The Summer Solstice officially arrived last week, and with it, what feels like a whole new zest for life. I don’t know about you, but I can’t help but feel reinvigorated by the change of seasons, especially as we head into the summertime. As someone who’s deeply inspired and moved by her environment—including everything from the clothes hanging in my wardrobe to the books and colors adorning my tables and walls—this ever-present transition from spring into summer ignites a whole new level of excitement for me. Do tell: Is the warmer weather bringing a new wave of inspiration into your world, too? If not, allow this post to be your guiding light!

With all this newfound and somewhat seasonal invigoration, I’ve amassed quite the list of items to delight my eyes and heart for weeks (read: months!) to come. And what good is all this beauty and inspiration if not shared?

So, I’ve coalesced everything I’m loving this month into a comprehensive list that you can find (and shop!) below. It covers four main categories that rule my world: Clothing + Accessories, Beauty, Home and Books. The items are fun, colorful (because what would a post in this space be without a little color!), light, playful, classic and chic, with a hint of self-love, all to celebrate the warmer months of summer ahead. Whether you’re headed out on a much-needed vacation or opting instead for an intimate staycation indoors, these items are sure to encourage you to feel your best this season and beyond! Get the inside scoop on my picks + shop the entire post, below. I’d love to hear what you’re loving this season, too! If you feel so inclined, leave me a comment below or shoot me a DM on Instagram, so we can share all our favorites.

Clothing + Accessories

This summer for me is all about fun prints and bold colors in my wardrobe, with a few classic pieces mixed in to round things out. Give me all the neon green and hot pink! As far as the items themselves are concerned, I’m especially loving cut off shorts, sneakers and distressed denim, breathable linen dresses and separates, rectangular sunnies and straw hats for the pool!

Beauty

My beauty picks this month include everything from holy grail face oil to keep skin plump and moisturized to my favorite tinted BB cream that has built-in SPF coverage and is non-toxic and vegan! Gua Sha has been a staple part of my morning ritual for helping with lymphatic drainage and de-puffing and firming skin, so I also wanted to include my go-to tool as well. Finally, I sleep so much better throughout the night if I'm blocking out all light with a silk sleep mask.

Home + Books

My home is my sanctuary, and this season, I’m all about filling it with beautiful items to delight and inspire. Specifically, I’m looking at glass bowls to hold my sacred trinkets (think: matches, lip gloss, jewelry, crystals and more), curvy, minimal sectional sofas in powder-pink, natural rattan dining chairs with a clean white frame, chic and sleek plant stands to glam-up your houseplants, and a no-fail geometric printed area rug. Some of these I’m adding to cart now, others are just a bit of candy for the eyes! Also, would you LOOK at that vintage-inspired caged rattan vanity and stool set? Why not add a little something to your space to make getting ready that much more fun?

This month’s book loves are all about self-care, and they are POWERFUL. My picks include a manual on the health-promoting properties of lymphatic massage with illustrated, self-massage sequences and a book on body love, making the radical decision to love every facet of ourselves, something we can carry into summer and beyond!
