July calls for ease. Our hair has found its summer shape, we’ve stopped asking what day it is and our morning routine is down to five minutes. Bronzer, brows—check. Red feels good right now: cheeks, nails, maybe a glazed lip that’s playful and confident. 

June calls for a softer touch. There’s something about this stretch of the season just before summer peaks that invites us to linger a little longer. Right now, we’re drawn to pieces that feel sheer and weightless, with delicate details that whisper instead of shout. Think mesh textures, lace trims, and light filtering through pale florals.

It’s the month where everything starts to hum with energy. Think: vintage sports cars zipping along the Côte d’Azur, striped umbrellas on the sand, and a well-placed rug underfoot in a coastal villa layered with old-world charm.

As the days lengthen and the spirit of Spring renews, we find ourselves drawn outdoors, eager to shake off the last vestiges of winter. It’s the perfect time to transition our wardrobes to lighter layers– embracing hues of butter yellow along with accents of the subtle, warm shine of gold jewelry.
