Summer is in full swing, and as it settles in, fashion naturally leans toward a more relaxed, unfussy, and effortless aesthetic. With fewer events on the calendar, there’s less need to dress to the nines, but that doesn’t mean letting go of looking polished. A sun-kissed glow, a well-rested vibe, and a touch of chic are still very much the goals. Here are my current go-to favorites for the season, and beyond.
Monica Rich Kosann
Monica Rich Kosann’s delicate lockets add a subtle, personal accent to any look. Lightweight and refined, the brand’s collections are made to move with you, from sun-drenched afternoons to rooftop evenings. Whether you’re layering, mixing metals, or infusing meaning with signature charms, Kosann’s necklaces are the perfect foundation for creating summer-ready looks that feel uniquely your own.

Veronique Gabai
Veronique Gabai’s fragrances are rooted in nature and crafted with ethically sourced ingredients, boasting high concentrations that linger, revealing a nuanced depth over time. Sustainability is integral, from refillable packaging to responsibly chosen materials, each creation reflects a thoughtful commitment to longevity and ethical luxury. Inspired by the Mediterranean, the collection of fragrances invites you on a sensory journey to sun-soaked landscapes and vibrant botanicals. Among the lineup, and a personal favorite of mine, Délices des Bois recently won the “2025 Indie Fragrance of the Year” award from the Fragrance Foundation. With a scent to suit every personality, Veronique Gabai offers more than fragrance, it’s an experience.
