IN OUR CLOSETS
PATTERN PLAY
This May, we’re leaning into prints that spark joy—gingham, vintage florals, and polka dots are taking over our closets. Inspired by the romantic, retro energy on the Spring 2025 runways, these feel-good patterns are the perfect match for bold moods and even bolder rings, like our new emerald BB THELMA.
IN OUR VASES
MAY FLOWERS
May marks the heart of spring—when flowers bloom in full glory, the weather warms, and we all find ourselves stepping outside a little more. In our vases this month: Tulips! These timeless blooms symbolize love, grace, and elegance—making them the perfectgesture for the season of connection. Whether you’re treating yourself or surprising your mom with a bouquet for Mother’s Day, tulips bring a message of beauty and affection that feels just right.
ON OUR MOOD BOARD
OUTDOOR DINING
This month, we’re all about that golden-hour glow, a chilled spritz in hand, and a perfectly curated cheeseboard at the center of it all. Outdoor dining takes on a slower, more intentional rhythm in the spring—think apéritivo hours that turn into long, laughter-filled evenings. It’s less about the meal and more about the mood: effortless, elegant, and full of connection. Whether it’s a terrace, a backyard, or a cozy sidewalk table, we’re embracing the art of gathering outside.
