Only a few weeks left of Summer and everyone we know is escaping the city for long weekends by ponds and pools!

Books on the beach, long runs in the morning, naps in the shade, trips to the ice cream parlor and a cheeky G&T as the sun sets — these are what Summers are made of.

We hope your Summer has been perfectly sweet and that it’s given you what we all look for during these hot, sticky months — a moment to relax.

If this post finds you lazily scrolling through your morning reads with a cup of coffee by your side and a relaxing weekend to look forward to, then we offer you a few of our favorite things.  Happy reading, listening, eating, drinking, watching, wearing and enjoying!
