Editors' Under-$100 Fashion Picks: July

"I love a good white top to pair with jeans, and this lace-up design is both edgy and cool. Plus, it's not as intense as most corset tops I find."

Amy Lee, Fashion Editor

Topshop Corset Camisole Top, $40

"I'm on a major jewelry kick, and sculptural earrings are high on my list. This pair makes a delicate yet impactful statement—not to mention a pro styling hack when I pull my hair back into a wet bun in the morning."

Laura Lajiness, Fashion Editor

Seaworthy Johnetta Earrings, $99

"I'm not much of a sandal person—they're all but banned from the hipster circles in which I run—so I'm always looking for unique summer shoes. These fit the bill, and they're my favorite color to boot!"

Erin Nicole, Senior Lifestyle Editor

The Frankie Shop Red Woven Ballet Flats, $99

"This effortless tote has French-girl chic written all over it. I can't wait to carry it this summer from the farmer's market to the beach and everywhere in-between."
