Happy Friday! We are heading to Florida with friends for a fun country concert. I’m hoping to enjoy some sun, good food and great music. Have a wonderful weekend with you and yours!

Ali Pew
I’m very late to the game, but I recently discovered Ali Pew and I am enamored. She is impossibly chic, wears a ton of black, and makes me feel sane for taking a uniform approach to dressing. There are so many chic women on Instagram, but she stood out to me. I’m looking forward to seeing if her uniform changes after welcoming her little one at the end of the summer.

The Beach Bag, Continued
It’s been a few summers, and I still haven’t found the beach bag I’m looking for. My L.L. Bean tote is durable, simple and chic, but I have been craving something a bit more luxe. A few considerations are Viktorija Jasevice’s Celine tote, the Loewe basket bag, the DeMellier Santorini bag, or the J. Crew straw tote (all options preferable with black trim).

Morning Routines
For far too long, I was waking up at the same time as my son, taking care of his needs, and then diving directly into work. Lately I’ve been making much more of an effort to wake up early for some “me” time; it has an incredible impact on the tone of the day. Ideally, I’ll throw on some eye masks, ice roll, write in my journal, enjoy my matcha and then step outside for a few laps around the neighborhood with a good podcast. What are your morning routines?
Le Weekend LXXXV
The way the holiday falls this year, most of us have a nice four-day weekend to celebrate the Fourth. We have plans on the lake, some pool time and barbecues with loved ones. This Ralph Lauren sweater seems to be everywhere this year and it will definitely stand the test of time. I’ve heard good things about this alternative. Enjoy!
Fourth of July IV
Olivia Culpo’s Bridal Style
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey tied the knot this past weekend with a traditional wedding in her home state of Rhode Island. The traditional dress designed by Dolce & Gabbana for the ceremony is breathtakingly beautiful in it’s simplicity. The dinner reception was “a combination of old-school elegance and lush garden florals.” See the full wedding album on Vogue.

Lots of Linen
Linen is a summertime favorite fabric and it seems to be incredibly abundant this year. I nabbed these shorts and matching button down in navy and it’s perfect for working from home, running errands, or a walk around the neighborhood. I typically gravitate toward navy or white for the patriotic holidays, but I grabbed this muted red dress for the Fourth festivities and I am very impressed with the quality. The dress is nowhere near as long as it looks; I’m five feet tall and it hits an inch above my ankle.
Out East
There has always been great shopping in The Hamptons, but there have been a few recent additions that have the fashion world talking. Most notably, The Row opened on Main Street in Amagansett, which is only their fourth physical storefront. Khaite has a location in East Hampton that’s worth a visit. Let me know if you make a trip, and if any purchases are made.
