#078: How to be devastatingly hot and cool, June '25
Peak summer, peak hotness.
We’re in peak summer and this is by far my favorite time of the year. Balmy nights in New York have been feeling real romantic and I have yet to have a run-in with a rat in an outfit I’m feeling myself in! There are sales on virtually every corner of the internet and flights to Italy cost less than a dinner out at a dumb small-plates-with-natural-wine restaurant in Manhattan. The farmer’s market is as abundant as ever and I always have fresh flowers in my home.
I turn 30 in less than a week and this season, much like life in general at this age, is moving so fast. Every day feels like a lesson in prioritizing what makes you feel the most beauty and joy. Summer, to me, has always been about beauty and in pursuit of more of it. Excitingly, I’ve found a renewed interest in creating content in the good old-fashioned way. Pinterest boards, nesting, snapping photos of everything, curating... And with dressing, it’s all very intuitive. I’m planning my outfits around easy hangouts with people I actually want to spend time with. (Sorry to all events. I want the invite, but I’m not coming!)
Being devastatingly hot and cool in the summer is easy. It’s in the effortlessness in how we get dressed, how comfortable we feel in our skin, and the ease in which we go about our day. It’s a time that is deeply rooted in intuition and discernment, which is truly the whole point of this mindset!
