If the best things in life are free, I’d say anything cheap and affordable ranks a close second. For the budget-savvy folks out there, we scanned through the new arrivals at a few of our favorite stores including Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, and Shopbop to pick out the coolest, chicest finds under $150. No, these items aren’t on the house, but at their inexpensive price-point, it feels like the next best thing. 

For those wanting to take advantage of this year’s biggest trends, we’ve got you covered there: including an embellished tie-top bikini and a retro-floral print sundress that looks deceptively luxe. If your mind is on accessories right now, I found the perfect earrings and summer sandals guaranteed to make all of your summer outfits really shine. Considering their price, I don’t imagine these will stay in stock for long, so keep scrolling and happy shopping!

Treat yourself.
