If summer had a mood board, this would be it. From the tunes to the trends and the matcha living rent-free in our heads, these are the little things (and big obsessions) shaping our season. In no particular order, here’s what’s made the list.

1. A Summer Playlist

Every season needs a soundtrack. Whether you're heading to the beach, road-tripping up the coast, or simply making dinner with the windows open, a good playlist sets the tone.

2. The Perfect Suit (It Does Exist)

Also struggling to find a swimsuit you don’t dread putting on? Hear us when we say this (again): Hunza G’s suits are the ones you will never regret buying. They’ve somehow woven magic into their iconic crinkle fabric.

3. Strawberry Shortcake Matcha from @reinnesplace

We're calling it the drink of the summer. Equal parts refreshing and indulgent, this strawberry-infused matcha with its strawberry crumble garnish is all we can think about until we get another.

4. Packable Bucket Hats

A great hat is both practical and transformative. Minga's handcrafted styles make throwing a hat in your bag—from daily purse and beach bag to suitcase—easier than ever.

5. Longer Shorter Hems

Long shorts have taken on a whole new meaning this summer, and we’re here for it. From denim to linen and more, we love their versatility and laid-back appeal.

6. Summer Skin MVP

If you’ve struggled to find a daily SPF you don’t dread putting on, consider your hunt over. The Vacation Crystal SPF 50 Face Gel goes on clear, has a silky feel on your skin, and layers effortlessly under makeup.

7. A Good Summer Read

There's no better excuse to slow down than getting lost in a book. Now’s the perfect time to reach for that book you’ve been meaning to read, or add to your collection.

8. A Scent That Feels Like a Vacay

When you can't get away, lighting a candle that smells like paradise is the next best thing. With notes of tropical fruit, ocean air, and sunny afternoons, it’s like a one-way ticket to island time. 

9. Sandals, Elevated

Part beach, part night out. Flip flop style sandals have officially made their return, adding just enough height to elevate everything from linen pants to easy dresses.

10. A Recipe You’ll Make on Repeat

It’s officially pasta salad season, and this Spring Caesar Pasta Salad from Molly Baz is one you’ll become easily hooked on—especially since it doesn’t require turning on the oven.
