Late Summer Under $200 Edit
We are back with our biweekly edit of under-$200 favorites. There are so many great pieces in this week’s installment; I hope you enjoy! I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! Both Carly and I spend quite a bit of time tracking down pieces at this price point that feel well-made, special, and fun. I aim to share a roundup like this every two weeks (the last installment is right here) as there are so many great items out there that won’t break the bank. Right now, a few personal favorites are:
Styling Last Week’s Best-Sellers, Vol. 16
Every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling this super cute Madewell day dress, this geometric mini from Tuckernuck, and my beloved green mesh tote — also from Tuckernuck!
Weekend Reading 8.8.26
The best thrillers of the 21st century, new books out this month. Perfectly portioned dinner recipes for one. A recipe for dirty martini-marinated mozzarella balls. The best Caesar salad recipes from famous chefs. The history of Le Sirenuse. The color combinations that will be trending this year. Do your underarms need a special skincare routine? (lol no) Serotonin shoes! So many home tours and recipe ideas. How weird can Gen Z’s party themes get? And loads more: enjoy the list!
Carly’s Cut, Vol. 12
I’ve never loved summer quite the way I have this year, and I’ve slowly come to realize that so much of it comes down to perspective. Summer in Charleston can be a very particular kind of unbearable. The air is heavy, the thunderstorms are inconvenient, and the humidity can make even the simplest plans feel like an undertaking. But the days are long, the evenings are forgiving, and there is something wonderfully liberating about a season that encourages you to simply go have fun.
The Wednesday Ten, No. 17
Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.
Styling Last Week’s Best-Sellers, Vol. 15
Every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling this incredible fringe shirt from Farm Rio, this Pucci-coded mini skirt, and this adorable gingham sundress from Tuckernuck.
