FOUNDER'S PICKS
Let’s talk about August. It’s that magical month when the days still whisper summer, but the nights hint at cooler things to come. Think endless sunsets, rooftop cocktails, and that perfect balance of carefree and chic. I just got back from a trip to France that filled my creative well, which I’m more than happy to share with you!
Inspired by my recent French adventure, I've curated a collection of pieces that effortlessly blend French chic with summertime vibes for your upcoming trips.
In this edit we're exploring August's styles that I have my eye on this season, plus outfit inspiration on how to style each and new arrivals.
Gorgeous sunset to summer dinner
My recent trip to the Riviera was all about embracing a leisurely pace, soaking up the enchanting atmosphere, and indulging in the simple pleasures of life. From exploring charming little towns to savoring breathtaking sunsets over dinner, I immersed myself in the region's effortless chic. Let me share my journey as I navigate the perfect wardrobe for a day of discovery and a night of enchantment. And stay tuned for the Travel style guide coming soon on my Instagram & Youtube vlogs!
My picks for hats : I love a good raffia hat for places like the French Riviera – they're so breezy and chic, perfect for those long days exploring cute little towns. Not to mention hats have been a staple of French Riviera fashion for decades, making them synonymous with the glamorous lifestyle. Oh, and bonus points for a foldable one – you never know when adventure will strike!
My picks for bags: As I embarked on my French Riviera escapade, I needed the perfect bags to match the vibe. I grabbed a huge raffia tote for the beach – the one where you can fit everything from your sunscreen to a good book. For exploring the charming town, a cute crossbody bag is key for keeping your hands free for exploration. And for summer dinner, a playful bucket bag or sturdy handbag is a charming touch.
My picks for jewelry: The French Riviera is all about looking effortlessly chic, so your jewelry has to be pretty but also low-key. I adore the timeless harm of classic pearl drop earrings. Pastel gemstones effortlessly evoke the sunny spirit of the location. Plus, gold jewelry is a must! It just goes with everything and looks amazing in the golden hour.
A Modern Classic: Criss-Cross jeans
These are the jeans I've always dreamed of making: soft as butter, non-stretchy pure cotton, tomboy straight, high waist that accentuates the figure and subtle cheeky details. So far it's been with me through my travels, workday and everywhere that I need to feel confident (and sexy)!
"I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity, all I hope for in my clothes," Yves Saint Laurent
To style these jeans, his outfit strikes the perfect balance between casual and chic. A navy t-shirt provides a comfy base, while the criss-cross detailing on jeans adds a touch of trendy edge. To elevate the look even further, don't forget the statement earrings. The egg-shaped golden pair will instantly dress up your outfit, making it perfect for a day out or a casual evening gathering.
Hope you enjoy this modern classic as much as I do!
