I'm a Shopping Specialist—Here's What to Add to Your Wardrobe in August

Is it just me, or is summer going by incredibly fast? I finally had my first weekend basking in a bikini last week, but at the office, I’m already talking about all things fall—from the must-have trends to try to pretty fall outfit ideas. I know it’s August, friends, which means we’re in that exhilarating month where it’s still absolutely gorgeous outside—perfect for wearing our strappy sandals and lightweight dresses. However, I’m also looking forward to an exciting fashion season just around the corner.
So what sartorial goodies should everyone be adding to their carts this month? As market editor and shopping specialist, it’s my job to bring you the newest, most desirable, bound-to-sell-out items on the internet, and this month does not disappoint. From pretty floral frocks for your last-minute summer getaway to trending square-toe shoes to take you into fall, below I’m sharing the coolest finds.
