Once in a blue moon, I come across a quiet summer Saturday. A much needed palette cleanser you didn’t realize you need. Yes, there’s always a lot going on. Swim pre-order is closing today, our final batch of Blue Lancaster webstock has arrived (!!!!), and of course we have something up our sleeve next week. But unlike seemingly everyone else on the internet, I’m not in Europe this weekend and I couldn’t be happier. It’s weekends like these that are so important to recharge, find new inspiration and look ahead. I’m bubbling over with fall inspiration.
I used to think Spring was the most exciting time in clothes, but over the last year I think September into October has much more energy. Mixing the last hot summer weather with the promise of cooler ahead is much more exciting than pushing petals when it’s firmly 50 degrees. So below, some things I’ve been eying and seeing to polish up the coming *late summer* season.
I’m trying to simplify my shoe rotation this summer. I’m a little exhausted by the wicker/rattan of it all. These just arrived from Net-a-porter an hour ago and I’m very excited.
This brand is usually a little too “logo” for my taste, but I certainly have had these in my cart for weeks.
This sunscreen was stocked in the mini bar of a recent hotel and I loved it. I’ve tried the oil but the sunscreen is also divine. Smells divine and applies like a dream. Would be essential in any pool house. One bottle lasted two of us a scant two days of full sun, so definitely stock up. They sell sets of three on amazon.
My go-to summer shimmer. A little goes a very, very long way.
I watched this documentary this week and it’s divine. Great B role of the 50’s studio system behind Rock Hudson’s incredibly moving and powerful story. It made me want to rewatch Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood on Netflix.
