It’s hard to believe the holiday weekend has already slipped by, marking the unofficial start of summer. This year, though, summer feels a little different. Travel plans are on pause, gatherings are smaller, and most of our sunny moments are being enjoyed a little closer to home. But here’s the thing: that doesn’t mean we have to skip out on the joys of summer altogether. In fact, it might be the perfect season to savor the little indulgences—whether that’s a breezy new dress, a pair of sandals that makes you smile, or a skincare upgrade that feels like a treat.
To kick off the season, I leaned into the holiday spirit with a few luxury finds from Harvey Nichols. Their collections always manage to capture that balance of timelessness and trend, and right now, they’re making summer shopping even sweeter with a limited-time promotion. It’s the kind of sale that makes you want to click “add to cart” just a little faster: 20% off full-price designer fashion, shoes, and accessories, plus 10% off beauty favorites.
Why Summer Style Still Matters
Even if this summer doesn’t look like the ones we’re used to, style still has a way of lifting our spirits. Slipping into something beautiful—even if the only audience is your own reflection in the mirror—can transform the way a day feels. A crisp white dress has a way of bringing sunshine indoors, and a chic handbag can make a quick grocery run feel a little more elevated.
For me, fashion is less about where I’m going and more about how I want to feel. And in the midst of routines that feel repetitive, pulling together a look with a hint of summer freshness is one of the easiest ways to create a moment of joy.
A Sale Worth Celebrating
Harvey Nichols has always been a destination for expertly curated style, and their current designer promotion is one of those rare opportunities to invest in pieces you’ll reach for again and again. Think:
- The Handbag Upgrade: An elegant bag in a neutral shade that pairs seamlessly with everything from sundresses to denim.
- Statement Sandals: Strappy flats or block heels that carry you from an at-home dinner on the patio to socially distanced weekend strolls.
- Summer Dresses: Flowy silhouettes in airy fabrics that feel effortless, even when the humidity is anything but.
- Skincare Essentials: Vitamin-rich serums, nourishing moisturizers, and sun protection that doubles as luxury self-care.
The beauty of sales like this is the chance to not only save but also to choose wisely. Instead of impulse buys, it’s about finding those investment pieces—the ones you’ll be excited to wear long after this summer.
Little Indulgences, Big Impact
This summer may ask us to slow down, but it also gives us the opportunity to be more intentional. Lighting a candle during dinner, slipping into your favorite lipstick before a Zoom call, or swapping sweatpants for a breezy linen set are all small rituals that create a sense of occasion. And in a season where our calendars are lighter, those small luxuries feel even more meaningful.
I’ve learned that indulging in style isn’t about extravagance; it’s about creating moments of joy and ease. And sometimes, a new handbag or the perfect pair of sunglasses is just the little nudge we need to feel refreshed and ready to embrace the season ahead.
Ready, Set, Summer
So yes, this summer is unlike any other. But sunshine is still here, and so is the spirit of the season. Whether you’re lounging at home, taking neighborhood walks, or planning a quiet beach day, there’s no reason not to infuse it with a touch of luxury.
