I Swung By the Madewell Store in Williamsburg—26 Chic Things I Could've Bought on the Spot

This all started because I’m a longtime fan of Lisa Says Gah—I love its quirky good vibes and its cool e-commerce models, and I really love the sardine earrings I purchased last summer (which quickly rose through the ranks to reside among my all-time most-complimented accessories). When I saw that Lisa Says Gah released a collaboration with Madewell, the very next walk I took my dog on just so happened to veer in the direction of its store.
Turns out Madewell is really on one right now, and the collaboration is just the beginning. The new-arrivals section is overflowing with items designed to slip seamlessly into my wardrobe, from breezy summer office outfits to polished vacation looks. I’m talking really great woven leather bags, key linen pieces, on-trend minimalist sandals, and the kind of easy tops you’ll wear on repeat. Here are my top Madewell picks that you can shop now.
If you're tapped out on raffia, add this knotted leather crossbody to your summer bag rotation (like Linh Niller Skvortsova, above).
My number one Madewell pick right now is this flawless leather tote, an absolute steal for under $200.
These shorts, with the four above products, on repeat.
This also comes in black, but the tangerine is what's important.
A dress that will save you when you don't know what to wear.
If you like to be on-trend but not painfully trendy, suede and chocolate brown are your friends.
