If you need a fun print for an upcoming vacation or summer event, then look no further than this linen floral dress (size S). It such a gorgeous style, and is a great option for those who want some summer fun but prefer sleeves.

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!

Another fabulous top is this palm print blouse (size S). It is the perfect top for summer nights out or vacation.

 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

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.

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!
