Hello girls! Happy June! Now that summer’s here, I’m spending more time in Bridgehampton and working on getting into that sort of laid-back summer state of mind. I have to admit, summer isn’t my favorite season – it’s too hot and humid for me. However, there are parts of summer that I enjoy and being prepared for the season always makes me feel better. Whether you’re into summer or not, you can’t survive the season without must-haves.
And darling – summer must-haves are not just clothes. Your summer must-have could be your favorite stripy beach chair, a very well-functioning central air system (good AC = MAJOR), or it might be your gorgeous barbecue dinnerware with those cute little lobsters.
Right behind air conditioning, my summer must-haves are without a doubt my boys – Harry and Dean. They love being outside more than anything else in the world, so they are in heaven when we're in Bridgehampton.

From days by the pool to sunset walks, summer is their favorite. Seeing them so happy is wonderful and let’s be honest – they get so tired from running around all day, that they are not nearly as mischievous!

This year, I want you to have everything you need to look and feel gorgeous, which is why my new TSV is here at the perfect time. I couldn’t be happier to kick off this month with my new Short Sleeve Peplum Top.
We did a Peplum style last fall and you LOVED it, so I wanted to bring it back but in a version that's perfect for warmer weather.
Four words: This. Shape. Is. Divine. Seriously, a tailored Peplum looks good on everyone. The structure of this top will literally give you the best, most flattering shape ever – it doesn’t matter if you’re a size 2 or a size 20!
The fabric drapes SO well and the weight is just right – it’s not too heavy but it’s also not sheer or clingy. And the best part? It literally FEELS like a sweatshirt but gives you the elevated look of a couture piece. This top makes it easy to look elegant and incredible.
You’re going to be so obsessed with this that when summer’s over, you won’t be ready to stop wearing it so when I picked out colors, I included two all-season options – Teal Green and Green Olive. The Black, Cream, and Royal Navy are your staples. They’re perfect for right now and they go with everything you already have. Of course, I had to add a bright, brilliant Bijou Pink because nothing is more fabulous than pink!
The stunning shape of this top makes it the perfect match for a skinny pant. I also love how it looks with printed pants – you could do gingham, plaid, or even a fun floral.
For a casual daytime look, wear this with skinny white pants and your favorite denim jacket. If you need a more refined nighttime look, I would pair the Black with a striking jacquard jacket. For the office, just add a statement necklace – this neckline looks divine with a big, bold necklace!
I want to hear all about all the exciting things you have planned for this season and you have to fill me in on your summer must-haves. Keep me updated and in the comments below!
See you soon dolls!
