This summer, I’m leaning all the way into light, effortless dressing — the kind that works whether you’re poolside with a paperback, sailing into golden hour, barefoot on the beach, or meandering through the countryside with no real plan.
I’m talking cotton gauze skirts that move with the breeze, white denim that feels lived-in, wet hair that dries in the sun, and button-downs that fall off one shoulder just enough. Flip flops, bare faces, salty skin. The vibe is undone, uncomplicated, and totally unbothered — because the best summer style isn’t about trying too hard. It’s about feeling like yourself, but a little more free.
Here are a few favorite looks for the upcoming season.
City Walks
Breezy mornings. Long lunches. Golden hour strolls. Summer in the city hits different — and your wardrobe should too. Whether you're darting between meetings or meandering through your favorite neighborhood, here’s how I’m dressing for the heat without losing the polish.

Setting Sail
Sun on your shoulders. Salt in the air. A playlist on low and a rosé on ice. Boat days call for effortless polish — think functional meets fabulous. Whether you’re anchored in a cove or chasing the horizon, here’s how I’m dressing for the dock and beyond.

Countryside Escape
Call it the slow style movement. When the city noise fades and the wildflowers take over, it’s time to soften everything — the fabrics, the colors, the pace. Whether you’re roaming through golden fields or just pretending to from your backyard, here’s how I’m dressing for that countryside state of mind.

Poolside Polished
Sun-drenched, SPF-loaded, and effortlessly chic — poolside days are the new golden hour. But make no mistake: lounging doesn’t mean lazy. Here’s how to bring main character energy to your chaise without breaking a sweat.

Any chance you can put together a Va style (Richmond) board - southern charm meets New England classic. I love your Cali style… just need something in the middle.
