June marks a shift — school ends, bags start to fill, and the first true stretch of summer begins. There’s a familiar mix of anticipation and chaos in the air: tying up loose ends at home, getting organized for travel, and navigating the overlap between work and downtime. We’re leaning into it all, prepping for a long-awaited trip while wrapping up some meaningful behind-the-scenes work.
What We’re Doing
School is out, and we’re heading into our first adventure of the season: a summer trip to Greece. We’ll be away for a little over three weeks, staying on three islands — Paros, Mykonos, and Spetses — with a villa on each, ending the trip at Amanzoe, a destination we’ve both been wanting to experience for years.
Before we leave, there’s a lot in motion. We’re finalizing the last pieces of the new JB website — something that’s been quietly in progress for months and is finally coming together in a way that feels just right.
Thomas and I are also investing in a new company that we believe has real purpose and potential. At the same time, we’re beginning to develop a couple of early-stage tech projects — one to support how I work day-to-day, and one that might evolve into something we share more broadly down the road.
I haven’t watched much TV this year (I’m usually reading and in bed early), but I recently started Sirens on Netflix and it’s surprisingly good. Light and a little offbeat — just enough to keep me watching without pulling me too far in.
The other thing filling my days: packing. So much packing. A few pieces already in my suitcase:
This tassel terry set (top)
This tassel terry set (shorts)
This turquoise bikini
These Dinosaur Design bracelets
Pucci favorites:
Halter top
Mini skirt
One piece
Emporio Sirenuse pieces:
Top
Trousers
For the girls, I’ve packed:
Blue & white floral one piece
Crochet trim white pants
Smocked rainbow dress
Sweet blue dress
Turquoise one piece
I’m hosting jewelry designer Arielle Ratner in Charleston this week, which came about while working on a custom piece together — my first from her collection. Her work is thoughtful, sculptural, but still wearable for the everyday.
I’ve ordered Sakara to simplify meals during this stretch before we travel. It always feels like a quiet luxury to have it in the fridge — especially on packed days. Use my code JULIABSAKARA for 20% off.
What I’m Wearing
I’ve been wearing this SET workout set on repeat. I’ve been very consistent with my workouts — five to six times a week, and at this point, I need to order another set because I’m washing and rewearing it constantly:
SET top
SET bottoms
I’m bringing my blue and white Valentino tote to Greece — it’ll be my carry-all bag all summer. I also love this similar Sezane version that’s under $200.
A few other pieces I’ve been reaching for lately:
White tie-front top that I plan on styling with easy linen pants this summer
These Le Monde Beryl wedge mules that I’ve worn recently here: 5.30 and 5.29
Sunglasses that I get asked about all the time.
Attersee shirt — I searched for the right ivory button-down for months and this one is truly perfect
What I’m Buying
This chic maxi dress for summer
These turquoise tassel earrings
My go-to concealer in Yucca — I’ve used it for years and just ordered a few to keep in my summer makeup bag
This beauty matcha — easy to travel with and blends perfectly with almond or coconut milk
North Woods — I’m bringing this book with me in hopes of finding a few quiet windows to read
I pre-ordered this Alemais top and skirt — I love the color and embroidery
I also pre-ordered these rainbow-detailed loafers — deconstructed and fun but wearable
These inexpensive jelly shoes will come in handy for rocky beach days in Greece
I ordered this Hart choker and this fish chain — playful but simple enough to layer in with other pieces
What I’m Eyeing
This Bottega Veneta jute mini bag has stayed on my wishlist — I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but it feels like one of those pieces I’d use again and again
NASA recently released a series of images of Jupiter’s Moon 10 — this one in particular is so stunning it looks painted
Matteau has some beautiful new arrivals for summer:
Green and white printed dress
Black strapless broderie dress
Bikini top
Bikini bottoms
Jessica McCormack’s “Fruit Salad” collection — playful, colorful, and completely unique
This Fendi fish bag — fun, weird, and the perfect quirky for summer
This Alaïa knit dress — sleek, sculptural, and such a standout piece
I recently discovered Monies, a jewelry site filled with sculptural, one-of-a-kind pieces that feel more like wearable art than accessories
