Summer is officially here—and we’re leaning into every sun-drenched moment (covered in our favorite sunscreen, of course). There’s something about this season that invites us all to slow down, breathe deeply, and take in the little things: the scent of garden tomatoes ripening on the vine, the clink of glasses on the patio, the sparkle of sunlight on water. Whether you’re loading up the car for a weekend escape or planning a laid-back dinner at home, summer is the season for intentional living.
Around here, we’re kicking things off with a few of our favorite rituals: early morning farmers market runs, breezy coastal walks, s’mores on the back porch, and slow, golden-hour dinners that stretch late into the evening. We’re reliving sweet memories from past summers and already dreaming up a few new ones, too—including an adventure through some of our nation’s beautiful National Parks and a return to the peaceful coast of Maine later this summer.
Relaxed summer style needs to be easy and effortless. Our seasonal wardrobe is built on timeless staples that make packing and planning a breeze. Think breathable layers, lightweight fabrics, and a palette of soft neutrals that go from dockside dinners to casual coffee dates without missing a beat. It’s all about comfort, ease, and clothes that help you feel pulled together even when the heat index climbs.
Need a little outfit inspiration? Our Summer Style Guide has you covered with easy-to-pack essentials, layering tips, and a few of our favorite finds for weekend getaways and everyday wear.
Of course, style is just one part of summer living. It’s also about slowing down and savoring. Relax and enjoy the summer. We’re planning simple meals around what we find at the farmers market—ripe berries, fragrant herbs, crunchy cucumbers. We’re serving up summer recipes that are simple, delicious, and made to be shared. And we’re finding ways to make everyday moments feel a little more special.
So whether you’re traveling, hosting, or simply soaking in the sunshine from your own backyard, we hope this summer brings you everything you need: warmth, connection, adventure, and rest. We’re dishing up fresh summer recipes, gift ideas, style finds, and some project inspiration to help you live beautifully this season.
Let’s all make it a summer to remember!
