sunshine daydreams

There are certain moments that beg to be bottled—when the sun is warm enough to lull you poolside at Colombe d'Or, but not quite hot enough to stretch out on a chaise lounge. The air is laced with just enough orange blossom to make you pause mid-thought and drift toward an open window, breathing in spring properly. However, if you're anything like me, that’s when the rigorous mental gymnastics begin: plotting how to be in this exact spot come summer and packing my suitcase piece-by-piece with the kind of meticulous focus usually reserved for spreadsheets. While that moment can’t be bottled, it was captured—above and below—in the South of France, earlier this week. Merci beaucoup! Also very conveniently for me, Net-A-Porter just launched a tightly edited collection of summertime pieces that feel made for this exact kind of daydream—effortless, elegant, and ready for warm-weather wherever. So here's what is coming with: these embellished Gianvito Rossi embellished shoes, this puff-sleeved Aje perfection, this macrame and tulle Zimmermann, this statement-making Cult Gaia clutch, and this Farm Rio print skirt.
