I shared my latest outfit crush last week. This silky skirt and cashmere top. When I think of seasonal dressing, I always think, J.Crew. I’m a lover of their classics, enjoy an updated take on basics, and I love the versatility of their pieces. When in doubt, go with what you love and trust. Sharing Fall styles that are a must.

I’m so thankful for this all in slow Summer and the easy going planning of filling our days with errands, movies, baseball, lots of relaxing at home, swimming and some getaways. There is something so wonderful about getting up and not having to race around to get out the door. These slow days may be numbered, but until then we’ll be wrapping up Summer with that same carefree ease.

It got me thinking, what do I consider essential for my closet, what have I accomplished in curating a well worn closet thus far, so that I can always love what I wear.

We love to daydream about moving there one day, but for now, getting to visit and staycation is a treat. I’m packing my bag with summer essentials. We plan to sit pool and beach side all day long.

A relaxed backyard is ideal for those slow Summer days.

Creating a home that feels lived in, collected and special takes time. Our home has evolved with us. Our family has grown, I’ve found new sources of inspiration, and we’ve learned how to function in our space as our needs change. A home is always a work in progress, but not in a tedious sort of way, but to build upon your style and your interests. Finding beauty in corners of our home brings me joy

The school year is wrapping up quickly and within two weeks we’ll be in full Summer mode. I’m still catching my breath from “back-to-school”, but here we are. Usually months out, the planning frenzy of finding and securing a spot at Summer camps begins, as well as contemplating Summer school and vacation plans, all while making lists of home projects and how to keep the kids busy for almost three months. The pressure and endless activity options are overwhelming, so why not plan for a simple “let’s wing it” Summer.

A rotation of great dresses for the seasons ahead is a must. I have my tried-and-true pieces that I grab year after year. But, as I do a little closet Spring clean, I’m eyeing dresses that would be great to have on hand for any occasion. A good dress means everything, especially when you can’t wait to wear it again!
