With the arrival of May, it's time to relish the best of spring. Fresh cherries, stone fruits, and fragrant basil remind me of summers in Italy. I've been enjoying more outdoor meals and embracing lighter routines, including how I dress each morning.
This month's selections reflect that refreshing vibe. We've chosen warm-weather essentials that we truly love, from fashion to beauty and home—each piece thoughtfully selected to enhance our lives.
