Cart Confidential Vol. 13
The warmth is finally here to stay — not the peak of summer yet, but just enough to shift how we dress, move, and gather. This week’s cart captures that in-between: sun-warmed days, a little more skin, and pieces that lean into the ease of early summer.
A natural raffia top that feels like it was made for golden hour
A fringe skirt that sways with every step
A knit halter top— sculptural, breezy, and unexpected
A wicker and leather cross-body bag for spontaneous days out
Woven espadrilles that go where the sun does
A sleeveless mint dress with a soft cinched wais
A pair of clear round sunnies to go with anything
A silk kaftan that slips easily between indoors and out
A floral ruffled maxi that feels like a warm breeze
A glittery strapless top for nights that last a little longer
For littles: a cotton dress for sun-chasing, floral Mary Jane sneakers, and ruffled socks they won’t tug off right away
For the home: stackable wicker trays for the home office, elegant wicker lounge chairs, and the Yeti carry-all that’s already been to the pool, the picnic, and back again
Early summer isn’t loud — but it’s full of promise, and everything here feels just right for it.
