At the Market: Effortless Summer Style

I want what I wear to feel easy.

Welcome to At the Market, your place to browse what’s in season in the Land of Oaks and Roses.

We got a taste of 75-degree weather where I live this week. Let’s talk about summer style! My summer style is just as much about creating magical moments as it is about sweating my ass off getting kids to camp drop-off on time. In both scenarios (and everything in between) I want what I wear to feel easy. Ease is the style tenet I always come back to. You’ll also notice that many of these pieces are things I talked about and wore last summer. My hope is that if this newsletter helps you buy something, it will be one of the pieces in your closet that you’ll love year after year too. Enjoy!

Think drop-off/pick-up, walking your dog and all the other times you have to be outside when it’s too hot to be outside.

1. I mostly walk my kids to camp and these (currently $19!) are the shorts I live in while doing that. I love the wide waistband + the length isn’t as short as it looks in their photos.

2. I wear the above so often that I’m always on the lookout for similar styles like this one.

3. These also look great. I’m keeping my eye out for the restock of the limestone color.

The ultimate wear everyday summer sandal.

1. I just got this new color of the Arizonas. I also have this waterproof version for the pool/beach. More sizes here.

2. A buttery take in chocolate brown. Birkenstock also makes a pretty backstrap version.

3. Another beautiful Birks inspired style with a square toe!

p.s. I wanted to include these too even though they didn’t fit in with my theme above :) They’re well priced and look like another wear everyday option. I love the green/navy version.

1. When easy and pretty meet. Code OLIVIAW15 for 15% off. Also love this similar style.

2. Gauze just feels so good to throw on.

3. More gauze because it’s the definition of ease + a slightly more elevated take here.

This category was so hard to narrow down! My takeaway is that Posse and Dissh are two (female founded) brands that are doing linen really well.

1. Great silhouette to pair with high waisted jeans. Or their matching shorts. This $88 similar style was gifted to me and the quality is also great!

2. The ease! This one too.

3. I’m obsessed with this color. My best friend recommends the polka dot version. More sizes here. Posse produces in small quantities but they do restock sizing every so often. Moda is a great place to check for more sizing from them.

A color that gets better and better with a tan.

1. This is my all-time favorite swimsuit since having kids. They just came out with this red color that I love!

2. So pretty for a pop.

3. I’ve been looking for more tops like this to make a jeans outfit feel special. This Mirth is my runner up that I wanted to squeeze in too.

Sunscreen, swim diapers, water bottles…I almost never leave my house with a small bag in the summer.

1. A true classic that comes in every size and color. I love how people like

   Joyce Lee
   and Gracie Wiener are making it feel new again.

2. A happy $60 option that says summer.

3. My prettiest summer bag. This was gifted to me but I got to pick it out and love it a lot. The straps are leather, which gives it a more dressed feeling.

I’m most likely to get dressed up in the summer. The rarity makes it extra special these days!

1. More red.

2. The most beautiful dress I’ve seen this season. I have one of the their slips too. This would be my runner up from the same brand.

3. Another best friend find that I’m obsessed with it.

Honorable Mentions

A few more special things because summer is the hardest to narrow down!

• Pretty throw-on dresses here and here.

• This is the denim short I’m most excited to try because the waist is high + the leg has an extra easy fit. More sizes here.

• Another high waisted and relaxed summer denim style that I love. More sizes here.

• Two excellent lightweight summer knits here and here.

• Splurgy but the details on this are hard to ignore.

One Last Thing

I haven’t worn makeup regularly in 5+ years but I recently got a gifting from RMS that changed that. The ingredients are so clean and feel more like putting on skincare than makeup. My routine is super minimal - favorites here and here. I’m enjoying it so much. Wait until tomorrow to order as their lovely team just let me know that a new sale will be starting then! Plus, code OLIVIA-20 will give you 20% off at checkout.

See you next week!
