Every year I seem to run into the same recurring problem: last summer sandals have oh-so-sadly seen their last of days. And if your sandals are as well-loved (and well-worn) as mine, then you know the drill… it’s time to ditch last year’s shabby kicks and build out a new stock of summer flats. Since […]
Nothing’s better than settling into a sunny spot with an iced coffee and a good book in the summertime, am I right? The sheer act of making a summer reading list of all the books I want to read over the next 3 months feels like a physical reminder to make time to slow down […]
Everything you need when it’s 100 degrees.
photos by hannah haston Our Cinco de Mayo (pre)party was the first-ever fiesta at the bungalow, and it was a dreamy occasion. With a delicate combination of patina, Palo Santo, and good company, this gathering had a timeless and unforgettable feeling to it. As Cinco de Mayo approaches, so does the question, what (or where) […]
Collar? Optional. Sleeves? Take ’em or leave ’em. Buttons, however, are mandatory, and add to the laid back, easy appeal of this summer staple. Throw one over a suit for an impromptu splash, or pair with chunky heels for a dinner date. The beauty is that there’s no wrong time or place for a shirt […]
Swimsuit season brings a mild level of fear to almost everyone, but it can feel especially harsh if you suffer from spider veins. Like a lot of common skin conditions, spider veins are more embarrassing than they are dangerous or unhealthy. That said, it’s important to consult with an experienced physician before treating your legs. Camille’s […]
Editor’s Note: This recipe was brought to us by Alison Wu. She recently hosted us for a health-inspired brunch at her Portland home, and we’ve been obsessed with her Instagram account for quite some time — I mean, have you seen her layered smoothies?! #goals Today, Alison is sharing with us her go-to recipe for a summer […]
There’s nothing I love more than hanging by the pool at my apartment complex. This time of year, we’ll often set up shop out there early in the afternoon and camp out until long after dinner time, enjoying wine, beer, and freshly grilled food for hours. The only issue? Our building, like all public pools, has […]
In an ideal world, we’d all start the day with a sweat session (and maybe a make-out) that left our faces glowing with the rosiness of freshness and youth. If you’re like me however, most mornings the flush is found with a little well-placed blush swirled on the apples of my cheeks, and my beauty […]
My desert island beauty product (as in, I only get to bring one) would have to be body lotion. The mere thought of getting out of the shower and not slathering it from head to toe makes me cringe, but just try putting on one of the watery trial sizes in a hotel bathroom and you’ll […]
If there’s one culinary lesson I learned from our trip to Tuscany, it’s that the simplest dishes are often the best. Of course, when you’re working with a tiny ingredient list, a recipe is only as good as the quality of those ingredients, so the time to make this spaghetti dinner is when tomatoes are practically […]
In our fantasies, summer is a romantic, glamorous season, filled with long, golden days and not a cloud in sight. Our limbs are tan and glowing, our hair tumbles in mermaid waves, and there’s never, ever a mosquito or the presence of sweat-inducing humidity. The reality? Not so much. Yes, summer is glorious, but it […]
