The Couture Chronicles

June is here, and summer is starting to settle in. The days feel lighter, the pace slows down just a bit, and everything starts to shift into that warm-weather rhythm. These are a few of my early summer essentials—little pieces that make the season feel a bit more effortless and enjoyable.

LL Bean Boat and Tote: A forever classic. Whether you’re headed to the beach, the farmer’s market, or just carrying too much around the city, this tote holds everything and still looks chic and put together.

ST TROPEZ Express Tan: For the days when the sun hasn’t quite caught up with your plans—this gives you that subtle, even glow in just a few hours without the UV commitment.

Colorful Silk Scarves: Tied around your neck, in your hair, or on your bag—silk scarves add just the right amount of personality to any summer outfit.

Polka Dots: They somehow feel nostalgic and fresh at the same time—an easy print to lean into when you want your summer wardrobe to feel a little more playful. I’m especially into polka dot bikinis right now; they hit that perfect balance between retro and cute.

Hair Jewelry: Not just for weddings and Pinterest boards—these fun hair accessories instantly elevate a simple bun or ponytail and are super quick and easy to use.

Steve Madden Sandals: Simple, minimal, and surprisingly comfortable—these are the kind of sandals you end up wearing with everything from linen pants to swimsuits.

Pink Clay Face Mask: This has been my favorite face mask forever! It brightens your skin and enhances your natural glow by cleansing your pores and leaving you with a smooth, refreshed complexion every time-perfect for the summer season.

Tru Fru: We all know and love this sweet treat all year round, but the summer especially is the perfect time of year for these—frozen, fruity, and perfectly bite-sized, they’re the ideal poolside or post-dinner snack.

Elf Eyebrow Pencil: I have said it before and I’ll say it again this is one of my all-time favorite products and its so easy to use when and wherever!

Oscar de la Renta Bella Rosa Perfume: A sweet, floral scent with just the right amount of warmth—perfect for everyday wear that feels polished without being overpowering.

Just a few favorites that are making these early summer days feel that much better. Here’s to easy, good vibes all season long.
