Top Off Summer With These Under $150 Tops

{ Via: Anthropologie }

It's that time of year when it is hard to know what to shop for. It's so hot, fall clothing just isn't appealing. But I am always on the lookout for a good top, aren't you? Here's a roundup of chic but casual styles that will top off your summer wardrobe.

Cotton Poplin PopOver

Easy breezy. Just pop it on over all of your white bottoms. Best yet, it is on sale now.

J.Crew

Oversized Linen Shirt

BR does linen so well at reasonable price points. This shirt comes in 4 colors, but I loved the bold bronze here.

Banana Republic

Kobi Halperin Bell Sleeve Top
You can't have too many white tees. This one takes a basic tee to the next level with the sleeves. This style has been marked down from $148 to $59.

Bergdorf Goodman

Totes Tee
If you are into cute sayings, this one is fun.  And at  $10, buy one for every southern girl you know.

Draper James

Dolan Lace Sleeve Sweatshirt

Certainly not your basic sweat! It's feminine and fun in cotton.

Anthropologie

Prim Broderie Top

How pretty! And it is just as lovely worn untucked as it is above. The price is great for such detail. It is marked down by 60%

AllSaints

Seville Shirt

Here's a fresh take on gingham. What a fun piece to wear. Those sleeves are so Copacabana.

Tuckernuck

Sunrise Ombre Top

Colorful and chic, this top adds the perfect pop to any bottom.

Boston Proper

Harley Tunic

Dress this style up or down.  It's silky with a length that covers all.

Free People

OUI Tee

Say yes to Clare V's adorable top.

Heat Wave: 13 Products That Beat The Heat

Saturdays At Shop This

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but it is so hot, that you would need shoes on in the sand today. It just might be a good weekend to seek shade and shop. Here are some fun links to get your weekend started.

I recently have joined Scentbird. If you haven't heard of it, it is a luxury fragrance subscription service that sends you a 30-day supply of a designer fragrance of your choice for $16.95/month. Or even less if you catch a sale. So far I am loving the service.  Check it out. It would make a lovely gift as well for a man or woman.

Neiman's is having their Summer Last Call Sale (one of my favorites of the season.)  I haven't done a thorough shop yet but I did find my very favorite CBD Lotion by Lord Jones. It works and smells fresh like grapefruit! If you have been wanting to try CBD Oil, I would trust this brand. Neiman's must be dropping the product. I use it on my ankles and little aches and pains. Love it!

 

Keeping cool and looking presentable while hosting weekend guests, isn't the easiest. I found that the loungewear at Lunya is beyond compare. I love my wide leg cozy cotton silk pants. They also offer washable silk. It's just all so good. These pants come in 11 colors. You will also love the organic. silk and cotton PJS, robes and menswear.

Cuddle Up: Found these Barefoot Dreams Throw Blankets on sale for a very limited time at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. They are so soft and cozy, more than one may be in order.

Good Things: I always love reading about Martha Stewart's favorite products. She adds a new list every week. I was surprised to see that this week's list included Heirloom Garlic, Sketchers and Soft Scrub! 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Loving a "Mini" sale at Ulta. Buy one mini or travel size product and get one free. A few of the brands offered are  Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, Tarte and It Cosmetics, Clinique and more. These travel sizes are great for your handbag, too.

Bag Lady: I am not much of one, unless it is a bag designed by Olympia Le-Tan. Her styles are whimsical, unique, and simply fabulous. They are also a wee bit expensive. But they make for great window shopping at Moda Operandi's Trunkshow.

My favorite athleisure piece of all time is now on sale at Neiman's (finally did some looking around.) The Varley Vine Sweatshirt is really more of a cotton sweater. That collar is everything. Thanks, Sharon, for your good taste and kindness!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Did you know that Stuart Weitzman had an outlet? It's by invitation only but I have the hook up for you. They are offering an extra 25% off archive styles and up to 70% off everything else. Worth a look. The prices are fab!

Here's your next hostess gift. It's new from CB2. The Polished Aluminum Trivet is super cool! 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Nailed it, I hope. My nails have been problematic ever since I stopped using acrylic. My new nail technician swears by a product called Rejuvacote. It's a base coat and top coat in one. Has anyone used it? I just ordered it. I will let you know.

What's yours? Make it a good one, Friends!

P.S. I thought I would try something new this week. Normally Saturdays at Shop This is an un-fussy version of daily posts, without product images. Today I added a few. Let me know, if you will, which you prefer. Images or no images. Just reply to this email Thanks.
