Happy Monday! Did everyone have a good weekend? A couple of weeks ago I talked about affordable fashion under $100, and it did so well that today I want to focus on more of my recent summer fashion finds under $100. These pieces look like high-end designer, but at a fraction of the price. I love mixing high and low with fashion.Let's take a look!

Summer Fashion Finds Under $100

Let's start with some gorgeous blouses. This pink lace blouse (size S) is such a great color for summer, plus I love the feminine lace details. Another fabulous top is this palm print blouse (size S). It is the perfect top for summer nights out or vacation. I styled them with these jeans (fit TTS), which are some of my favorite fits for summer. You could also style these tops with white jeans or shorts.

I love a great printed dress for summer. They are perfect for summer events, date nights, and lunches with friends. It's even better when they're under $100. This orange floral print dress (size S) is easy and the perfect pattern for sunshine. I also love this belted striped dress (size S). It's so flattering and a classic summer style.

Ok this loungewear top and shorts set (size S) is SO cozy. The relaxed fit is perfect for the weekend, plus the material is beyond soft.

Two tops that are perfect for summertime. This striped tank (size S) is the perfect layering piece for summer and this striped blouse (size S) is just a classic style.

This white midi dress (size S) is just so cute and perfect for summer. I love the mixed media and high neck style! Perfect for summer date night or vacation. Keep scrolling for ideas on how to layer the dress.

Two lightweight sweaters that I will wear on repeat this summer includes this American flag sweater and this cardigan (size S). Both are so lightweight, so they pair well with shorts, dresses, and more. You need these if you're visiting a coastal town, if they summer air conditioning leaves you chilly, or if you want to add a chic element to your look. Just add sunglasses!

If you want the softest and most put together set for summer days, then this twill button up and shorts set (size S) is for you! Although the top is a little over $100, it is worth it. It's so versatile and can be worn either with the matching shorts, white jeans, or a linen pant.

Another cozy set that's perfect for summer is this short sleeve sweatshirt and gym shorts set (size S). It's the perfect throw on set for running errands, a quick lunch with a friend, or going to get a spray tan.

I ended with a dress that is a little over $100, but still so affordable considering the quality! This mixed media dress (size S) is easy, breezy, and perfect for any summer plans you have. It comes in three great color choices as well. I love it for summer date night, a backyard BBQ, or brunch with friends.

 Today I want to talk about my absolute summer essential: sunscreen! Ever since my skin cancer scare, I will not leave my house without sunscreen, especially in the summertime. It has become my non-negotiable, which is why I want to look at my go-to daily sunscreen that's not only dermatologist recommended, but also so lightweight that you won't even know you're wearing it! Daily sunscreen is one of the best habits you can build into your skincare routine, and finding a formula you genuinely enjoy wearing makes all the difference.

EltaMD

I think a lot of people still associate sunscreen with beach vacations or long summer pool days, but daily SPF is truly an everyday essential regardless of the season or weather. It’s one of the easiest ways to help protect your skin from sun damage while also supporting your overall skincare routine. What I personally love about EltaMD is that the formulas feel so lightweight and give your skin a natural glow. Some sunscreens can feel greasy, thick, or overly heavy under makeup, but the EltaMD formulas are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to incorporate into your morning routine.

One of their sunscreen products that I reach for most often is the EltaMD Tinted UV AOX Elements Broad-Spectrum SPF 50. The tinted version gives the skin such a pretty, natural-looking skin tone while still feeling super lightweight. It’s perfect for casual days running errands, travel days, or weekends when I want a quick foundation layer without putting on make-up. It truly blends in with every skin tone!

Somedays I prefer an untinted sunscreen, which is when EltaMD UV Clear Untinted SPF 46 is ideal. This sunscreen also feels incredibly lightweight on the skin and blends in beautifully without leaving my skin feeling sticky or overloaded with product. Plus, it also layers well with makeup. It’s the kind of SPF you actually want to reapply because it feels so nice on the skin. The formula is also designed for blemish-prone and sensitive skin types, which makes it such a great everyday option for so many people.

If you are experiencing redness or skin sensitivity, then the EltaMD Green Tint UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 is a must. It's a 100% mineral sunscreen, but still maintains the lightweight texture as the other sunscreens. It neutralizes and calms the appearance of your skin, making it best for those who have sensitive skin or are post-procedure. Their products also come in a UV broad spectrum stick and mist option, so there's an option for everyone. They even carry UV Broad Spectrum Lip Balm!

Another reason I’ve become such a fan of the EltaMD is because of their skincare-focused ingredient blend. I actually was first recommended to use EltaMD by my dermatologist years ago because of how excellent their sunscreen is for skin. It is made of niacinamide to help improve the appearance of skin tone, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and vitamin E for antioxidant support. I love when skincare and sun protection work together because it makes your skincare routine easier! Application is simple. Just use it like a moisturizer and put it on as a base before your make-up.

Besides sunscreen, you also need other skincare essentials when enjoying sunshine. This sunhat and sunglasses are my go-to's if I will be in the sun for any prolonged period of time. Also, don't forget to apply sunscreen on your feet and hands! Wearing flip flops instantly exposes your feet and driving will cause sun damage to your hands. You can never be too careful, especially in the harsh summer sun.

This summer, let's all agree to use sunscreen as part of our daily skincare routine. Shop more of my EltaMD SPF essentials below! xoxo - Tanya

Happy Friday, friends! As we dive into summer, I’ve rounded up some affordable and stylish finds that will take you right through the season. Today’s post is all about spring and summer essentials, and the best part is: everything is under $100! From clothing and shoes to accessories and home decor, I’ve found the perfect pieces to refresh your wardrobe and home without splurging. And, I’ve also included my Five Friday Finds — a curated list of the things I’m loving right now. These are perfect for treating yourself at the start of a new season. You’ll find all the shopping links in the boutique below!

Everything Under $100

When I’m looking to update my wardrobe for a new season, I love incorporating accessories. They’re a quick and affordable way to freshen things up. This season, I’m obsessed with this canvas and faux leather bag. It’s cute and versatile! Another summer essential is a pair of sunglasses. They add instant polish to any outfit. This pair looks high-end designer but is under $100.

Shoes are another category I love to update, and these braided slide sandals are a must-have. Trendy yet budget-friendly, they’re the perfect way to step into summer without breaking the bank. I’m also loving a good summer flat like these woven Mary Janes for under $100. They’re the easiest way to elevate your closed-toe shoe game, while still being breathe-able for warm weather.

Now, let’s talk about wardrobe staples. Everyone needs a chic summer dress, and this striped belted midi dress is a winner. It’s so versatile and the perfect put together dress to easily dress up or down depending on the occasion. Another classic summer style is this linen shift dress. It's a staple wardrobe piece that can be worn as is, with layers, and everything in between.

For tops, this embroidered shirt is one of my favorites. It’s versatile, flattering, and a great elevated take on a basic tee. And don’t overlook the cardigan! It’s perfect for spring and summer, whether you’re layering it over a sundress or casually tossing it over your shoulders for that effortless, put-together vibe.

You also need to make sure you have a stylish pair of linen-blend dress shorts. This pair is so chic compared to the usual short. Plus, the Bermuda length is great if you want more coverage. You also have to have a great pair of white wide leg jeans. It is a must for summertime, so why not get a pair that's under $100?

Lastly, let's look at home finds under $100. How cute is this woven rickrack charger?? It's an easy and affordable way to elevate your tablescape game. I also love this wood shadow box to use as a tray or decorative piece on a coffee table, foyer table, kitchen counter, and more. Target, especially their Hearth & Hand with Magnolia brand, is my go-to for chic home pieces that don't break the bank.

Five Friday Finds

A curated roundup of what I’m loving this week

I thought it was the perfect time to share a few fabulous finds ... some for you, some to gift, and some that simply make life a little more beautiful. These are pieces I’d wear, use, or display myself.

1. Madewell Barrel-Leg Jeans

I absolutely love these Madewell Darted Barrel-Leg Jeans — they offer the perfect mix of comfort and style with a relaxed fit and flattering high-rise waist. They give me that easy, cool vibe while still looking put together enough for everyday wear.
Tanya’s Tip: Pair them with a tucked-in blouse for a chic look, or go casual with a simple tee and sneakers for the weekend.

2. OneSkin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement

I’ve been using the OneSkin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement for a year now and it’s truly a game-changer. It targets crepey skin, fine lines, and loss of firmness, giving my skin a smoother, more youthful look. Plus, it's under $100. I talked about this on Instagram Stories and it instantly became one of my top sellers!
Tanya’s Tip: I apply it daily to my arms and décolletage areas. It’s a must for keeping skin feeling firm and radiant.

3. Tory Burch Kira Straw Shoulder Bag

A classic raffia or straw handbag is always a good investment, and the Tory Burch Kira bag is a perfect example. It’s structured, sophisticated, and perfect for everyday summer wear, no matter where your life or travels take you.
Tanya’s Tip: Think of a straw back as a neutral handbag in the summertime. It goes with everything and can be your everyday bag throughout the season.

4. Hotel Lobby Candle – Signature Scent

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect candle, and this Hotel Lobby Candle smells like pure luxury. It has a warm, elegant, and fresh scent that makes any space feel like a five-star hotel.
Tanya’s Tip: Light it in your entryway to set the tone for your guests the moment they walk in.

5. Anthropologie Floral Ceramic Vase

This floral ceramic vase from Anthropologie adds a pop of personality to any room. The unique design makes it a standout piece, whether you fill it with fresh blooms or use it as a décor accent.
Tanya’s Tip: Fill it with white hydrangeas for an instant summer refresh — it’ll brighten any space!

I hope these finds inspire you to treat yourself or someone special this season! Everything I’ve shared today is under $100, and I truly believe that great style doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.

Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend, and be sure to check out the boutique for more of my favorite spring and summer essentials.

Memorial Day Weekend Style

Let's look at my top picks for summer. These white denim shorts are so cute and a great option for a longer short. Pair them with this red collared blouse or one of the many options I have shown below. If you're going to the coast or somewhere that can get chilly, then you'll want this Americana sweater. It's the perfect layer for summer. I wear mine all the time. I also just got this flag sweater for under $40 and it's so good. These looks all go well with either shorts or white jeans. Check out more of my white jean picks in this post.

If you’re more of a dress gal like me, this striped shirtdress is so cute and perfect for an everyday summer look. I'm also loving this sailor-striped midi skirt to pair with a white, red, or navy top for your weekend summer parties. More favorites include this striped tank dress, this shell embroidered maxi dress, and this red gingham dress for under $100. Make sure to scroll past the sales to see even more dress options.

For some fun footwear, grab these red and white braided sandals. You'll also need these buckle slide sandals in your summer wardrobe. I also love these slide sandals for a lower price point option. If you're going for a more sporty-chic look, these sneakers are perfect. You can really pair them with any summer look.

Don't forget about the accessories...adding some nautical pieces to your summer wardrobe is so chic. This red cord seashell necklace is perfect for Memorial Day, July 4^th, or any event you have this summer. A fun shell print hair scarf is another fun addition to your summer wardrobe. I also love a gorgeous bag for summer, and this red and white woven mini tote bag is too perfect.

If you're hosting a pool party then you'll need this inflatable pool float and this inflatable pool lounger. You'll definitely need this woven beverage tub, these adorable rickrack trim chargers, and a cute melamine serving plate.

You also need a cute swimsuit. This red gingham one-piece is super cute and so flattering. Just add sunglasses and sunscreen!

Spring is flying by, which means summer will be here before we know it. This time of year is all about those easy pieces you can wear now and continue styling all summer long. Think dresses, white denim, raffia accessories, and lightweight layers that work for everything from lunch with friends to vacation dinners. Today, I’ve rounded up my favorite spring-to-summer transitional outfits, all looks that feel classic, chic, and easy to mix into your everyday wardrobe this season. These pieces are also great for travel because you can mix and match them several different ways. Some of you may remember these looks from our Chico's LIVE segments! We have our next one on June 3rd at 3PM CST, so be sure and tune in on either Chico's Instagram or Facebook feed.

For sizing purposes, we both wear a Chico's size 0, which translates to a regular size 4. I size down a half size in their shoes.

Spring to Summer Transitional Styles

Let's start with two dresses that you need now! This lace cut-out white dress is just gorgeous for summertime. Style it with these seashell sandals and this bamboo bucket bag for a fun summer look. Another dress you need is this denim midi dress. I love the pockets and structured style. It also comes in white, perfect for summer events. Laura styled it with these espadrille slide sandals and this scenic clutch.

Two more midi dresses you definitely want in your wardrobe! This linen-blend metallic striped shirtdress is the epitome effortless, chic, and comfortable. I love the stitched cinch waist making it flattering. I styled it with these gorgeous embroidered ballet flats and a statement necklace. Laura is wearing this fabulous lace trim shirtdress, the perfects statement dress for summer! It also comes in black if you prefer a neutral color. She styled it with these espadrille wedge sandals and this toggle charm necklace.

For a more coastal feel, this printed midi dress is gorgeous! I styled it with this belt and this statement necklace. I am also wearing these mesh espadrille flats that I love! Laura is wearing a great LBD for summer. This embroidered cotton shirtdress is a lightweight and effortless dress. It also comes in white. I love that the belt is removable, giving you an option for a more relaxed fit. She completed her look with these espadrille wedge sandals and this statement necklace.

Hello summer! We are beach ready in these styles. I'm wearing this palm printed no-iron blouse and shorts combo. I love an all-print look for travel, but you could easily mix and match these pieces with solid white or denim. Laura is wearing this red no-iron blouse and these lightweight wide-leg capris (fit is relaxed). Style these looks with beach-y accessories like this seashell crossbody, these seashell sandals, espadrille slides, and this metallic straw sun hat.

White denim is a must for transitional season! These girlfriend colorblock jeans are a fun twist on a classic style. If you need a great white jeans, then these white girlfriend jeans are a must. They fit great and are so comfortable. Style your white jeans with easy pieces like this striped shirt, this no-iron linen shirt, or layer with a white denim jacket.

As you can see, we both love these eyelet ankle pants. They're made from a special sculpting material that is so flattering! Above, I styled my pants with this coral striped cotton shirt, the perfect lightweight top for summertime. Laura styled her red pants with this textured tee, this denim leopard-print jacket, and this fun beaded statement necklace.

Spring-to-summer dressing doesn’t have to be complicated. I always gravitate toward pieces that are chic and versatile enough to wear multiple ways throughout the season. As always, I recommend trying a few standout items and building your looks around them.

Which look is your favorite? xoxo Tanya
