Lioness’ Cool Denim isn’t just a reinvention of jeans — it’s a study in how detail can redefine a staple. With off-center button closures, exaggerated lines, and a sculptural drape, each pair turns everyday denim into a statement of intent. These pieces blur the boundary between casual and considered, proving that even the most familiar fabric can feel directional when cut with precision and confidence.
Imagine slipping into Vuori’s adorable new swim long sleeve set for a morning surf, then curling up in one of their ultra-soft hoodies after—come on!! Vuori nails it with color and fabric: rich, wearable tones, buttery-soft textures, and just the right dose of laid-back vintage cool. Their swim collection is functional, flattering, and seriously fun.
This strapless maxi stuns in a soft butter-yellow hue. With a ruched, curve-skimming bodice and a breezy semi-sheer skirt, it’s made for sun-drenched escapes and golden hour strolls. Pair it with gold hoops, strappy sandals, and a sculptural bag for effortless elegance.
This playful holiday set stands out with its one-of-a-kind sardine print—red and blue fish scattered across the fabric for a fun, seaside vibe. Red accents on the cuffs and pant hems add just the right pop of color. Perfect for a beach stroll or casual summer hangout, it pairs effortlessly with strappy sandals and a straw tote for that relaxed yet put-together holiday look. Bright summer statement pieces like this always deserve a spot in the wardrobe—easy, breezy, and impossible to miss.
A timeless silhouette with a touch of drama—knee-high cuffed boots instantly elevate any look. The extended shaft elongates the leg, while the soft, folded cuff adds effortless texture and a nod to vintage equestrian or 70s glam. Whether paired with a mini skirt, layered over jeans, or styled with an oversized coat, these boots bring structure, movement, and undeniable edge to your fall-to-winter rotation.
Effortless, grounded, and quietly refined—Australia’s take on barefoot luxury is all about embracing nature without sacrificing style. Think breezy linens, sun-washed silks, raw textures, and organic color palettes that mirror the landscape—sand, sea, and bush. It’s luxury without the fuss: slip-on sandals, oversized tailoring, handcrafted details, and a sense of ease that feels as at home on the beach as it does in a boutique resort. Less about logos, more about lifestyle—this is elevated minimalism with soul.
I’m loving a sleek look with a touch of flair—like we talked about a couple of weeks ago, chunky jewelry is in, and so are chunky loops and fasteners, from buttons and zippers to unique connectors. This piece blends elegance with a bold edge, creating a flattering shape that stands out. I’m currently sketching a few designs in this style, incorporating similar pops of metal on satin or silk fabrics.
Layering the same design in different fabrics with varied fasteners and product styles is absolutely gorgeous. I love the clean lines and the edgy vibe of this approach. These pieces can be worn together or separately, creating a range of looks. As discussed in this Article, during times of economic uncertainty, customers are often drawn to versatile pieces that aren’t limited to just one look in their closet or a single occasion. A piece that invites endless styling possibilities. Buying less and styling more.
Similar to the Etta Set by Retrofête, the strapless belt set from Sasha Therese is a fantastic design. It mixes a casually elegant white set with classic brown belts, producing a gorgeous look. I would love to see the sketch design process for this one!
I love how minimalism meets sensuality in the Rosalie Maxi Dress. The lightweight suiting fabric and tailored lines create a refined, form-fitting silhouette that skims the body beautifully. The halter-style neckline, with contrasting cord straps looping through a tortoiseshell ring, is such a striking detail—effortlessly highlighting the collarbone and shoulders. The bold binding detail across the bust adds just the right touch of edge. For me, this is the perfect understated statement dress to elevate any wardrobe.
I’ve been eyeing this set for a while. It’s continuously sold out—and no wonder! Knit sets are everywhere right now, and I absolutely love them. Dress it up with a pair of heels or keep it casual with flip flops for a picnic at the beach.
What else is in? Mixed materials—like denim and knit—are a combination people weren’t ready for but immediately consumed. This set has inspired some of my own designs: comfort with a flair, ready for a night out, a festival, a nice dinner, or a day at the museum. Throw on a blazer and heels, or keep it cool with sunnies and sandals. These mixed-material sets are as versatile as they are comfortable.

Chunky jewelry is bringing us straight back to the 80s — and I’m loving every second of it. But this time around, it’s showing up with a modern twist: mixing metals, layering textures, and combining everything from silver and gold to shell and resin. It’s bold, playful, and the perfect way to spice up your summer looks.
