These Under-$100 Midsummer Finds Are Occupying My Fashion-Editor Brain
Hide your wallet (or don't!).
Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
As you know, the fashion cycle moves fast. Even I was shocked to see my peers working on fall fashion stories already (we're only in July!). Regardless, I'm soaking up all the summer sun I can get, and my shopping list reflects that. With this temperate Southern California weather, I have a feeling the heat will creep into the early fall months, which means pieces like capris, breezy skirts, and tank tops will get a few more months of wear.
Thankfully, my favorite retailers seem to be getting the memo, releasing everything from cool new swimwear to tops to sneakers (hi, adidas!). For accessories, Dorsey's new Paracord II collection and Heaven Mayhem's sophisticated beaded jewelry have seriously caught my attention. In short: If colorful statement pieces, It-Girl bags, fun sneakers, and elevated basics are your jam—and you prefer to stay within an under-$100 budget—you're in the right place. Scroll on to shop just that.

It's pendant season.
White, flowy skirts all summer long.
This suede east-west bag comes in so many classic shades, but I love the banana color for late-summer and early-fall dressing.

The tomato red shade is stunning.
