This week’s Hit List collage is inspired by dreamy pastel palettes, pool parties, garden-variety florals, and marble prints.
1. Sweetheart design lines on sports bras are really speaking to us right now. They add a playful element into the mix, without sacrificing functionality. Naked Sports Gear specializes in a tan-through, moisture-wicking, dry-tek mesh fabric that eliminates the possibility of funky racerback tan lines. Plus, the print reminds us of a perfect summer sunset — available at Carbon38.
2. We are suckers for good packaging, especially when it involves eco-friendly, American-made products. The Violet Rose, organic soy candle by OUI comes in a hand-thrown ceramic holder with a beautiful marbleized print. Not only will you be burning clean, US-grown soy wax, essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils, but you can also reuse it as a vase for wildflowers or dried lavender on your desk or coffee table — available at NEED SUPPLY.
3. Chunky frames are fresh, especially exaggerated matte acetate silhouettes that come in directional colors like apricot. Acne takes it one step further as usual to their ‘Frame’ model, adding oil slick-inspired, 100% UV iridescent lenses into the equation — available at Farfetch.
4. Wet towels — where do they go once you finish swimming? adidas by Stella McCartney offers a solution to that pesky problem with their version of a Swim bag. Shown in mint with a pop of yellow and grey, this minimal tote features a separate liner with a drawstring that is perfect for all your post-festival pool party gear — available at adidas.
5. We have been looking for new floral motifs and came across these limited-edition prints by the Elizabeth Corkery, which feature hand-pulled, individually numbered screenprints inspired by the structural geometry of the garden trellis. We are in love with the idea of patterns featuring recolored gardenia and hydrangea on running tights or leggings — available at Print Club Boston.
6. These baby pink Vans Authentics are speaking to us. They are chill, but not too chill, and they are sweet, but not too sweet. Broken in and laced loosely, they have the potential to be the perfect summer shoe — available at Vans.
