Unpolished & Unapologetic: A Modern Muse’s Guide
AUGUST 2025 | ISSUE 06
In these last few weeks of the sunny season, we’re savoring summer-ripe fruits, donning breezy sundresses, and checking out CINQ Bridal’s new NYC showroom. With poppies blooming bright, we’re celebrating Leo season by embracing fearless, radiant energy. Long days are filled with outdoor concerts, movie nights under the stars, and impromptu adventures before the slow shift toward fall. From effortless outfits to stacking our favorite BB Thelma pieces, here’s how we're keeping it cool, colorful, and unforgettable this August.
IN OUR CLOSETS:
Summer's End Sundresses
This month we are embracing the heat with an easy, breezy approach. Simple, flowy sundresses or breezy fabric sets pair perfectly with natural hair in this summer humidity. We love mixing a minimal base with a statement earring stack (hellooo BB Thelma huggies) or a striking necklace for an easy style win. It’s all about keeping cool, feeling natural, and letting the accessories do the talking.
IN OUR VASES:
Late Summer Poppies
Poppies, with their vivid red-orange petals and airy, paper-like texture, are our flower obsession this month. A symbol of imagination and remembrance, they feel like the perfect bridge between the sun-soaked days of summer and the golden tones of fall just ahead.
ON OUR MOOD BOARDS:
Last Few Summer Sunsets
August is here! The hottest stretch of summer and the last call to squeeze in those last few sunset strolls. Candy-colored skies make the best backdrops for movie nights under the stars, sipping spritzes on sun-soaked patios, and having the best stone fruit of the year. Enjoy the fiery, pre-dusk moments with someone you love and a new peach recipe while they’re perfectly ripe. We recommend this one ;)
ON OUR TO-GO LISTS:
CINQ Bridal Showroom
171 Spring St, New York, NY 10012 (by appointment only)
LA based, it-girl bridal brand CINQ has opened an East Coast showroom in Soho and it’s everything we hoped it would be and more. They’ve delivered a fully immersive experience that feels like stepping back in time, featuring vintage-inspired decor and every dreamy dress we have saved from their Instagram page.
A must-visit for any bride-to-be.
ON OUR WISH LISTS:
Butter Yellow BB Thelma
August’s new summer stone just landed and she’s radiant, warm, and all the sunny vibes we want to take into the fall with us. We’ve added yellow diamond to our BB Thelma collection for that perfect touch of glow. Whether in our iconic pinky ring or the new BB Thelma Huggies, she’s made for stacking, mixing, and never taking off.
