MAY NOTES

May arrives with a nostalgic nod to the classic 60's beach culture, channeling the carefree elegance of Hamptons-inspired coastal living. This month, we're draping our spaces in girlish charm, adorning them with delicate ruffles and artisanal woven accents that are reminiscent of sandy walks and seaside sunsets. The air is thick with the scent of salt and blooming hydrangeas, setting the perfect scene for soft linens and flowing silhouettes that capture the essence of a vintage beach getaway.

For many, especially moms planning their family's summer adventures, May marks the transition from the structured rhythms of school to the spontaneous melodies of summer. It's about sketching out those sun-drenched days ahead, whether they're spent lounging by a Montecito pool or exploring quaint coastal towns. One of our favorite poolside indulgences is our May Day Cocktail, a refreshing blend of gin and elderflower liqueur garnished with edible flowers and mint. Our curated picks this month reflect this shift, with each piece selected to evoke a sense of relaxed luxury and effortless hosting, mirroring the understated opulence of the West Coast's most cherished retreats.

In this season of planning and transition, we are embracing the charming sophistication of vintage waterfront vibes infused with modern sensibilities. May invites us to prepare our homes and wardrobes for the bright, buoyant days of summer—days filled with the promise of golden afternoons and cool, starlit evenings. Let's revel in the anticipation, readying ourselves and our spaces for the seasonal delights that lie just on the horizon.
