AUGUST MUSTS

AUGUST MUSTS

In my world—where linen meets lived-in luxury, and rooms are meant to feel like warm embraces—this is the season I adore most. Think: cashmere instead of cotton, candlelight instead of sunlight, and layers—everywhere.

Needless to say, welcome to August Autumnal Musts: my carefully edited shopping guide to ease you, ever so gracefully, into fall. Hot tip? crack your windows just enough, hit play on a soundtrack of soft jazz or maybe just the simple magic of rain.


SLIP INTO AUTUMN

Slouchy, silky, deliberate. Like Sunday morning butter...but better?

Her aesthetic is equal parts undone and impeccably considered. Think bias-cut silks under oversized coats, worn-in kits, drapery that flirts with movement..

  • At home: Low lighting, homemade native Marionberry Jam and a vintage mirror that reflects candlelight more than her own reflection.

  • On her: A slip dress worn like armor, a perfectly patina’d boot, and outerwear with the energy of a blanket but the cut of couture.

  • She buys: Vintage glassware, sculptural necklaces like low-hanging fruit, and a new robe she’ll insist is “just for the house” but wears to brunch anyway.

LAYERED LOOKS, LIVED IN

Effort that doesn’t feel effortful. Every piece with a past.

She’s not dressing for anyone but herself—and it shows. Her interiors are built like her outfits: layered, relaxed, but deeply intentional. A rolled arm sofa with a vintage quilt. A ceramic mug she made in a workshop in Maine. Fall, for her, is tactile. Earthy. Honest.

  • At home: Lived-in leather, books stacked like sculpture. A space that smells like fig and sandalwood and never tries too hard.

  • On her: Cardigans on top of button-downs on top of thermal knits and maybe a silk number. Washed denim, socks, and a scarf she found at a flea market in Florence.

  • She buys: Handmade anything, oversized scarves, and a barn jacket she swears will last a lifetime (and honestly, it will).
