Making the most out of summer means striking that perfect balance between work and play. There is definitely an art to relaxation but when you get to spend your season spending time with family exploring new and familiar places together, that leisurely state of mind comes a bit easier! As we make our way into July, I couldn’t be more excited to savor the second half of our EU trip (stay tuned next month for my trip recap and highlights!) and plan for all the amazing Jersey Shore excursions we’ll enjoy upon our return. 

There’s something about spending time at the shore that makes you reminisce about old school summers. From the pastimes and food, to the music, movies and state of mind, these warmer months always encourage me to take a step back, reflect and relax. This weather is ideal for taking long walks, waking up early and enjoying more time with myself, close friends and family. 

Hear from our contributing writer, Olivia Muenter, on some of the small ways she makes her wardrobe more sustainable - you’re sure to be inspired to tackle your own!

I grew up in a very sustainable home, and it’s always been a natural part of who I am. Dealing with the compost, having an outhouse, and having to rush home every day so my mom could milk our herd of goats was a bit of a drag (it was the 80’s and everyone else had cable TV and Barbies!). But these days, I have so much appreciation for learning about how to make do with less, and take care with what you already have. The past few years, I have jumped head first into learning as much as I can about sustainability. 

This month I’m focused on basking in the warmth of the sun, planning my upcoming trip to Europe, and starting to learn new summer hobbies. 

I couldn’t be more excited to enter this new season. Spring is the perfect time to reset and refresh, and there is such optimism in the air. I’m looking forward to making the most of the longer days and warmer weather. Here are my intentions for the next few months. 

This month I’m focused on finding ways to spend more time outside, enjoy fresh produce, and destress from an extremely busy work season. Add in some small fashion upgrades, bright cocktails and a little magical realism, and you have my picks for March! Read on to see what I’m loving.
