My role as a digital fashion editor means I'm constantly surfing the web for cool shopping picks to recommend. It also means I look at thousands of items to determine what's worth buying and recommending in any given week. But I won't lie—sometimes it feels like I've seen it all. When you're scrolling through new arrivals at the rate I am, an item has to have something extra special to grab your attention. And the trendy buys you're about to see here have exactly that.
They're cute, trendy, and rather budget-friendly, if I do say so myself. The 45 finds ahead are what I'd consider the best shopping for under $100. Yeah, I said it. Whether it's the $15 cuff bracelet you'll want to wear with every outfit or the emerging pant trend worth ditching your jeans for, these buys are exciting and affordable. While it doesn't make sense, I'm not questioning it. I'm simply adding them to my cart.
