THE BEST OF PREFALL

The seasons are changing and we’re savoring the end of summer. From conversation-starting tableware and our favorite new print quarterly to energy-lifting perfume and new bingable TV, August is still about play. 

THE BEST SHOPPING

Fall is in the air, we are so excited. As we fantasize about fall fashion, we’re still layering our anklets, hosting outdoor dinner parties, and trying on new scents that channel fresh energy.   

TRENDING: GOLD + PEARL ANKLETS

We’ve found a lot to love from Atolea, but if you missed out on one of the hottest trends this season, their waterproof gold and pearl anklets styles are timeless and affordable. Summer-to-fall style still calls for above the ankle hems, meaning we plan to wear anklets all month long. 

ENERGY ALTERING PERFUME

TABLEWARE: CONVERSATION STARTERS

Gohar World, founded by sister duo Laila & Nadia Gohar, is a dreamy, surrealist, unexpected collection of table wares that are nothing if not memorable. From their Moroccan mouth-blown glassware to lemon squeezers to cake-shaped candles, get the conversation started at your next dinner party. Also the perfect place to find a gift for that cool friend. 

THE BEST READS

As we prepare for the summer-to-fall transition, there’s nothing like one more really good read or a dreamy quarterly print magazine to celebrate the end of summer. 

FAMILY STYLE, A QUARTERLY

We love Family Style! Co-created by fresh voices from iconic powerhouses like The New York Times and Vogue magazine, Family Style curates design, fashion, creativity, art—all the things we love to discover, wrapped in a beautiful, editorial print magazine. Released quarterly, check it out. 

BEST BOOKS OF 2025 (SO FAR)

Now past the halfway mark of 2025, we’re scanning this list of the best books of 2025 so far and eyeing a few at the top of our queue like Martha Beck’s non-fiction Beyond Anxiety  to satisfying, fast read All That Life Can Afford.

THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT

As we soak up the end of summer and countdown to new shows and fall activities, there is still plenty of entertainment to get us through August. 

TOO MUCH

Lena Dunham’s new show made the rounds on our slack channel—even if you didn’t love GIRLS, you’ll probably love this one. Get lost in London and fall in love with these unexpected, amazing characters. 

RECESS PICKLEBALL 

August is still time to play. If you haven’t jumped on the pickleball trend, now's the time.

BUCCANEERS

Buccaneers is kind of like Bridgerton, but with more Americans. It’s wholly entertaining with an excellent soundtrack, unforgettable costumes, and plenty of love triangles. Season 2 just dropped!
