Whether you’re styling your space or curating your wardrobe, the Lavender Girl lives gently and with intention.
How to embrace a Lavender Girl Summer:
1.
Transform Your Home
Bring the outside in:
- Drape linen café curtains to let in the morning light.
- Decorate with dried herbs, pressed flowers, and antique teacups.
- Use soft candlelight or lavender-scented diffusers for a calming glow.
Let your space feel like a quiet countryside retreat.
2.
Adopt Slow Living Rituals
This season is about romanticizing the little things:
- Journal in the garden or by an open window.
- Dry lavender, rosemary, or mint from your kitchen.
- Bake a loaf of lavender honey bread on a rainy afternoon.
Give yourself permission to move slowly and savor the moment.
3.
Dress the Part
The Lavender Girl’s wardrobe is soft, flowing, and effortlessly romantic:
- Choose cotton or linen dresses in soft florals or solid pastels.
- Add details like lace trims, vintage buttons, or embroidered aprons.
- Accessorize with a straw hat, handmade jewelry, or a woven basket bag.
It’s less about fashion and more about feeling comfortable, free, and feminine.
