Summer School – Susan’s Picks

Summer for me is taking our boat out on a lake nearby with family and friends and reading a great novel! In this chaotic and busy world, embracing the soothing colors, textures and serenity of beautiful landscapes bring me a sense of serenity. (Maker Hotel – great place to stay in the breathtaking Hudson Valley).

Home entertaining has increased for all of us since the pandemic and a summer barbeque is my favorite thing to enjoy with friends.  The tremendous amount of inspiration for outdoor living spaces has brought an upgrading of our deck and, my favorite spot, the front porch! (Join the Book of the Month Club for great reading throughout the year).”

Summer School – Riann’s Picks

After a long Michigan winter, summer for me is all about being outdoors – sunshine (don’t forget the sunscreen and hat) adventure and travel as a necessity to recharge and reinspire.

Getting out of my comfort zone and experiencing new spaces and places is always my key source of inspiration and for Summer 2023, I’m looking to the French Riviera.

While for some this might conjure thoughts of turquoise waters, brightly striped beach umbrellas and towels stretching for miles and glamourous, flashy Cannes, I instead find myself drawn to the sun-faded old towns, imperfect cobblestone narrow lanes growing wild with bougainvillea and hikes alongside rugged coastlines.”

Summer School – Emily’s Picks

This month we’re going to school – summer school – where our own trend experts share some of their recent favorites.

My summer style is simple – floating in the pool, reading by the lake, or entertaining outdoors with friends and family. The classic cabana stripes on these playful floats would be a great addition to summer vacation. Every year my family gathers up north to Lake Michigan and I always bring a beach read – this one was perfect.

At home I’m looking for playful outdoor dinnerware like the new Rhodes x West Elm collaboration for maximizing the warm Midwest summer weather and dreaming of my own lakeside retreat like the ones featured on A Frame Dreams.”
