How to Have Your Chicest, Most Fulfilling Summer Yet

I write this from the desk in my South London bedroom on a muggy day, catching stray whispers of breeze through my narrowly cracked windows. Though my deadlines haven’t paused, everything else has. My dog lies lazily curled at my feet, the hum of a fly soundtracks my afternoon and my hair frizzes as the hours creep by. All signs point to summer’s arrival.

I don’t know about you but I’m determined that this will be my best summer yet. My calendar’s already stacked with plans, but it’s the slower days I’m beginning to think about and, ultimately, how to make the most of them.
