Beautiful Summer Fashions for Everyone at Anderson’s Boutique

Sunshine! Flowers! Blue skies! It could only mean summer is right around the corner. Not that we’re biased or anything, but the Boutique at Anderson’s has some pretty spectacular dresses/tops/pants/shorts/jewelry/hats/purses/shoes/accessories to help you look—and more importantly, feel—fantastic!

Dress in a bowers of flowers!

First up, we want to share with you a gorgeous, easy-to-wear dress by Charlie Paige. With a refreshing burst of colors and a romantic floral print, this dress sets the scene for sun-soaked days and warm date nights. It falls above the knee and—WAIT! Hold everything! It has pockets, y’all. POCKETS! Yes.

To set it all off, the pretty bracelet and earrings are Periwinkle by Barlow, a family-owned business, just like Anderson’s. Finally, the sweet Kelly wristlet by Scout has two zipper compartments and a quilted interior so you can bring all your essentials without getting bogged down.

Vitamin Sea, Anyone?

Along with all the Vitamin D we’ll be enjoying this summer, don’t forget the “sea.” We have it here at Anderson’s in the form of this great acrylic stemless wine glass, perfect for the beach or pool. While you’re sipping, why not look great in this sleeveless shift Charlie Paige dress? It has a fun summer-themed print that includes flowers, seaweed, and pineapples.

This look is finished with a perfectly complimentary pink necklace by American Fashion, and blue earrings by Periwinkle by Barlow. The “sunnies” that look great on Melissa’s face or perched on her head are by Peepers and provide UVA and UVB protection.

Light, comfortable summer pants (and more!) are here.

Okay, ladies, we have found your summer pants! These wide-leg pants by Tribal boast a vibrant print and—hello—slit cuffs that let your ankles peak out and give you just enough swing. Made from lightweight crepe, they have a front drawstring closure and cute tassel accent, and yes, pockets. What else do you need? The timeless, relaxed-fit tank top, also by Tribal, really pulls this look together.

She’s also sporting a Dakine handbag with a wide, crossbody-strap that fits comfortably and securely. And it’s just the right size—not too bulky and not too small. On Melissa’s feet? Oofos sandals that feature revolutionary OOfoam™ technology. These comfortable sandals, that you can wear anywhere, absorb 37% more impact than traditional footwear foam materials to reduce the stress on your feet and joints.

And the perfect accent for this beautiful ensemble? Sparkling beachy colors collected in an ensemble of UNOde50 jewelry. (Pssst… Anderson’s carries a fab collection of this much-coveted jewelry line!)

The go-to outfit for, well, everything.

This is it! White cropped jeans are a must for summer, and these by Liverpool are at the top of the list. They have amazing stretch recovery technology that allows you to wear these crops all day, every day, without them bagging out. Add the gold-button placket hem and they are your next “it” item. We’ve paired them with a sleeveless tropical print top by Charlie B, where designs are inspired by women and made for women.

The jewelry is just as colorful and fun, with a Periwinkle by Barlow necklace, Charlie Paige bracelet and Mudpie hoop earrings.

The Boutique purse is big enough to carry essentials (and sometimes, a beach towel can be an essential, right?), as well as its own clutch “joey” bag inside.

What’s up your sleeve? If you’re lucky, ruffles for days.

We’re raving about these ruffles because they’re just the sweetest! Don’t be afraid to make a statement in this show-stopping, blue-stripe, lightweight polyester top by Mudpie, featuring tiered-ruffle short sleeves.

The party can start, right? Melissa’s also wearing peach Liverpool mid-rise trouser shorts with trim styling that you can dress up or down. That perfect tassel necklace is by Designs by Liza Kim, and earrings and Fleur de Vigne wristlet are by Spartina 449.

Do you know how versatile a kimono can be?

How cute is this? Melissa is rocking this Lotus and Luna Santorini Mandala kimono, which can be worn over a swimsuit, out on the town, to the office or as loungewear at home. The “vintage premium” Liverpool shorts have comfort stretch with cuff styling, and just enough distressing.

Melissa’s stunning necklace is by Coco + Carmen, and her bracelet is by Lizzy James. (And if you’re not familiar with Lizzy James, the bracelet is also a necklace. For real.) And finally, Melissa’s tamed her mane with this beautiful blue headband, also by Lotus and Luna.

Time for the beach.

Or the pool. Or the boardwalk. Or… This amazing coverup poncho by Just Bee is designed in America and captures your Bohemian style in stunning fashion. Or heck, wear it with a pair of skinny jeans and watch heads swivel. Melissa has grabbed her glorious Spartina 449 striped beach tote with the embroidered mermaid. And off she goes!

The hat—oh, my—the hat is another fantastic look! By Charlie Paige, this natural wide-brimmed beach hat has a dual-tassel band detail that puts it in a league of its own. She also sports a 4ocean bracelet made from recycled materials. Every bracelet purchased funds the removal of one pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines. And seriously, what’s not to love about that?

Stars and stripes…

And more stripes! These cute-as-can-be Southern Marsh shorts have watercolor stripes and are made of ultra-soft cotton with a small amount of spandex. And, like the South, they have a charming accent all their own: contrast pattern accents along the back pockets and hemline trim. A casual staple for the Southern Belle, the Southern Marsh t-shirt has a flattering fit with a sweet, simple V-neck for everyday wear.

Melissa has upped the stripes game with the Scout Daytripper shoulder bag, even adding a patriotic Boutique scarf. She’s also wearing Vere Everlasting Hairbands (designed and sized to wear as bracelets, too!), accessories that are strong, but gentle, unbreakable up to 30 pounds of tension, and made of a non-toxic material with a unique antimicrobial property. On her feet are Rainbow Sandals, created by hand, and made to feel good and last long.

Not to be overlooked… Anderson’s Boutique is also a Brotique.

Mrs. A. voluntold Christian to be our new male model, so he put down his work gloves, cleaned up nicely, and is dee-lighted to give you a preview of the cool duds you’ll find for dudes in our Boutique. We carry men’s apparel and accessories by Salt Life in both Newport News and Virginia Beach, and we also offer Costa del Mar, Southern Marsh and Dakine in our Virginia Beach location.

Broski steals the show.

We are certainly living the Salt Life here in coastal Virginia, and Melissa sports the V-neck tee, made of 100% cotton jersey knit for a comfortable fit. For her shorts, it’s the relaxed-fit, scalloped-leg short, which has a drawstring waist. Perfect for summertime! Her Salt Life hat features an adjustable slide buckle backstrap and a pre-curved visor. She finishes the look with the incredibly comfortable Oofas sandals. BUT…

With all that and as gorgeous as Melissa is, all eyes are on Broski, Melissa’s and Jason’s French bulldog. His job is to help us show off the Tall Tails dog dishes, stainless steel bowls nested inside fashionable and sustainable mango hardwood risers. So classy! They also have non-skid feet so they won’t slide around. For fun, we’ve included this Tall Tails Bone-and-Tug toy designed to handle back-and-forth play. And summertime is all about playtime, right?

Good boy, Broski! His most important job was to look cute. We think he nailed it.

Love, Anderson’s.
