What I'm Loving Lately: August Edit

Late-summer textures, soft patterns, and the kind of neutrals that work year-round.

August always feels like a gentle in-between — the days are still warm, but there’s a shift in the air that hints at the next season. My picks this month blend breezy summer ease with subtle richness, so they’ll feel just as at home in September as they do now. Think airy whites, antique-inspired metals, and a touch of pattern for depth.

Pattern Play

A dotted silk dress, block-printed pillows and floral artwork bring just enough visual interest without overpowering. I’m especially drawn to those smaller-scale motifs right now — they feel timeless, not trendy, and pair beautifully with solid linens or natural textures.

Everyday Neutrals, Elevated

A crisp lightweight nightgown, a sculptural ceramic lamp, and a fringed linen pillow are my go-to foundation pieces this month. They work in both interiors and wardrobes — easy to style, endlessly versatile, and seasonless.

Touches of Warm Metal

I’m leaning into antique brass and tarnished silver as a foil to all the soft whites. The vintage-inspired vase and brass vessel add an understated glow and that patina-rich charm you can’t get from something brand new.

Understated Glamour

A sleek iron console, strappy burgundy sandals, and a structured cream bag balance casual comfort with just the right amount of polish. They’re the kinds of pieces that make a simple outfit or entryway feel considered.

Everything here plays well together — you could style the pillows on the bench under that gold-framed floral painting, or wear the dotted dress with the cream bag and sandals for dinner al fresco. That’s my sweet spot: mixing pieces so they layer easily into both your home and your closet.
