When the lead character in one of summer’s most iconic movies is a gopher, it correlates to a season that’s more carefree than the uppity months. Beach reads, going barefoot, sundresses and dining en plein air takes its cue from longer days and lower maintenance.
Ways to Get Into Summer Leisure Mode
Activities
Summer activities isn’t all about surf and sand, get engrossed in a good book for some substantive chill time.
We’ve become so absorbed in digital time there are now PSA’s on how to combat the trend. Summer is the perfect time to wean off electronics, where all you need for a day outdoors is a book, sun protection and something to sit on. Biking, games and gardening are other options that fit into the leisure mode agenda.
Eat
An equipped basket lends itself to impromptu picnics.
Dining out doesn’t have to involve chic restaurants or paper bagged food on the fly. Be in the habit of taking meals outside and not just in your backyard. Invest in a picnic basket that makes assembling meals on the go simple and efficient with that haute cuisine touch.
Dress
The loose look of a boho styled dress says summer.
Sundresses are the one-ingredient essential to smart dressing. You always feel and look good in a wispy dress that exudes calmness. We love the boho style with its romantic patterns and feminine cuts.
Sleep
Oversized pillows add comfort to a bed or use them as throws for additional seating.
Style your bed beautifully, which will rival the sofa for those leisure time moments. Large accent pillows are also multi-functional to buttress standard sizes or use as throws for additional seating options.
