My Dream Summer Edit

June 25, 2026 · In: Interior Design

I love Summer and there’s a certain kind I’m always chasing—the quiet, sophisticated kind. Less tropical-loud, more effortless and well-traveled. This mood board is exactly that feeling, all in one place.

You’ll notice I kept the whole thing to black and cream against a soft beige, and that restraint is the entire point. No bright colors, no beachy clichés—just high-contrast neutrals that feel polished and intentional. Instead of lots of color I’m creating interest with patterns and texture. We’ve got a gorgeous raffia tote, woven leather sandals, linen trousers, the fluffiest Mongolian shearling chair, and a scalloped eyelet cami that begs to be touched.

This is organic modern dressed for the season. Sculptural, tactile pieces—that black sculpture, the little scallop shell—sit right beside clean, modern lines like the chrome-framed chair and that sleek black swimsuit. Soft against structured. Calm against cool. It’s that contrast and combination of the two that I CANNOT get enough of!

This is my summer look. It’s calm, confident and tactile…..the kind of look you want to live in all Summer! Click below to shop more of my summer favorites!

Guys!!! I’ve never had so much fun putting together my home (& so many of my clients and friends!) This modern cottage style has ended up being the perfect blend that has all the cozy vibes we all crave but still has that modern edge that makes you just say, “whoa! Hey, hey! What is this??! I get to live here??!!!” Yesssss!!!! You can create your dream on any budget! So many of these finds are insanely budget friendly with a few splurges mixed in (because every now and then you need to treat yo self!!) 

Love you guys!!! XxV
Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!! Comment T Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!!

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours! Yipppeeeee!!!!!
