As we are well into our first full week of August I thought I would highlight the new arrivals that have caught my eye this month. August is always a tough month to shop – it’s so cuspy! We still want those open knit breezy summer pieces but our minds are thinking ahead to pre-fall and changing weather, which calls for darker tones, heavier fabrics, and more coverage.

A few things I am feeling for this month: primary color blocked knits, platform gazelle sneakers, jewel toned trench coats, micro gingham checked skirts back to oversize striped woven shirts, and fall forward sets (top and skirt).

Below you’ll find August new arrivals from brands I love including Dôen, Boden, And Other Stories, Cos, as well as select picks from my go-to retailers like NET-A-PORTER and Nordstrom…
