    Stylin’ satchel

    This adorable satchel bag is perf for summertime! If you want a place to store some items, but don’t want to tote around a huge purse, then this bag is what you’re looking for. It glides over one shoulder, but isn’t too heavy. Sweet!

  • 12NEWrainbowwedges.jpg

    Fierce footwear

    Want a slice of style? Try wedges this summer for added height without sacrificing comfort. Just don’t rock them on the sand—it’s tough. (Check out our behind-the-scenes vid for proof!) Neutral wedges can tone down an already bold outfit, but bright patterned ones can add quite a kick!            

     

    Multicolor Strappy Espadrille Wedges, $23, gojane.com

  • 13orange.jpg

    Tribal goddess

    Knit wit

    Yes, this top is basically long sleeved, but it’s also the perfect summer coverup because of its light fabric. Try it with a printed skirt or your all-important denim cutoffs. A feather necklace adds a boho feel.
