The Little Things Making My Summer So Much Sweeter
Some seasons call for big changes—but summer? Summer is when the little things shine brightest. A new candle that smells like vacation. An outfit that just works. A simple morning ritual that sets the tone for the whole day.
If you’ve been craving a little more joy lately, here are a few of my personal favorites that have made this summer feel especially sweet—and maybe one or two will inspire your days, too.
The Little Things Making My Summer So Much Sweeter
My Everyday Tote
I’ve been using this embroidered waterproof tote from Mark & Graham nonstop. It’s roomy, lightweight, and easy to clean (a must in the summer). The monogram makes it feel extra personal.
→ Tip: Choose a fun color or add a coastal monogram—it’s such an easy way to elevate your everyday look.
A Candle That Smells Like a Dreamy Coastal Escape
Right now, I’m loving the Capri Hotel Lobby Candle—it smells exactly like a dreamy boutique hotel by the sea. It’s light, fresh, and instantly makes my home feel polished and elevated, even on ordinary days.
→ Why I love it: The scent lingers in the best way and adds a little luxury to my daily routine.
→ Tip: Light it while you’re tidying up or sipping your afternoon coffee—it turns a simple moment into a treat.
A Book That Feels Like a Treat
I picked up a new read at Mitchell’s Book Corner on Nantucket and it’s been the perfect slow-summer escape.
→ Need a rec? Try something light, beachy, or romantic—whatever fills your creative cup and helps you unplug.
My Morning Walks with Goldie
Starting the day with a quiet walk—before emails, before the to-do list—is the best thing I’ve done for my mindset.
→ Your version: Maybe it’s a solo walk, maybe it’s coffee on the porch.
My No-Fail Summer Outfit Formula
White jeans + a cute polo + sandals = done. It’s been my go-to this season. Add a raffia tote and sunglasses, and you’re ready for everything from errands to casual dinners.
→ Try this formula: Start with one pair of white jeans you love and build a few easy looks around them. You’ll always feel pulled together without overthinking it.
