The right build ORDER with Poppy is situational, but I had 0 problems in laning top (except vs Teemo, who will become useless later anyway) with this:

start: Mana+health pendant+3 hp pot

first back: Philo+boot+ward

Then starts building tanky items like chain vest or null magic mantle. Avoid HP items, they will render your passive less effective. If you need sustain, go for vampiric scepter.

my typical mid game build: mercs tread, guardian angel, philo stone, trinity force or hextech gunblade

typical final build: mercs tread, guardian angel, philo stone (yes, I keep it until I have no other rooms left in inventory), trinity force, hextech gunblade, maw of malmortius (you can eventually trade this for a BT or another ad item if they have no AP)

Try this, be very defensive at start, then you'll become a beast.
