Fun Summer Finds Under $300

Summer is here, and so is the hunt for stylish, practical, and joy-sparking essentials that won’t break the bank. I’ve rounded up my favorite summer finds under $300—from amazing new denim and chic workout sets to polished pearl earrings, playful handbags, and breezy dresses perfect for everything from beach days to dinner al fresco. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe or just adding a few special pieces, these picks strike the perfect balance of quality, style, and value.

• This floaty tiered dress turns a timeless floral print into a breezy statement piece—its light cotton voile and open-back ties make it perfect for throwing on over a bikini by day, then dressing up for sunset cocktails.
• Olive green is one of my favorite colors to wear and this cotton-linen tank and matching cardigan look fresh with white denim shorts now and will pair well with wide-leg dark denim come fall.
• This blue and white floral dress reminds me of one of my favorite dresses from Oscar de la Renta, for a fraction of the price!
• With a summer full of fun outdoors I'm making sure my workout attire is ready to go. I am obsessed with this tennis dress, and have these super flattering shorts in several colors. I refreshed my favorite organic cotton workout sets (top here, bottoms here) and like wearing them with this cotton zip-up for pilates class.
• This striped long-sleeved tunic dress would be great for July 4th festivities and beyond - and for something similar but a bit more beachy, this tunic is always a hit!
• These wedge espadrilles are one of my personal favorites, and on major sale right now!
• I love this Nantucket Red mini raffia tote for carrying the essentials.
• This short-sleeved white shirt will be your go-to top all summer. Half-tuck it into shorts, or tie it at the waist with trousers, I love the flattering sleeve and the perfectly poppable collar.
• I got a bunch of questions about the chunky necklace in this post last week and now it's sold out. This necklace is very similar if you're on the hunt!
• This eyelet tank is a charming topper for my favorite white linen trousers.
• Frame denim often sends me their new silhouettes to try, and their Le Slim Palazzo jeans (in their "keepsake" wash) are a new favorite! The perfect pair to wear with a fun summer top and flats, but look effortlessly cool, à la Jane Birkin. I'm a 25 in Frame and these run true to size.
• A little black dress that is perfect for outdoor events as it won't give you weird tan lines!
• Add these fun needlepoint luggage tags to your duffel in case your bag gets misplaced on the Nantucket ferry.
• A small Spanish brand just sent me these mod pearl studs and they're perfect if you love the face-illuminating power of pearls, but don't want to feel too prim. (The pearl is between 8mm-9mm, my ideal size!)
• These Missoni-inspired espadrille flats will elevate any solid-colored sundress this summer.
• I'd pair this bold-hued pareo with this chic straw tote for a day by the beach.
• My favorite pajama brand just came out with fireworks jammies for kids and they're so cute - perfect for staying up past bedtime to watch fireworks on the 4th.
• I finally got one of these blankets and it's the perfect thing to wrap up in on summer nights whether we're on the boat or sitting around a beach bonfire. It washes beautifully making it perfect for outdoor use. (They make loads of patterns, but I love the nautical stripes!)
• These canvas mary janes are comfortable and chic on hot summer days. Pair them with a linen shift dress or cropped white jeans.
• I'm a sucker for flag sweaters - and own and love this Nantucket Red version and this blue marled sweater - both of which are perfect for summer weekend getaways.
