The Start Of Some Summery Things Sparking Joy…

Spontaneous YES days

Cherries in the fridge

This style of sunglasses… loving these aviators too after seeing them in person this week

Sun-kissed shoulders in halter tops and dresses (I honestly forgot how flattering this style is ~ two summer black staples to wear on repeat)

Unexpected color pops—Chloé’s peach hues have been on my mind and I’m always a big green person especially during these warmer months

The urge to wear the feminine-boho pieces I crave in the summer—(spoiler I’m currently in Italy with Net-A-Porter celebrating their exclusive capsule with Chloé which is giving me the most inspiration for summer dressing).

A chic black YSL sandal with linen pants

Chilled white wine with girlfriends (and game nights)… or by the beach

Family bike rides through the neighborhood

Going barefaced (relying on the golden tint of this spf and this cream bronzer that melts into your skin for that sun kissed glow)

Filling the house with roses from our yard / all of the summery flowers

Swimming with the kids (and wet swimsuits hanging in the tub to dry)

Opening the windows for the cooler morning / evening breeze

The scent of a clean house and freshly washed sheets (more home favorites here)

Lots of pool-towel washing ~ a sign of summer days well spent (these are really great quality, and have lasted us a couple summers now, and I also like these)

Iced almond milk lattes on my morning loop (I’ve also been inspired to run stairs lately—I know, what is happening!? Put on the good tunes and it is such an energy boost)

Alfresco meals followed by stove-popped popcorn and movie nights (my kids devour the classic butter flavor so much so that I subscribed to a monthly delivery)

All of the summer scarf hair styling potential—instant vacation mood—even if you're just in your own backyard. Bonus points for protecting your hair color from the sun, which is something my hairdresser is always reminding me to do. Also a dreamy scarf from Chloé… have to share since the girls are wearing them this week!
