What I'm Loving Right Now
The first edition of a recurring Design On Trend edit — the style themes catching our eye this season, from effortless layers to accessories with personality.
September 1, 2026
Welcome to the first edition of What I'm Loving Right Now — a recurring Design On Trend edit where we share the style themes catching our eye this season. Think of it as a running note from the boutique: what we're reaching for, what's inspiring us, and the ideas we're excited to share with you.
This first edition is built around broad style themes rather than specific items — because what's on the truck shifts with the seasons, and we'd rather point you toward ideas that last longer than any single piece.
Effortless layers
There's a reason easy layering never really goes out of style. A soft layer thrown over a simple base reads as intentional without trying too hard — and it's the most practical way to dress for a day that moves between temperatures, from a cool morning to a warm afternoon.
We love layers that do double duty: pieces that look just as good over a tee as they do under a jacket, and that move from weekday to weekend without changing anything else.
Great denim, always
Denim remains the foundation we build everything around. A pair that fits well and feels comfortable opens up the rest of your wardrobe — it's the piece that makes every other choice easier. We're always drawn to denim that does that quietly, without needing to be the center of attention.
Accessories with personality
This season we're especially drawn to accessories that have something to say. A piece of jewelry with a little character, a belt that adds definition, a bag that brings its own personality — these are the details that take a simple outfit from fine to memorable.
The fun is in the mix. A quiet outfit with one bold accessory reads completely differently from the same outfit finished subtly. Both are good. The choice is the point.
Pieces that work harder than one occasion
Our favorite pieces right now are the ones that refuse to belong to a single moment. A layer that works for brunch and dinner. A dress that dresses down with sneakers and up with heels. Denim that reads relaxed during the day and polished at night. Pieces that earn their place by showing up more than once.
Mixing something unexpected
Finally, we love the idea of mixing one unexpected piece into an otherwise familiar outfit. It doesn't have to be dramatic — a different texture, an unusual color combination, an accessory you wouldn't normally reach for. That small surprise is often what makes an outfit feel like yours rather than everyone's.
