Why not focus on the small things? From those small things bringing me joy right now like from summer bags and brand partnerships to planning a summer at home that still feels full, fun, and intentional.

I have a new Summer Side Quest series I’m going to start over on IG, a low-pressure way to romanticize summer without needing big plans, big budgets, or a Euro vacation. Think spray parks, new books, Slurpees, beach days, family traditions, and finding tiny ways to make regular life feel a little more alive.
