Summer Essentials?

Harper's Bazaar shares their list of what to buy, and wear this season.



1. The Flat Sandal
If not now, when? There's no excuse to pass on low yet luxurious leather sandals this season. A brightly colored pair works equally well with a long halter-neck dress or short shorts and a gauzy top—not to mention a great pedicure.
Hermes sandals, $1,025, 800-441-4488

2. The Flowing Dress
What better way to capture the season's bohemian spirit than with a diaphanous floor length dress? Wear it with flat sandals for day, and take it up a level with a heel for evening.
