Shop in Shop is a monthly column dedicated to rounding up the latest arrivals, seasonal trends, and styles from our favorite brands and retailers.
Although the air is still thick with humidity, summer is indeed winding down. My summer style has been a steady rotation of jorts, lacy blouses, spaghetti-strap tanks, and slip dresses—easy pieces that feel as laid-back as my summer has been. But I'm ready to make the most of what's left of the season and kick my late-summer style into high gear. I want to have even more fun with my accessories by adding trend-forward pieces like bandana scarves and bug-eye sunglasses, along with pre-fall arrivals like suede bags and purple barn jackets. These are specific picks, I know, but they're exactly what's on my late-summer shopping list. To see 24 new arrivals from Quay, Quince, Free People, and Michael Kors that work now and well into fall, keep reading.
I look forward to getting a few new Free People pieces every season, and the items I share below are a mix of what I currently own and what is left on my wish list. I've been wearing the Sky Dancing Midi Dress ($168) on repeat this month, while the Chelsea Funnel-Neck Jacket ($168) is coming with me to Outside Lands next week. No matter what city and climate you live in, these pieces will carry you through to fall.

Historically, I've played it pretty safe in the eyewear department. This summer, however, I've reached for edgier pairs, and I love the contrast they give to more relaxed summer outfits. QUAY has every trending style for the season. Here are six of my current favorites.
I'm calling this section from Quince my "mix and match edit." I'm not in the mood to buy one-off pieces that I'll wear for one month before the season changes. I think the following pieces are versatile enough to wear with the rest of my late-summer-into-fall wardrobe.
Quince
100% Organic Cotton Gauze Sleeveless Swing Dress in White
Quince
Italian Leather Glove Ballet Flats in Cherry
Quince
100% Silk Printed Square Scarf in Tiny Dot Black/White
I can't leave you without sharing a few new handbags that have crossed my desk. I love these pre-fall styles from Michael Kors. They play into the current and predicted trends of the remainder of the year: east-west shapes, suede materials, and bucket styles.

I'm a beauty editor, which means trend-spotting is a very real part of my job. Whether it's predicting the bixie would be the number one short haircut of 2026 (so far, so good) or fully immersing myself in an obsession with mermaid waves, I'm constantly talking about all things hair. This year, the top summer hair trends can be summed up with one word: effortlessness.
It girls are swapping high-maintenance hair colors for easy, blended, natural-looking ones. Whether blonde, brunette, or somewhere in between, these colors require little upkeep and few salon appointments to keep them looking fresh. In fact, the more natural and grown-out they look, the better.
Recently, there's been one natural-looking hair-color trend filling up my IG feed, and I can't lie… I'm highly influenced to embrace it, like, yesterday. I'm talking about "teddy bear bronde." It's a warm, sun-kissed, and caramel-like color that celebs like Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have already cosigned. Keep scrolling to learn why it's taking over in summer 2026 and how to maintain it once you have it, according to experts.
What is teddy bear bronde?
First things first, what is teddy bear bronde? The last word is the key. Bronde is a combo of blonde and brunette. It's a caramel-colored in-between—not exactly light, not exactly dark. "This technique involves creating soft, delicate highlights that are slightly lighter than the natural hair color (no more than two levels lighter)," Revlon R&D salon expert stylists tell me. "The highlights are carefully blended and seamlessly diffused throughout the hair to avoid harsh regrowth lines and ensure a natural-looking transition as the hair grows out."
The aim, they say, is to re-create the natural lightened effect that you'd get from being out in the sun. It's all about "adding brightness, dimension, and movement while preserving the harmony of the base color." The result is sun-kissed, luminous, and sophisticated.
If executed properly by a stylist, "the technique allows the natural regrowth to blend seamlessly, avoiding the traditional root effect and ensuring a soft, gradual transition as the hair grows. This makes the highlights a low-maintenance service, reducing the need for frequent salon visits while maintaining a polished and natural appearance," they tell me.As someone who loves a low-maintenance hair color, I'm sold.
It's one thing to know which color you want; it's another to communicate it to your hairstylist. While inspiration pics are always recommended, the experts have a few tips to ensure you get a true teddy bear bronde. "A clear way to request this service in the salon is to explain that you would like to add brightness and dimension to your hair in a natural-looking way without creating strong contrasts," they explain. "The goal is to achieve subtle highlights that are one to two levels lighter than your base color while maintaining harmony with your hair's natural undertones and reflect."
Depending on your current base color, soft beige and light brown are typically recommended, as they enhance movement and dimension without looking unnatural. "The result is an elegant, luminous, and effortlessly natural look—as though the hair has been gently lightened by the sun over time," they add.
Teddy bear bronde is about as low-maintenance as you can get, but that doesn't mean an at-home haircare routine can't extend the stunning, sun-kissed aesthetic. "To further extend the longevity of the result, the stylist may recommend a personalized at-home maintenance routine using color-depositing products such as shampoos, masks, or pigmented serums. These products help preserve the desired tone, reflect, and color balance while maintaining the hair's cosmetic quality, shine, and overall health between salon appointments," the stylists say.
Moisturizing and strand-strengthening products are also key. They enhance the luminous look of the color and keep color-processed hair in check. (I don't know about you, but my hair always feels so weak after a color appointment, and don't even get me started on split ends.) Below, see a selection of the best nourishing and strand-strengthening haircare products.

In the world of red carpet fashion, everyone tends to focus on the glamorous gowns, designer heels, and ornate jewelry. While I certainly love a good jaw-dropping dress—can you believe Zendaya's looks for The Odyssey press tour?—a lot more goes into creating a good red carpet look than meets the eye. The correct undergarments are just as essential as the right length of pants or type of sleeve. Bras and underwear are often celebrity stylists' secret weapon, so I'm always curious what their favorite pieces are.
For the London premiere of The Shards, Kaia Gerber wore a pair of black Intimissimi Brazilian Panties in Seamless Ultra Light Microfiber ($18), which come in over a dozen different colors and boast hundreds of five-star reviews. The seamless panties are made with moisture-wicking, breathable microfiber with a 100% cotton inner gusset. Scroll down to shop the exact pair of underwear she just wore on the red carpet with a fantastic Fendi couture silk chiffon gown.
The most logical way to bridge summer and fall starts with a specific shoe style. If you guessed mules, I'm happy to say that you're correct. It's simply the ideal sandal-and-flat-shoe hybrid to bridge the gap, and it works equally well for both seasons. It's also the perfect airport shoe, as it's comfortable and keeps your feet covered and can easily be slipped on or off if needed. If you want to take things a step further and talk about the specific mule trend to wear to the airport this fall (and now, of course), look no further than Gisele Bündchen, who was recently spotted at the airport in Rio de Janeiro.
The trend Bündchen wore is boat mules, a backless take on the boat-shoe trend (aka, deck shoes) that gained widespread popularity in recent seasons. Bündchen's shoes were a suede pair by Miu Miu, which, as you may recall, is primarily responsible for the resurgence of the boat-shoe trend, after it made its way down the brand's S/S 24 runway. And yes, Miu Miu is also responsible for making the mule version cool, as multiple brands have jumped on the bandwagon since. And as you'll see, the trend looks perfect with jeans, which is what Bündchen paired hers with, along with a button-down shirt over a white tank.
With that, scroll on to see Bündchen's chic airport look for yourself and to shop an array of boat mules to wear to the airport (or anywhere else) now and this fall.
