available here: “Since it’s summer, that means it’s raffia season. This classic Saint Laurent bag is re-imagined for the warmer months and accented with brown leather and gold hardware. Plus, there are no glaring ‘YSL’ logos to be found on this one.” —AB

Christopher John Rogers Striped Colorblock Sweater, $795 $477, available here (sizes XS-XL): “I know the warmer months are here and this is a sweater, but hear me out: This geniously colored top is lightweight enough to wear on summer nights and keep in the rotation for the fall. Style it with denim shorts or khakis — it’s a statement piece that’ll look fabulous with anything neutral.” —AB

Apede Mod Raspberry Croc Yuan Bao, $340, available here: “I’ve been carrying around a lot of black and white purses of late, so this vibrant pink style makes for the perfect transition into bolder colors his summer. What I love the most about it, though, is how versatile is: I’ve predominantly carried it around as a shoulder bag, but it can easily be converted into a clutch or underarm piece — and has plenty of space for my phone, wallet and beauty essentials.” —JS

Melissa Becky Punk Love + Jean Paul Gaultier in Violet/Clear Lilac, $199, available here: “Melissa and Jean Paul Gaultier first collabed 40 years ago, and this 2023 version is just too cute. Typically I’d go for the black option, but this purple is just too pretty.” —LS

Eliza Faulker All That Ties Dress, $601 $453, available here (sizes XS-XXL): “This dress is a classic and timeless silhouette but made all the more fun with its attached ribbons. I love that you can tie the strings in any which way and completely customize the look.” —BF

Hill House Home The Charlie Dress, $150, available here (sizes XXS-XXL): “I’ve been a proud member of #NapDressNation for many years now, but I recently expanded beyond the canon Nap Dress silhouettes (courtesy of the brand) with the Charlie, a retro structured shift dress in a stunning hydrangea print by Leïla Dubus that feels very American-Girl-goes-to-Palm-Beach.” —AC

Coachtopia Ergo Shoulder Bag, $275, available here: “This bag has been quite controversial to those around me. The print is definitely a bit silly-looking, but personally, I find the mushrooms very cute and just the right amount of psychedelic.” —BF

Harper Wilde Cloud Cotton Scoop Bralette in Black, $40, available here (Size XS-4XL): “This is easily the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. I love the band at the bottom, the lack of wires and how you cannot feel the hooks in the back. The buttery soft fabric is the real clincher, though.” —LS

Anine Bing Tyler Sweatshirt in Artichoke, $200, available here (sizes XXS-XL): “Whether for pairing with bike shorts and sneakers, Lady Di-style, or simply toting around as an extra layer for overly air-conditioned spaces, a perfectly worn-in oversized sweatshirt is a summer wardrobe staple for me. This one is currently at the top of my shopping list.” —SS

Year of Ours Ribbed Bralette Tank, $75, available here (sizes XS- 2X): “Athleisure seems to be giving rise to the return of shelf-bra tanks, and I’m very much here for it.

Khaite Jo Sweater Cashmere Featherweight-Knit Sweater, $780 $468, available here (sizes XXS-XL): “I was recently blessed by the thrifting gods and found Khaite’s classic Jo sweater in phenomenal condition secondhand — for less than $100! — and, I must admit… I’m obsessed. It’s light and incredibly soft, but still has a nice structure and fit to it.” —AC

Novella Momotaro, $385, available here: “This summer, I’m putting aside the sandals and opting for a comfortable sneaker. I find this suede pair from Novella ultra-cozy — not feeling so much as a hint of aching after walking a couple of miles. It makes for the perfect summer travel essential, not to mention I’m obsessed with the multicolored design.” —JS

Mugler x H&M Mesh-paneled Corset Top, $129, available here (XXS-XXL): “I lucked out finding this corset in my size. Even though it’s from the H&M collection, the quality is surprisingly pretty solid, and I feel super supported when I’m wearing this. I love layering it over a T-shirt or a mesh top for some added details.” —BF

Silver and Riley Milan Crossbody Leather Bag in Scarlet, $545, available here: “I fell in love with this bag, which was gifted to me by the brand, as soon as I took it out of its packaging. The leather feels sturdy yet soft, and it’s large enough to fit a journal and everything else I need to carry for a day. But it doesn’t look too big, and the asymmetric flap gives it a flair.” —AB

Maguire Prato Bubblegum Ballerina Ballet Flat, $195, available here: “You’d think a pair of ballet flats in a shade of ballerina pink might be a little too on the nose, but the square toe and little loopy cut-out detail takes away any prissiness and counters any overly dance-y vibes.” —SS

Junya Watanabe MAN x Basquiat Graphic-Print Cotton T-Shirt, $542, available here (sizes S-L): “Everything about this shirt screams my name. I love how the Basquiat print flexes the artist’s thought-provoking art and signature crown motifs. It has endless style combinations, like pairing it with jeans and sneakers or a skirt and heels.” —AB
