Nothing excites me more than losing myself while pursuing the latest offerings from my favorite online stores. You should see the amount of open tabs at a given time on my browser. Sure, it’s all incredibly tempting and leads to a bunch of full virtual carts, but it helps me narrow down the pieces that speak to me most every season. Thankfully, I am not one to gatekeep, so get ready to reap the benefits of my latest shopping deep dive.
My aim when browsing is to find a mixed selection of elevated basics that can be worn on rotation along with an injection of standout trendy pieces. This time around, I took a look at Zara, Nordstrom, Mango, H&M, Shopbop, and Net-a-Porter. Right off the bat, this helps gather a variety of pieces at different price points which comes in handy when working within a budget. I came across some incredibly cool pieces like classing matching sets, bold dresses, practical pants, sleek shoes, and much more. Ahead, shop my top five picks from each store.
