Happy Wednesday! It’s time for our weekly installment of new arrivals. In case you’re unfamiliar, every week, I search high and low to find the best designer and fast-fashion pieces—all of which just hit stores—so that you can be the first of your friends to wear them. After all, if you’re going to buy something, why not beat everyone else to it?

If you’re a regular reader of this weekly series (like I am), you know that it’s usually helmed by our Senior Market Editor Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour. While she’s on maternity leave, I’ll be doing my best to temporarily fill her very big shoes, so let’s get to it. 

Like my friend and colleague Nicole, I stalk new arrivals sections like it’s my job (and luckily, it is), as I believe it’s where the best stuff lives—and where you have the best chance of finding future It items before they sell out. But it can be a pretty time-consuming endeavor for anyone whose job it isn’t, so I’m here to make it quick and easy. 

With summer (and vacation season) in full swing, I’m guessing you’re probably in the market for fun pieces that embrace the warm and sunny weather, along with basics to wear on a daily basis. The new arrivals sections of Shopbop, Mango, Reformation, and Nordstrom (to name a few) have just what you need. Enjoy shopping my favorites below, and be sure to check back next Wednesday because there will be more new arrivals where that came from.
