As we’re nearing the end of summer, and most stores start bringing in their Fall collections, it’s now an amazing opportunity to stock up on some key items for next year.

I’ve searched the pre-labor day sales on some of my favorite retailers’ sites, and bring to you a #‎MarkdownMondays ‬style digest with some nice basic pieces that will transcend trends and can still be useful for next summer (and the interim season). Basic tees, a stylish striped blazer, boyfriend jeans and relaxed espadrilles – here you have all the elements you need to dress with ease and style.

Enjoy – and happy styling! All shopping details below.
