The pieces in this curation arrived softly—like dusk settling across the edges of a long, sunlit day. Not planned, not plotted, just felt. A pull toward cooler air, deeper tones, textures that hold warmth while still whispering summer. A capsule shaped by intuition, not strategy.
Welcome to Violet Drift.
Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Wool Cashmere V-Neck Sweater
A soft shift into the golden hour when, even in summer, an early evening breeze kisses your shoulders.
Worn loosely over a slip dress or paired with white denim, this anchors the collection in warmth without weight.
Vince Wool & Cashmere-Blend Short-Sleeve Sweater
The perfect bridge between long days and cooled evenings. Light enough for summer’s end, rich enough to signal what’s next.
Beautiful paired with honey-colored denim or under a beige blazer.
Lends just the right amount of je ne sais quoi to white denim.
Citizens of Humanity Horseshoe Jean
A horse of a different color, seemingly difficult to wear.
But you will find you can throw them on with any fitted top, and they elevate.
Slouchy in just the right places.
Outfit gold—literally.
Manolo Blahnik Maysale 50 Velvet Mule
A horse and a mule—in the same collection, no less! But this mule puts the X in exclamation point. The punctuation mark of the palette.
A lush, royal shade, just like the August skies.
Subtle drama with every elevated step.
DiorPacific S1U Sunglasses
Because summer wouldn’t be summer without the sunnies.
A hint of periwinkle, a drop of mist, a color as mysterious as the eyes they’re accessorizing.
Outfit completion.
Johanna Ortiz Pareo
Let her unfurl in the wind. She is the hero piece of Violet Drift; the anchor that stays the collection and keeps it from straying—she not only sets the tone, she IS the tone.
A versatile scarf, throw her over your shoulders, gather into a loose triangle and loop her around your chin—she’s a cheeky head scarf.
My personal favorite? Toss her around your waist and fashion her as a skirt,over your bathing suit, or if you dare, with a cashmere tank. I dare ya…
Timberland Boot
The bad boy of the group—and who doesn’t love a bad boy?
He brings the bite and ballast. A boot that rebels in just the right way.
Thrown on with a skirt or a slip dress, it gives rockstar biker, Motley Crüe bad boy, and Johnny Depp back in the day. The trifecta.
Marques Almeida Turtleneck Puff Sleeve Top
She’s the darling of the group—taken down a notch only by the Timberlands, or wait, no…they elevate her.
Her sleeves are the chef’s kiss, the icing on the cake—the reason you couldn’t say no.
She’s a temptress. Under a beige blazer, she is the protagonist. Alone, she is epic.
Wear her with jeans. Wear her with a camel flare in the fall.
She is fire and ice, all in one.
Louis Vuitton Symphony Perfume
Cue the swans, here glides Symphony.
If Truman Capote’s swans had a vanity tray, this would sit center.
A swoon-worthy elixir of ginger zest, grapefruit, bergamot, and orange.
“Where Sea and Sky unite” —Louis Vuitton.
One spritz and you’re in a novel.
Saint Laurent Shearling Quilted Monogram Loulou Pouch
The quiet darling of the curation, but she’s more than just fluff. She’s the versatile, tactile team player to your ensemble. Throw her on for a casual evening with jeans, or take her out for a spin with your favorite slip dress.
She’s as good with a blazer as she is at a Black Tie Affair—how many things can you say that about?
Top Tanzanite Charm
Just a little stunner in violet and ice. She’s the pop to your look, that winking glimpse of color.
She grounds, she plays, she delights, as all good jewelry should.
Figue Off-White Fringe Cardigan
A little on the fringe, an oldie but goodie—if you can’t find her exactly, you can definitely source a close facsimile. Divine and over-the-top in the best possible way, throw her on with a pair of shorts and a white tee, don her over a dress, or toss her on over your pajamas.
Yes, she’s that girl.
U Beauty The Super Intensive Face Oil
A fan of U Beauty since its inception, I can tell you that this face oil brings it.
After trying her for only one night, I noticed a visible difference in my skin. She has become one of the high points of my morning and evening skincare ritual.
She is the last step of my routine, and she is nonnegotiable.
Kopari Sun Shield Soft Glow Daily Face SPF 30 • Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist
Because it’s summer, and you’re doing hot girl walks, and because it’s a pain in the ass to reapply your sunscreen, but now it’s not.
Now it’s ritual. Because this is easy, and it makes you glowy.
And who doesn’t want more glow? Always.
And as just a little added refreshing benefit, Tatcha. Because everyone loves Tatcha.
Ralph Lauren The Iconic Cotton Chino Ball Cap
Because physical sunscreen isn’t enough in the summer.
Because sometimes you’re at a ball game.
Because sometimes you’re playing it casual.
“Because a hat is always a good idea,”—your outfit.
Beyond Yoga Powerbeyond Midi Leggings and Strength Tank
Simple recipe.
Hat, shades, sun block, stir in leggings and tank.
Blend well, and you’re off to the races.
TKEES x Nili Lotan Flip Flop
Two of my faves united in a glorious collab.
Tkees—I own many; you should too—and Nili Lotan.
Pared-down perfection.
Wear them with shorts, to the beach, with jeans. Elevate them with a linen dress, cigarette pants, cropped kick flairs. Toss them in their linen bag and throw them in your purse.
Nothing is easier. Truly…
