AUGUST NOTES

AUGUST NOTES

August ushers in the bittersweet embrace of summer’s final days, where the sun’s warm rays linger just a bit longer, and each light-filled hour is a moment to be savored. As we relish the tail end of the season, there’s a gentle nostalgia in the air—a longing for the lazy, sun-soaked days that are slowly giving way to the structured rhythm of fall. Yet with back to school season around the corner, there’s also a stirring excitement in the air as we prepare to step back into familiar routines post summer break.

This month, we find ourselves drawn to the classic, preppy aesthetic that perfectly captures the essence of August. Think timeless stripes, crisp linens, and accessories that nod to the iconic collegiate style, all while maintaining an air of effortless sophistication. Whether it’s a well-worn statement loafer or a classic cardigan for cool evening strolls, our August roundup celebrates the blend of casual cool and polished practicality that defines this transitional time of the year.

Our homes, too, reflect this duality—spaces that still welcome alfresco dinners under the fading summer light, yet begin to ground themselves in preparation for the season ahead. We’re cherishing these final sun-lit evening gatherings with family and friends, where the table is set with rustic yet refined pieces that echo the warmth of summer as we ready ourselves for what’s next.
