CITYist

It’s that time of year, time to bring out all the summer dresses, shorts, sandals, and tank tops that have been stored away, for what seems like years. If you are bored with what you have in your closet it’s time for a spring/summer wardrobe update. We get that being on a budget is important so we have selected some great pieces that are all under $100 and will have you looking super cute and ready to take on the summer heat in style.

Between last fall’s fur vest moment and, like, every season’s leather motorcycle jacket craze, being an animal activist in fashion can be, well, kind of a bummer. Thankfully, no matter which way the fashion winds blow, there will likely be a slew of designers putting an animal-friendly twist on the latest trends. Take a peek at our favorite polished purses for the summer with our four-legged friends in mind.

Don’t get us wrong: We love seeing a kick-ass cut-offs/band tee combo as much as we love seeing The Black Keys headline, like, every music festival this summer. But, our concert go-to’s could use a little reinvention. Click through for our picks for upgrades to your unofficial fest-ing uniform.

The city is finally heating up so we can take off all those layers and wear the cute dresses we’ve been eyeing for the past few months! Check out some of our favorites!
