I don’t want my scent to be too sweet, but a complicated gourmand like Annabel’s Birthday Cake by Marissa Zappas is right up my alley. It’s delicious, a little bit joyful, and completely addictive. It’s also probably the scent I get the most compliments on, as it smells so yummy but is also totally unique.
My Favorite White Dresses
A white dress is kind of like the summer version of jeans: endlessly versatile, always in style, and open to interpretation. It’s a blank canvas in the best way. You can keep it super simple—think flat sandals and a straw tote for weekend errands or beach days . . . or, you can pile on the color: a stack of beaded necklaces, a bright lip, maybe even a wedge heel if you’re feeling fancy.
