This month’s mood is all about soft landings and long afternoons. It’s the feeling of sand between your toes, the quiet thrill of a solo bike ride with a warm breeze, and the joy of hugging a bundle of fresh baguettes like it’s your job. There’s movement here — swimming in deep water, riding through morning light — but also a sense of stillness and ease. A reminder that summer can be both energizing and grounding.

The color palette? Worn whites, salt-washed neutrals, golden sand, and the deep greens of forest and sea. Think cotton tees and knits, straw totes slung over your shoulder, a perfectly worn-in baseball cap, and oversized linen shirts that breathe with you.

At the heart of it all is simplicity:

• Striped chairs on the beach

• A refreshing swim in the wild

• Fresh bread, good reads, sun-kissed skin

• Finding joy in the little things, and letting that be enough

Here’s to a season of fewer plans, fuller days, and savoring the details that make life feel most like you.
