June is here, and with it comes a major shift in energy. As the days get longer and the weather
starts heating up, everyone’s looking to lock in their summer vibe. That said, with countless trends
blowing up across the internet, figuring out what actually makes you look and feel your best can
be overwhelming. That’s where Heather and I come in—we’re here to cut through the noise and
share our favorite go-to summer looks for 2025.
Technically, summer doesn’t start until the last week of June—so there’s still plenty of time to rock some of our favorite spring staples. Heather’s been loving pastel pinks and greens this
season. These soft hues remind her of her childhood bedroom—a nostalgic blend of purity and playfulness that perfectly captures the spirit of spring’s final stretch as we ease into summer.
Florals are another timeless element that scream fresh beginnings. While they’re a spring staple year after year, Heather says, “There’s just something about them that feels so feminine and classy.” Her love for all things girly runs deep—dating back to childhood when her mom would
dress her in color-coordinated bows to match every outfit. Bold, bright, and unapologetically fun, she’s always gravitated toward pieces that make a statement. And of course, you can never go wrong with a touch of glitter.
Statement pieces don’t always have to be bold pops of color. Sometimes, it’s the subtle details that turn heads—like an embroidered message on a pair of jeans or a scalloped collar on a sleek blazer. These small, thoughtful touches are the perfect way to stand out without overwhelming your look, proving that simplicity and individuality can go hand in hand.
While Heather loves a good flashy, colorful piece, she’s also drawn to softer, earthier tones. Shades like mocha brown, coastal blue, and butter yellow are among this year’s most popular—and for good reason. These versatile hues pair effortlessly with just about anything,
and even look stunning when worn together.
One of our favorite ways to add a unique twist? Tying a patterned scarf along the back of a hat. It’s a simple yet eye-catching way to bring more color and detail into your look, and an easy accessory move that makes any outfit feel instantly
elevated.
With summer heat in full swing, there's nothing better than satisfying your sweet tooth with something cool and refreshing. Heather—an unapologetic dessert lover—was instantly obsessed with the delicate icing design of a swan-shaped treat. Unique and adorable desserts like these aren’t just delicious—they’re a fun way to sweeten up your summer vibe. And when the temps rise, ice cream is always a classic go-to.
While maintaining a balanced diet is important, so is treating yourself. Whether you’re whipping up something sweet at home or heading out for your favorite scoop, dessert is the ultimate feel-good indulgence of the season.
And of course, we couldn’t forget about the adorable animals. As lifelong animal lovers, Heather and I knew they had to be part of our summer collage. The pink poodle, for us, symbolizes total relaxation—whether you're lounging in the sun or diving into the pool, summer is all about soaking in the good vibes. The swans and horses, on the other hand, beautifully represent connection and companionship. During the hustle of the year, it’s easy to let relationships fade into the background. With the slower pace and sunshine of summer, it's the perfect time to
reconnect—whether that means rekindling old friendships or planning a girls’ trip with your favorite people.
Summer is easily one of the most romanticized seasons of the year (and okay—I’ll admit, it’s my favorite, so maybe I’m a little biased). But whether you live for sunny days or just tolerate the heat, one thing’s for sure: this is your time to feel good and embrace the moment. Finding your personal style isn’t just about fashion—it’s about discovering what makes you feel most like yourself.
Maybe this summer you’ll start rocking bold statement pieces, lean into dreamy pastels, accessorize with your favorite hats and jewelry, try your hand at baking, or simply spend more time with the people who matter most. Whatever your vibe, Heather and I hope we helped inspire your aesthetic for June—and beyond.
