May Forecast – Julia Berolzheimer
The month of May always tends to feel like a final sprint. The kids are counting down the days until summer break, and the calendar is suddenly booked out for weeks. I’ll admit the pace can feel a little frantic, but it’s also one of my favorite stretches of the year. Charleston is in full bloom, the evenings are getting longer, and there’s an eagerness for the shift in energy ahead.
So much of this month is built around things that have been in motion for a long time: the Mexico trip we planned last year, our formal living room we started designing with Summer last spring, a new collaboration we’re finally kicking off. Here’s what’s on my radar for May.
What We’re Doing
- The last month of school! The kids are counting down the days, and we’re in a panic to fit in as much as possible before they’re home all day!
- We’re heading to our interior designer Summer Thorton’s home in Mexico! We’ve been planning this since last year and cannot wait!
- Some of my favorite fine jewelry designers have been coming to Charleston! I had a visit from Danielle from Sherman Field to shoot a feature with her and got to preview her newest collection (it’s very colorful and very me), I had the pleasure of co-hosting a pop-up with Retrouvai (a brand I’ve long loved and have a few pieces) last week alongside with brand HighSport, and finally got to meet Irene Neuwirth at an event she had at The Dewberry last week– another brand I had long-loved and have probably the most pieces from than any other designer. Jewelry is so personal and with fine jewelry, it’s so wonderful to get to touch and try on. Because of the price point, many of these pieces I’ll sit with and think about for months (or years) before making a decision. For example, my Sherman Field locket (sold-out, similar here), which is probably my most-worn piece, was a long, waited purchase.
- I’m kicking off the design process this month for a collaboration that will launch spring of 2027. It’s a brand you all love– and it’s one that is such a great fit and I’m beyond thrilled about! We have two more launching this year, too!
- I am excited to dig into Beneath this month after reading Conform in January, along with Yesteryear (recommended by a close friend)
- Thomas’s birthday is at the end of May, so I’m already trying to brainstorm gifts for him– he’s a hard shopper (he only likes really practical things)
- Our formal living room is being installed at the end of the month! We designed this room with Summer last spring and it’s finally *almost* ready. The room has been under construction for the past month and I can’t wait to see it come together.

Top 10 Looks from the Met Gala 2026: Isha Ambani in Gaurav Gupta, Cardi B in Marc Jacobs, Naomi Osaka in Robert Wun, Beyonce in Olivier Rousteing, and More!
The 2026 Met Gala transformed the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art into a living gallery, as this year’s theme, “Costume Art,” challenged attendees to explore the relationship between fashion and the body as a form of artistic expression. With a dress code of “Fashion Is Art,” guests were invited to treat garments as sculptural, historical, and conceptual works—drawing inspiration from paintings, architecture, and centuries of visual culture.
Curated to highlight the “dressed body” across time, the exhibition paired fashion with fine art, encouraging interpretations that ranged from anatomical references to avant-garde silhouettes and intricate embellishments. The result was a red carpet filled with dramatic textures, exaggerated forms, and pieces that blurred the line between clothing and art.
Fashion Bomb was on the scene to capture the magic!
Take a look at our top 10 looks:
Isha Ambani delivered one of the top looks of the night at the Met Gala in a custom Gaurav Gupta saree, featuring intricate embroidery and a sculptural draped silhouette brought to life by over 50 artisans. The design embodied the “Costume Art” theme through its fusion of traditional craftsmanship and avant-garde form, making her a standout on the carpet.
Rihanna followed suit in Maison Margiela, delivering a metallic, art-forward look complete with intricate embellishments and a silhouette that evoked a “living sculpture” on the carpet.
From bold interpretations of anatomy to couture that mirrored museum-worthy installations, the night proved that fashion, at its highest level, is not just worn—it is experienced. Scroll on to see the top 5 looks that defined the evening.

The moment the temperature gets above 60 degrees, I’m ready to break out all of the jersey dresses in my closet. They’re comfortable, washable, and easy to throw on and go about your business. This tie-front option from Modern Citizen would be fantastic to add to my collection. I love the shape and polish that the tie provides, and the midi length looks a bit more contemporary than some of the knee-length versions I have now.
This brown color is lovely, but it also comes in black, olive, “dusty blue,” and “dark maritime.”
The dress is $168 at Modern Citizen and comes in XS-1X and XSP-1XP.
