My Aunt Has a $300 Shopbop Credit—32 Things I Added to Her Cart Immediately

My Aunt Has a $300 Shopbop Credit—32 Things I Added to Her Cart Immediately
Sylvie Mus wearing a black linen Posse vest and skirt set.

My aunt is one of my favorite people to talk style with. Every time I see her, she's always wearing the latest shoe trend or styling a cool pair of jeans better than anyone else I know. In fact, in my entire life, I've never seen her looking anything short of chic, so it should come as no surprise that she went into fashion merchandising and has worked in everything from personal styling to buying ever since. I'm constantly texting her about my latest purchases and vice versa, so when she mentioned that she was poking around on Shopbop, I knew exactly what to do.

With a $300 credit in her account, I put together what I think is the ultimate shopping guide to the site. Ahead of summer and vacation season, I loaded up her cart with all the airy linen sets, woven bags, pretty sandals, and chic swimsuits I could find. As a 30-year-old, I'd order each of these pieces, but I know my aunt would also adore them despite her being 25-odd years my senior. In other words, the pieces you're about to see ahead are as ageless as they are current.
