Lookbook

As soon as the warm weather hits, I like to swap out my leather and suede bags for a straw or rattan tote. Years ago the options for straw bags were so basic and didn’t look good with work outfits or outfits that weren’t super casual. Fast forward to now and there are so many amazing styles that work for any summer outfits you could wear. In this post, I rounded up 11 of my favorite straw or rattan bag options to carry this summer.

Summer is here and my entire wardrobe has to shift because it is one of the hardest seasons to dress for. The heat and humidity makes getting dressed difficult so you have to build a wardrobe with classic pieces that you can style over and over each year. Things that make you feel put together and are timeless but still work in the hot temperatures. It’s definitely possible but takes some planning. I’ve put together 10 summer wardrobe essentials that every closet needs and will allow you to create looks easily with these pieces as your foundation.

I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IG, Tiktok, YouTube). I’ve never shared my favorites in a blog post but thought I would begin doing so in case you ever miss my monthly favorites video. These are all my favorite, most worn and most enjoyed products from the month. I love putting these lists together and sharing the best of the best with all of you! Here are my favorites from the month of June 2026.

Nothing screams east coast summer style more than anything lobster or fish themed. It may seem kitschy but there are a ton of stylish and chic options that you can add to your summer wardrobe to enjoy the trend. I rounded up my favorite picks from clothing, accessories and even pajamas! 

I have always been a jeans lover. They are my most worn style of bottoms to wear so I have quite a large selection in my closet. I haven’t acquired them all recently but over the past 10+ years I like to add a new style each season. Even though I have a ton of jeans in my closet, there are a handful of styles that I reach for over and over. They fit the best, are easy to style and feel incredibly comfortable.

I recently got back from a quick trip to kick off summer so this post felt appropriate to write because everything is still fresh in my mind! Going on vacation can be so exciting especially when deciding what to wear. Choosing your outfits can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of the trip especially when you can wear things you wouldn’t in your regular day to day life. It’s important to pack enough outfits to feel stylish without overpacking. In today’s post, I am going to share a roundup of vacation outfit ideas that can give you inspiration for your next trip.

Is there any color combination more indicative of summer than blue and white? There may be but as a lifelong east coaster, these two colors together signify summer in the best way. Classic and timeless but so many different options to choose from. I rounded up my favorite blue and white summer picks to add to your closet!

Summer is here so that means many people will be heading to the beach for vacation and relaxation. For me, choosing what to wear is one of the most exciting parts of the beach experience. LOL The perfect beach outfit should balance comfort, practicality, and style while being appropriate for everything from relaxing on the sand to grabbing lunch, sightseeing, or enjoying sunset drinks.

It’s been yearsss since I shopped at Zara but my friend ordered some things for summer that I immediately wanted. There are so many great basics and elevated staples that are perfect for summer. Here are some of my favorite finds from Zara!
