For Jessica Sulima, commerce writer, the allure of Greece was too great to resist. She booked a stunning Airbnb in Kalamaki, Andros, and spent her days lounging on the beach and exploring the island’s rugged coastline. ‘There are few places I’d return to again and again, and with around 200 inhabited islands, Greece is one of them,’ she says. ‘From Mykonos to Milos, every Greek isle offers a unique topography, a new seafood dish to become obsessed with, and a distinct pace of life you can’t help but mirror.’

As for her vacation uniform, Jessica relied on a few trusty favorites, including her L.L.Bean Boat and Tote, a copy of Talk by Linda Rosenkrantz, and a new pair of Buck Mason cutoffs. ‘I found myself reaching for a new pair of Buck Mason cutoffs that feel like a chic graduation from the denim diaper,’ she says. ‘A pointelle tank from Gap that’s the perfect amount of crop; and my G.H. Bass fisherman sandals, which make me feel like a leather-skinned grandpa.’

Lucy Bruton, social media manager, is also enjoying the sunshine in the UK, where she’s planning her outfits for the upcoming wedding season. ‘July might just be my favorite month of the year, and as a true sun baby, whenever the UK gets a glimpse of sunshine, my mood is instantly lifted,’ she says. ‘What better way to celebrate love than in this joyful, sunny yellow Simkhai dress?’
Pallavi Kumar, senior visuals editor, is taking a more laid-back approach to her summer, with a week-long trip to Maui with her sister. ‘Some trips you plan, and some trips you wait for,’ she says. ‘My sister and I have been dreaming about Maui for years, and this July it’s finally happening.’ The two will spend their days lounging on the beach, snorkeling, and exploring the island’s natural beauty.
Preshita Saha, global video director of content, is starting July with a bang, attending the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. ‘We’re glamping on-site for the race weekend, which has resulted in a rather long packing list,’ she says. ‘At the top of it is a showerproof jacket from Barbour and Tower 28’s Hypochlorous Acid Spray.’
As the summer months unfold, our editors will continue to share their adventures and insights from around the world. Whether you’re looking for travel tips, fashion inspiration, or simply a glimpse into the lives of our team, we invite you to join us on this journey.
