I am in denial that August is around the corner, so to cope, I’m shopping for even more summer fashion and beauty items. Rather than the jelly sandals and Bermuda shorts I’ve already been wearing on repeat this season, my eyes are on the late-summer arrivals that have inspired a fresh batch of trends. I’m in the market for items in these three categories: Parisian-inspired outfits from J.Crew, charm jewelry from Pandora, and buzzy beauty items from Walmart. Each one of these brands has the trending pieces I’ve been looking for. So, before you get excited about fall arrivals, here are items you can wear and use for the remaining weeks of warm weather. Happy shopping!

If I had to name one fashion brand our office has been excited about this summer, it would be J.Crew. The slip skirts, lace-trimmed tops, crochet midi dresses, and now, an exciting new collaboration with French brand Rouje, have cemented its place at the top of our late-summer shopping wish lists. Here are just a few of my personal favorite pieces right now.

Charm jewelry has taken over every other accessory trend this season, so it’s officially Pandora’s time to shine. This iconic brand has been a staple in editors’ collections for years, and this year, we’re loving its aquatic-inspired charms, which fit into the fish motif trend. Each of these items has that hand-crafted charm (no pun intended) but with a long-lasting, luxurious feel.
