Summer days are best spent on the coast of France in a pair of chic flats, according to Karen Armstrong.
What’s your essential summer purchase—and why do you love it?
This season, I’m a fan of both miniskirts and flowy dresses. I love a dress or skirt that can take me from swimming beachside straight through to a chic midsummer dinner or night out. Some of my favorite recent finds are from Ulla Johnson, LoveShackFancy, and Prada.
What’s a beauty product that everybody should get their hands on—and why?
My summer skin recipe is centered around a sun-kissed look. One of my favorite products to achieve that je ne sais quoi glow is a tinted SPF moisturizer. I like to add a bit of bronzer and finish off with a subtle lip tint. I am currently loving Supergoop’s Glow Screen and Beauty Pie’s Awesome Bronze Powder & Wondergloss—both are perfect for an I-woke-up-like-this summer look!
What’s a place you love to visit—and how do you spend your time there?
I chase summer endlessly! My ideal getaways involve a secluded beach or a French holiday—early this season I’m leaning into the latter, eating my way through brasseries and shopping antique brocantes. The second half of my summer, though, will be taken from a secluded beach in Puerto Escondido.
