Little Luxuries

Hi loves!

One of the segments I want to do here is share little luxuries — things that are small, or inexpensive, or both, that have made my life feel a little more luxurious, a little more decadent. It might be candles. It might be make up. It might be a pair of cashmere socks. It will be seasonal, because I live very seasonally, and it will be lovely.

So, since today is the day after Memorial Day, and it is officially summer (or, technically unofficially, but you know what I mean), my first little luxury is one of my favorite summer drinks — Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. There is nothing better than a crisp, cold glass of this on a hot summer day. It’s light and bright, fruity without being sweet, perfect poolside, on the beach, or paired with a book and a sunhat out on the patio.

I drink it very cold, almost frozen, and some days will even drop an ice cube in, and have “vin piscine” (or “wine swimming pool”) like they do in the south of France. I promise it’s chic and not tacky to do!

If you’re looking for something similar, but at a little lower price point, Oyster Bay makes a gorgeous Sauvignon Blanc too, and you can usually find it for about $10 a bottle — hard to beat that price!

Sending you so much love this first week of unofficial summer!
