Fashion Friday: Edition the mythical white tunic

Well not only did y’all provide great book suggestions in the comments yesterday, but several of you confirmed that I didn’t imagine that cute tunic at Anthropologie. I’m forever grateful because I really did wonder if I’d imagined the whole thing.

Here it is. It’s the sea island tunic by Hemant and Nandita but don’t go getting your heart set on it because it’s completely sold out.

Isn’t it perfect?

However, further online research led me to this version of it here on Revolve.

But it’s significantly pricier, which is saying something because the Anthro one wasn’t cheap. That’s why I passed on it to begin with and figured I’d wait until it went on sale. Plus, I personally like the shorter sleeves better.

The silver lining on this dark cloud of fashion misfortune is that I’ve discovered I love clothes designed by Hemant and Nandita and now I can be on the look out for things from them. Motley Crue was right, every rose has a thorn. Or maybe every thorn has a rose in this case. Whatever.

Here are some other cute things I found this week that aren’t currently sold out:

1. cameron dress

I have a dress that’s similar to this that I bought last summer at Anthropologie and I love it. It’s super comfortable, easy to throw on and looks great by itself or with a denim jacket over it. This also comes in some other colors, but I like this one the best.

2. aztec embroidered beach bag

I saw this beach bag and fell in love. And it’s only $40.

And then I saw this aztec beach bag with pom .

It’s like Sophie’s Choice. They are both perfect.

3. asbury button-down

I bought this shirt back in April when Gulley and I shopped with Jen in Houston. It’s really soft, the perfect chambray and goes so well with everything from a pair of white jeans to a maxi skirt.

4. dahlia gladiator sandal

I’ve really wanted a pair of gladiator sandals but can’t commit to the whole laces or straps all the way up my leg thing. But I really like these because it’s just a tie and you can kind of determine how high or low you want them to lace. They come in several different color options but I think the Sunkissed is the most versatile.

5. temples embroidered dress

I haven’t seen this in person but it looks really cute and also comes in white.

6. island baja pullover sweater

It really gets to hot here in the summer to ever want to throw on any kind of a sweater. But if someone invited me to their house in the Hamptons or something along those lines, I love the idea of a lightweight summer sweater.

Now I just need to know someone who owns a house in the Hamptons. I mean, I know Bethenny Frankel from the Real Housewives but she doesn’t know me so that doesn’t really count, does it?

7. sole society geo duster earrings

I think these are so pretty. They’re simple but different from just a hoop which is what I tend to wear most of them time.

8. j.crew floral lace shift dress

I tried this on at J.Crew yesterday and loved the way it fit. It’s very flattering, comfortable and also comes in hot pink and royal blue. It’s perfect if you have any summer weddings to attend or anything along those lines. I didn’t buy it because I don’t really need it, but I wish that I did.

9. old navy linen pants

These pants are so comfortable and easy to throw on as an outfit or even over a swimsuit. And they’re on sale at Old Navy right now.

10. j.crew keating boy blazer

If you’re in the market for a good linen blazer, this one at J.Crew is on sale for less than $100 and looks so great. It comes in white, navy, papaya and light olive green.

That’s it for today.

Have a great Friday.
