Here in Southern California, the sun has finally come out and June Gloom is over at long last! We’re definitely not complaining about the warmer weather, but we do need to update our wardrobe to handle the heat. In the summertime, our favorite fabric is linen. It’s so breezy and beautiful! Whenever we wear the luxe, lightweight material, we always feel like we’re about to board a boat in Nantucket or stroll down the street in the Hamptons.
