As I sit here and look at photos from July, it both feels as if the 4th was just yesterday and as if it was months away. We left the day after for Europe and arrived home at the end of last week, and while I’d like to say we’ve been easing into life, we more or less jumped right back in where we left off: celebrations with the family, play dates, BBQs with friends, and a fun design meeting with the Beek team to chat about round 2 sandal collab for spring 2026 (date I say 2026????).

All of that to say, I hope everyone has been having a wonderful July… and start to their week.

Sharing a few fun moments from the month below… along with some easy summer outfits and bits and pieces I’ve found around the web lately….

(A quick check-up on the progress of the construction in Santa Barbara…. shorts, half zip)

(Wore these gingham shorts and top for an easy summer outfit…)

(4th of July fun…. pants, tank, sweater)

(Back home and back to the beach for Friday lunches… shorts, top, sweater)

(Weekend BBQ with friends…)

(Celebrating my sister’s birthday with lunch at Restoration Hardware… 10/10 recommend the Kale Chopped Caesar Salad)

My favorite barrel jeans, in the light wash color-way, are 50% off. I always go up a size, and order the 27″ inseam, and they fit perfectly.

Loving Vuori’s new arrivals. They updated their Villa pants (which I wear for all summer travels) to a sportier waistband and the navy color paired with this tee is so chic. These sport shorts have the same waistband and in the light french blue (with this sports bra) are great for the summer season. I also own this black and white double layered tank and it’s the best… love it with these workout dolphin hem shorts.

Wore this gingham scrunchie all throughout Europe…

How cute is this little skort from Quince??

My favorite maxi t-shirt dress was just released in a maxi sleeveless version. Can’t wait to try it.
