15 New Summer Arrivals on Nordstrom

1. Riviera Glam: Try this silk scarf tied around a ponytail before a boat day or wrapped around a handbag for lunch.

2. Yacht Club Energy: Nothing completes a Mediterranean summer wardrobe quite like a pair of oversized cat-eye sunglasses, and these add a dash of sophistication.

3. Backless and Crochet: This backless crochet halter top pairs nicely with your favorite linen skirt, however, you could dress it down with denim and it’ll look equally as cute.

4. Clear as Can Be: This clear jelly tote is a summer workhorse. Not only does it fit all of your summer essentials, but the jelly-like material means the bag will be easy to dust off sand post beach.
