Getting ready for summer + brown sandals galore – The Simply Luxurious Life®

If you’re looking for interchangeable classic summer items, this post is for you.

With four pairs of brown sandals, varying in height from flats to kittens, and great discounts from some designer brands, comfortable dresses and a touch of feminine style, two cropped jackets that are flattering and easy to layer over different tops and mix with different bottoms, and a tote with handbags is enough to pick up any favorite items you like and dress up. Mix and match each other.

And of course, there are books! All published recently: one takes us to France, another to Mother Nature as inspiration for decorating, another explores food and how it allows our nervous system to heal, and another talks about mastering time so it doesn’t master us, no matter how full our lives and schedules are.

Let’s go shopping!
