CURATED supports + celebrates the artists & artisans, producers & provedores we meet on our travels as well as design, style & fashion that inspires us from around the world – each with a nod to the love of COUNTRY life + STYLE. From locals we know, to creatives in faraway places, CURATED brings you the essence of grounded, soulful, country luxury & living.
Today’s edition of CURATED seeks shade from the summer sun + dips its toes into the coolness of seaside tones. Ocean bound, we pack our bags and head for the coast with 12 of our summer favs all set to accompany the 12 days of Christmas. Enjoy!
