Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

In the midst of all that is going on, summer is finally here. While the pandemic may have shifted a few of my seasonal plans, that has not stopped me from participating in socially distant activities.

Over the past few months, we’ve arguably become best friends with our home. Some of us, including myself, have invested in all sorts of interior selects that have made this stay-at-home normality a little bit easier. But as the weather starts to heat up, outside is becoming harder to resist (but not without a mask).

As I began planning my small summer excursions, I couldn’t help but scroll through a few of my favorite brands, like Pyer Moss, Martine ROSE, Hanifa and Lem Lem, to check out what they’re releasing this season. Check out what’s in my shopping cart below.
