A look back at what I loved, bought, wore, read, listened to, and where we wandered this summer.

Well, friends, it has been a season. If you have been following along, you know I do not say that lightly — this was one of the busiest, fullest stretches I can remember, four trips deep since the Fourth of July alone. Consider this edition part travel recap, part shopping diary, part everything I currently cannot stop thinking about.

Four trips since the Fourth of July — Cashiers for the holiday, Paris for a sewing class with my daughter, a Silversea cruise through Spain, France, and Sardinia with the whole family, and the LTK Conference in Texas. A true whirlwind, and I have full recaps coming on both Paris and Silversea. For now, on to the finds.

Fall is clearly on my mind across every cart and wishlist right now — rich suede, leopard and snake print, tiger knits, and the kind of statement jacket that makes an entire outfit. I am mixing a few investment pieces in with easy basics, rounding it out with travel essentials from four trips in two months, and throwing in the usual beauty, home, and mini-me finds along the way. Everything is coming your way, piece by piece.
