July 2025
Dear Diary,
This summer feels different. The kind of summer that hums with possibility where every day is an invitation to chase sunsets, saltwater, and serendipity. It’s Summer ’25, and the trends are all about slow luxury, playful nostalgia, and hidden escapes.
Everywhere I look, girls are packing light but living big: silky slip dresses tossed over swimsuits, crochet totes carrying nothing but sunscreen and paperbacks, and shoes that slip off as easily as a daydream.
The vibe? Effortless chic with a splash of adventure.
Places We Visited...
In Europe
-
Amalfi Coast, Italy – Still iconic, but this summer it’s about renting a little Vespa and finding the cliffside trattorias away from the crowds.
-
Comporta, Portugal – Quiet dunes, barefoot dinners, and the kind of bohemian chic you thought only existed in magazines.
-
Hvar, Croatia – Sparkling turquoise waters and hidden coves—Europe’s best-kept secret (until now).
-
Provence, France – Lavender fields in bloom, rosé on tap, and long golden evenings.
✈️In the U.S.
-
Montauk, New York – Think surfer-girl mornings and barefoot bonfire nights.
-
Big Sur, California – Road-tripping with the windows down, stopping at secret beaches tucked between cliffs.
-
Nantucket, Massachusetts – Striped umbrellas, lobster rolls, and timeless coastal charm.
-
Palm Springs, California – Poolside glamour, desert sunsets, and mid-century magic.
A Poem for Endless Summer Days
The sun lingers,
golden and unbothered.
Waves keep time
as if the clock forgot its purpose.
Skin salted,
hearts untamed,
every horizon whispers:
stay, stay, stay.
And when I think of this summer, one detail always ties it together: my floral Bayside Mules. They slipped on for every stroll through cobblestone streets, every beach-to-dinner night, every “just one more” sunset. The perfect summer vacay companion—easy, beautiful, and made for endless days like these.
