1. Hair Scarf
Style Inspiration: Windy car rides, hidden gardens, vintage films
There’s just something so timeless about a scarf in your hair. Tie it in a ponytail, braid it through your hair, or wrap it like a headband — either way, it adds charm and softness to your look.
Style it with: A sweetheart mini dress and gold jewelry for a light, romantic feel. Or pair it with an elevated tank top, sunglasses, and the gingham shorts below for a more casual look.
2. Brown Gingham Shorts
Style Inspiration: Picnics, berry-picking, warm countryside days
These soft gingham shorts feel timeless and playful. They’re flattering without trying, and the neutral tone makes them easy to dress up or down.
Style it with: A cotton lace cami, vintage sneakers, and a crochet tote. Add a hair clip and you’ve got the cutest outfit for a farmers market or picnic at the lake.
3. Crochet Tote
Style Inspiration: Sun-drenched cafés, beach day, Sunday morning errands
Lightweight, textural, and a little romantic — a crochet tote is your summer carryall. Perfect for books, peaches, sunglasses, and a water bottle. It feels like something you’d find in an old market in Europe.
Style it with: Literally everything — dresses, jeans, swimwear. Bonus: tie your hair scarf around one strap for a personal touch.
4. White Maxi Skirt
Style Inspiration: Breezy afternoons, quiet walks with a journal, dreamy summer photos
A white maxi skirt is another one of those summer staples that goes with everything. It pairs effortlessly with cotton tanks, puff sleeves, or any simple tee. The movement of the fabric makes even the simplest walks feel cinematic.
Style it with: A vest and ballet flats for effortless elegance. Or pair it with a blue striped button-up, sandals, and gold hoops for a French riviera vibe.
5. Gold Sea Shell Earrings
Style Inspiration: Seaside summers, mermaidcore, Riviera nostalgia
These dainty gold earrings are like little treasures from the sea. They’re subtle yet enchanting — the perfect accessory to catch the sunlight and a few compliments. Plus, I love that you can remove the shell and wear the gold hoops on their own.
Style it with: A linen romper or sundress, your hair tied back with a scarf, and a basket bag in hand. Or any other summer look!
6. Hawaiian Flower Hair Clip
Style Inspiration: Tropical breezes, sun-kissed beaches, barefoot evenings under palm trees
This flower clip adds an effortless island charm to your look — like something you’d wear after tucking a flower behind your ear on a summer walk. It’s bold yet graceful, and instantly brings warmth and playfulness to any hairstyle.
Style it with: Loose waves, a flowy white sundress, and gold hoop earrings. Or pair it with a swimsuit and crochet cover-up for a beach day look. Clip it on your tote when you’re not wearing it — it doubles as a beautiful little detail.
Summer is a good time to slow down and enjoy the little things. These pieces are simple, but they carry a feeling — of softness, lightness, and quiet joy. I hope they bring a bit of that into your days, too.
With love,
Velvet Brunette
