Dresses
August is all about transitional pieces. These still feel easy for late summer, but I’m already picturing them with boots and jackets for early fall.
A denim dress is one of those pieces I know I’d reach for constantly. Easy, casual and very me.
Z Supply Lucie Medium Wash Cotton Denim Mini Shirt Dress
For when I want the ease of a denim dress but still want it to feel a little polished.
Reformation Myla Denim Mini Dress
I love a twofer for fall because it gives you that layered look without actually having to figure out the layers.
Goldie Wool Cashmere Twofer Mini Dress
This feels like the dress I’d wear when I want to look put together but still feel completely comfortable.
Maeve Twofer Patchwork Midi Dress
Such a perfect transition dress. It has that late-summer feel but is already giving me the first hints of fall.
That's More Like It Navy & Tan Stripe Sweater Midi Dress
Tops
Still shopping for August but already thinking about fall. These are the easy layers, stripes, denim and warm neutrals pulling me into September a little early.
A denim button-up is basically a year-round wardrobe staple for me, and I love this washed indigo for transitioning into fall.
Z Supply Reese Washed Indigo Cropped Denim Jersey Button Up
This feels like such a good August top. Easy, casual and still has enough structure to feel styled.
The County Line Indigo Stripe Cotton Denim Tank
I love anything that gives a little collegiate energy without feeling like I’m actually going back to school.

The stripes make this feel classic enough to wear now and all through the fall.
PARKE Vintage Stripe Sweatshirt
The perfect everyday tee is one of those things I will always make room for in my cart.
Madewell The Perfect Crewneck Baby Tee in Allday Jersey
The camel colour immediately sold me. It feels like such an easy way to start bringing fall neutrals into my wardrobe.
Women's Elbow Sleeve Tie-Front Polo Sweater
A little more interesting than my everyday basics, but still simple enough that I can picture actually wearing it.
Women's One Shoulder Knot Top
This is exactly the kind of slightly preppy, slightly polished top I love for early fall.
Women's Lantern Puff Elbow Sleeve Collared Neck Blouse
Brown for late summer? Absolutely. I love how easy this would be with denim now and trousers later.
Women's Front Button Tank Top
Bottoms
The August bottoms I’m eyeing sit right between summer and fall.
These are giving me the comfort of lounge pants with enough structure to actually leave the house in them. The wide-leg denim is especially good for August.
Z Supply Daycation Denim Pants
I love an easy linen pant for August, especially one that feels polished without sacrificing comfort. These are exactly the kind of pants I’d throw on with a simple tee and call it an outfit.
Madewell Pull-On Linen Pants
A denim mini feels like the perfect way to sneak a little more summer into the wardrobe before I fully commit to fall.
BLANKNYC Denim Asymmetric Mini Skirt
Beauty
A very accurate mix of what’s actually in my beauty rotation and what TikTok has convinced me I need to try.
The perfect bronzer-blush combo for the weird little window between late summer and early fall. I love this colour for exactly that reason.
Maybelline New York Cloudtopia Cheek & Lip Mousse
I already love a milky toner, so adding niacinamide makes this an extremely easy addition to my August cart.
medicube PDRN Pink Niacinamide Milky Toner
I keep seeing these all over TikTok, so naturally I need to find out if they actually live up to the hype.
MEDICUBE Zero Pore Pads
Aquaphor will always be a ride-or-die for me. A spray version feels like a very convenient way to get even more use out of it.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment Body Spray Moisturizer
I already use this on my lips and keep one everywhere: my purse, my car, my bathroom. At this point, buying another one is just being prepared.
Aquaphor Healing Balm Stick
Shoes & Accessories
The August accessories I’m eyeing are already leaning heavily into fall.
I love this brown colour for August. It feels softer and warmer than my usual sneaker but still works perfectly with late-summer outfits.
adidas Gender Inclusive Samba OG Sneaker
Tortoiseshell is basically a neutral to me, and these feel like an easy sandal to wear right through the end of summer.
Tortoise Julio Sandals
Chocolate brown, croc texture and gold hardware? This feels like the easiest way to make an August outfit feel a little more fall.
Worth The Risk Chocolate Brown Croc Embossed Faux Leather Handbag
A classic everyday bag that feels polished enough for work but easy enough for weekends.
COACH Pebbled Crossbody Bag
The kind of everyday tote I’d carry everywhere once fall rolls around. Roomy, classic and very easy to style.
Madewell The Lexington Leather Tote (Women)
The little western detail I need to make my otherwise very classic fall outfits feel a bit more interesting.
Brown Croc-Embossed Western Belt
Because if my Kindle is coming everywhere with me, it might as well have a cute little outfit too.
Personalized Initials Name Gingham Kindle Case
Books
My August TBR is very much giving late-summer reading. A little beachy, a little emotional, a little twisty, and one very special pick because I finally talked my cousin into joining a book club with me.
This immediately caught my attention for a late-summer read. Give me a little nostalgia, family and summer and I’m interested.
The Edge of Summer
A Janelle Brown thriller is an easy addition to my cart. I’m always here for secrets hiding underneath a seemingly perfect life.
What Kind of Paradise
After loving The Great Alone and Firefly Lane so much, I’m very ready to see what Kristin Hannah does with a summer setting.
Summer Island
This has been on my radar for ages, and something about late summer feels like the right time to finally pick it up.
The Paper Palace (Reese's Book Club)
A historical story with a complicated family at the centre? Exactly the kind of book I tend to get completely absorbed in.
Keeper of Lost Children
My August book club pick! I finally talked my cousin into joining a book club with me, so naturally I’m very invested in this one being good.
