Summer is upon us, well, almost! The kids are out of school and we’re in the final stretch of being home until we leave for a majority of the summer months. As excited as I am, there’s so much prep that goes into packing, for both our family and my work. So a lot of my day to day has been hitting deadlines before we leave! We’ll continue to work throughout our trip, but prep work ahead of time is essential to not falling behind initially. Here’s a look at the month ahead!

What We’re Doing

• I have two big design reviews before we leave, one for a collaboration launching later this fall and the other launching pre-holiday. Both are totally different and in differing categories, so it’s fun to work on them simultaneously.
• We’ll be renovating our kitchen while we’re away, so we’ve had to pack everything up ahead of time. I can’t wait to see it all come together in August!
• We’re starting our summer travels off in Paris. I’m looking forward to being back with the girls. Last time we were there they were 1.5 and almost 4, so it’ll be an entirely different experience this time.
• We’ve booked all of our Paris restaurants for next week! Here are a few we’re hitting up this time: Gigi, Le Renommée, Le Grand Café, Le Bon Georges and Chez Janou.
• After Paris, we’re going to Spain for a little over two weeks, traveling between Mallorca, Menorca and Marbella until the beginning of July. Here’s what I’m packing for Spain.
• We’re heading to a concert this week with friends, and I’ve been torn on what to wear that’s comfy, playful and good for the heat. I think I’ll do a mini like this one or this one with a white tank top and sandals. 

What I’m Wearing

What I’m Buying

• I’ve had my eye on this embroidered Valentino bag and I’m obsessed
• A re-fill on a favorite face SPF
• This cute set for Spain: top and shorts
• I recently bought this Loretta Caponi dress on sale
• This bikini 
• A new Donde Estaban dress that feels like all the right vibes for Spain. I can’t decide between the mini or maxi and the pareo too 
• I am obsessed with Kroma’s bone broths. I’ve been drinking a mix of chicken or beef daily, and it’s a great way to easily hit my protein goals. I’ll be traveling with these individual packets this summer 
• A very good jacket, even if I may not need it for months (we’ll be in Switzerland and Austria later this summer, so it’ll work then! 
• These look comfortable enough to walk a good distance in to dinner while traveling, so I’m trying them out 
• Also restocking on a favorite natural deodorant of mine (I switched fully over in January and I’m very proud I stuck through the tough stinky bit!) 
• The new Follow Suit collection can’t be missed. The “heritage paisley” is my favorite: top and bottoms
• I also ordered myself a new set of chartreuse packing cubes 

What I’m Eyeing

With Father’s Day approaching, this week’s Amazon Sunday brings together thoughtful finds for every kind of father figure, from the one at the grill to the one who loves an active day outdoors to the one who could use a few new accessories for his desk.

For the dad who loves to cook, a great chef’s knife or cast iron grill press really elevates his game in the kitchen. For the one who is happiest outdoors and staying active, waterproof binoculars or a new bike are made for long summer days. And for the dad who appreciates the simple pleasures, Thomas’s favorite coffee maker, a portable speaker he can bring along on trips, or a massage gun gives him something to enjoy at his own pace.

There is something in this roundup for every man in your life, with options big and small, from little extras to bigger splurges. The thought of giving him a gift he will actually be excited to use is what makes Father’s Day feel special.

Browse the full selection below, and explore more in our JB Amazon Shop and Amazon Storefront, refreshed weekly.

Historically I’m not a fan of a bubble hem on anything — jackets, blouses, dersses. But… is this bubble hem maxi not adorable? Because I’m short I usually am limited to petite maxi dresses, unless I want to look like I’m trying to be dramatic with a trailing hem. But a bubble hem… I’ll bet I could wear this dress as it is, even though there isn’t a petite size.

Plus: POCKETS.

The dress is $138 at Evereve, available in sizes XS-XL.

It’s only the first week of June, and my cart is ready for every version of summer. Statement-making sandals, turquoise earrings, striped swim, and one very fun raffia skirt all feel like a manifestation of who I’m hoping to be this season.

At home, a bandana paisley placemat (a print I will never not love) feels so right for entertaining outside. This marbled green vase fits into the ethereal, whimsical, collected mood of our new living room. And with Father’s Day coming around sooner than expected, I’ve been keeping my eye out for things I know Thomas would love, pieces that are thoughtful and elegant but also useful. Playing cards, a paddle set, a beautiful refillable journal.

For the littles, a few warm-weather staples. This crochet hat is definitely coming with us to Europe, and easy matching sets make for a smooth morning routine when they’re eager to get out the door.

Finding the perfect balance between high-intensity support and all-day comfort is the holy grail of activewear. The Sports Bra Collection by Bornnouli delivers exactly that, featuring a range of soft, breathable, and expertly engineered styles designed to move with your body.

Experience a collection that doesn’t just hold its own during your toughest workouts but feels soft enough to keep on long after you leave the gym.
