Bag Spotlight: Pouches
When I think of pouch bags, it feels nostalgic, playful, effortless, easy to throw everything in, grab, and go. The ones I love most always have a little something extra. Tassels, cords, a hint of beading, a bright silk that feels almost too pretty to be practical, but somehow is.
They move easily between day and night without needing to be swapped out. The same bag works just as well earlier on as it does later.They’re also one of the easiest styles to travel with. They fold flat, take up almost no space, and slip easily into a larger tote or suitcase, something you can pull out later without thinking twice.
It’s that balance of ease and versatility, with just enough detail, that gives them staying power.

Barefoot in Bloom
Outfit Details: Julia Amory Dress, SPRWMN Bikini, Janessa Leone Hat, Amazon Sunglasses
Florals look different by the water than they do at a garden party. They get brighter, looser, sunnier — the kind of blooms that belong with bare feet and salt air. They show up embroidered on a caftan, covering a swimsuit, or crawling up a linen matching set.
I like to keep the styling light from there, leaning on pieces with natural texture to compliment the print or motif. A woven bag, a flat sandal, a piece of shell jewelry, an easy hair accessory.
It’s floral dressing with more freedom, made for sun-filled plans built around color, texture, and bare feet.

Retro Twist on Summer Dressing
Pucci Dress, Dries Van Noten Heels, Chanel Bag, Deszo Necklace
I’ve found myself naturally gravitating toward the glamour of 60s and 70s resort dressing, when vacation style felt more expressive and playful, tied to a more carefree way of getting dressed. Catching my eye are pieces with a retro twist that feels like a wink, not a full costume: Pucci-inspired prints and Etro-style paisleys, alongside crochet florals, boldly colored beads, and modular accessories. Together they channel that effortless allure in a way that feels nostalgic but still current, adding just enough character to make summer dressing more memorable.

Wedding Guest Dresses for a Tropical Setting
Outfit Details:
Rosie Assoulin Dress, Ferragamo Heels, Cordera Bag
Dressing for a tropical wedding weekend is its own kind of search. The right dress doesn’t always show up right away — it has to feel special enough to fit amongst the setting, joyful enough to honor the celebration, and light enough to actually work in the heat. A few different things have to land at once, and it’s worth taking the time to get them all right.
These are the guest dresses catching my eye for weekends where the backdrop is palm trees, sunset skies, and the sound of the ocean. Sunny yellows, citron sequins, shades of ocean blue, and sunset hues all feel right here. Printed silks and sheer capes earn their place too, elegant and considered without the weight of something that would leave you overheated by the first toast.
The best options feel polished enough for a special occasion while still holding onto that joyful, easy feeling a tropical destination naturally invokes.
