Poolside In The French Riviera

It's 420, and we'd rather be unwinding poolside at Les Haute de Gordes with a fresh croissant not too far out of reach. The gorgeous French Villa was designed by Josephine Fossey.

It’s hot. Like, the air feels like soup kind of hot. The kind of hot where ice melts faster than you can refill your glass, and everything outside slows down to a lazy crawl. It’s the last week of July, which means next week is somehow August already. Pool floats are still bobbing, the cicadas are screaming, and people are toggling between vacation mode and back-to-school prep in real time.

This is the part of summer where time starts to feel bendy. Where afternoon naps just sort of…happen? Where dinner turns into a hangout, and hangouts turn into long, slow conversations about absolutely nothing. Maybe you’ve been extra social lately, or maybe you’ve been hiding inside with the AC on full blast and your phone on Do Not Disturb. Both are valid.

So if you’ve been needing permission to do nothing, literally just exist for a minute, we’ve got you! Put your phone down, or don’t. Smoke a little, snack a lot. Play that crazy new dance album no one saw coming. Watch something. Make something. Light something.

Whatever your version of rest looks like, we hope you get some of it soon.

So, without further ado, we have our weekly inspiration for you to spark your afternoon daydreams. 🌿✨

Where's Our Dinner Party Crew?

Dinner parties don’t need to be stuffy or overly curated, sometimes the best ones come together with a playlist, a bowl of chips, and whatever’s in the fridge. But if you do want a little inspiration, this list offers up easy, slightly offbeat dinner party themes to take the pressure off and make space for connection, conversation, and maybe a round or two of something fun. Think low-maintenance, high-vibe hangs with people you love. Bonus points for showing up with dessert and a lighter.
