“LOFT+ Wakami’s Friendship Bracelet ($17) is like a stylish upgrade of the DIY versions we made in school. Even better, it was crafted by a Guatemalan woman in a collaboration with Wakami, a brand that provides artisans with a sustainable source of income.”

“Give me a weekend in the Joshua Tree desert, and I’m a happy camper--literally!”

“LOFT’s Etched Print Swimsuit Cover Up ($50) in Midnight Dream is great for wearing poolside, but I’d also pair it with cropped skinnies and lace-up oxfords for bowling night.”

“Vladmir Nabokov’s Lolita is my go-to beach read.”

“For my next long plane ride, I’m bringing LOFT’s Painted Stripe Embroidery Scarf ($35). It’ll punch up a casual travel outfit and serve as an ultra-soft blanket.”

“I grab a refreshing iced latte from local favourite Café Luxxe every chance I get.”

“LOFT’s Small Round Sunglasses ($25) in Blackberry Blue are a cool alternative to basic black shades.”

“I’ve got Wimbledon on my mind, so I plan on hitting the tennis courts as much as possible this summer.”

“I'm all about no-fuss, chic pieces for summer and LOFT’s Printed Romper ($70, available late June) is just the one. It's perfect for dressing up or down, and the neutral print means being able to style it in a variety of ways.”

“I’m obsessed with the light, fruity scent of Dolce Gabbana’s 3 L’Imperatrice Perfume. It’s been my summer go-to for years.”

“One of my key accessories for summer is a pair of sunglasses. You can never go wrong with a pair of classic tort frames, like LOFT’s Exotic Print Classic Sunglasses ($25) in Cairo Brown.”

“Phoenix’s new album, Bankrupt!, is the perfect soundtrack for a summer drive with all the windows down.”

“I have a major crush on jeweled friendship style bracelets at the moment. LOFT + Wakami’s Friendship Bracelet ($17) is a great way to add a little understated sparkle.”

“I love all of Sofia Coppola’s work, so I’ve been counting down the days to see The Bling Ring.”

“Two things that go great with a summer glow are white and shimmery details. LOFT’s Short Metallic Bead and Rope Necklace ($45) is the perfect mix of both.”

“Fish tacos are my favourite summer food. I love to add fresh jalapenos for a spicy kick!”

“Light summer eating includes strawberry bruschetta, prosciutto and melon, and plenty of gelato!”

“Summertime calls for colour! Even the most basic outfit deserves a pop of pink with LOFT’s Stripe Ribbon Multi Strand Seed Bead Necklace ($40)! The navy ribbon and bright hue is such a fun, preppy combo.” 

“I'm spending my summer bicoastally. The 4th of July will be on the Jersey Shore, and the rest of my time will be in Seattle and the San Juan Islands.” 

“With so many summer events on my calendar, it’s essential have a bag like LOFT’s Beaded Gem Clutch ($40). The contrast between the glam gems and casual canvas makes this a permanent favourite.”

“I’ve been really into memoirs and right now I'm reading Blood, Bones Butter, appropriate considering our family just opened our second restaurant! I can't wait to dive into the Grace Coddington memoir as well.”

“I’m a total sunglasses addict. But if there’s one style that I return to over and over, it’s LOFT’s Classic Frame Sunglasses ($25) in Black.”

“I love the atmosphere of a ballpark on a sunny summer day.”
