with memorial day holiday just around the corner (how is it next weekend, already!?), i guess i’m taking summer pretty seriously for this week’s roundup of new & noteworthy. i’ve found some fun for under the sun and some very colorful ways to enjoy the warm, sunny months ahead. enjoy!
1. ban.do’s all round giant circle towel is huge — like your whole crew can hang out on it with room to spare. and it’s got super cute pom poms, and could easily double as a super cute picnic blanket. this blanket definitely says summer is on!
2. nothing could say summer more than these Bead and raffia earrings in brilliant peony from j.crew. they kinda just scream “hey, backyard barbeque!”; 3. heading out on a summer holiday? be sure and take ban.do’s getaway travel pillow along for the airplane ride so you can rest up and arrive ready to relax; 4. i’m really loving schoolhouse electric’s very nostalgic ode to chenille with their new Popcorn Grid Coverlet in Tangerine. looks so cozy and lounge-worthy and just perfect for an afternoon of lazy summer reading; 5. the last straw you’ll ever need — beautiful glass straws from food52, these pretties are made from sturdy borosilicate glass and longer-lasting than their plastic counterparts. They’ll tinkle and clink melodiously in your juice (or margarita!) glass, and can go in the dishwasher between happy hours.
6. Inspired by the desert modern architecture and landscape of Ace Hotel Palm Springs, this lightweight organic Indian cotton robe from block shop is a tribute to the art of lounging in the Mojave sun. and, it’s Hand block printed by 5th generation master printers in Bagru.
7. you love her for her amazing design sensibilities (london’s sketch, anyone?) and now india mahdavi is making us furniture. perfect for extra summer soiree seating, i love these pastel woven afro chairs; 8. the Big Baggu with it’s cheerful grapefruit print is a seriously huge shopping bag or a chic slouchy tote. Perfect for travel, beach time and farmer’s market shopping trips; 9. this Beach Brella Las Brisas is a colorful and festive beach umbrella that features a bohemian serape-inspired pattern trimmed with chic, bouncy fringe, but this one of a kind luxury beach umbrella is also 100% UV sun protective, too!
10. embroidery artist Caroline Van Natta’s limited edition designs are so uniquely beautiful and her one of a kind rosa in yellow embroidery piece is so bright and cheerful — all machine embroidered on soft cotton handmade paper — the perfect hanging to brighten up your summer home!
11. clare v. always nails the ideal summer clutch, and her latest is a nod to the playful French sayings — Le Freak C’est Chic bag is on my wish list.
12. you’ll be the bell of the barbeque ball in anthropologie’s adorable Cassidy Apron. add shorts, tank top and flip-flops for a spot on summer entertaining outfit.
