Hi Friends!
SZ here with a wrap up of June. Can you believe it, Summer is finally here in all her glory! Things have been hectic - visitors from far and wide, running our amazing little Lisboa shop (huge thanks to everyone who has come by!), executing our most exciting shoot yet for SS25 and a very special 40th birthday for my other half.
Here is what has been sparking my engine this month. Tis the season when SZ Blockprints really comes into its own - easy, breezy pieces for everyday wear. Our Lucca Dress in Bluebell below is case in point. Here I am back in Jaipur last Spring glamming her up with some silver Carels for a night on the town.
Collab of the Month
The most perfect espadrilles are here. The perfect sunset, golden hue to match all your favourite looks. Here are Lizzie and Kathryn above, the dynamic due behind my most beloved jewellery line Lizzie Fortunato, styling theirs up for a New York weekend.
On the Chopping Block
You dip, I dip, we all dip. It's golden hour season folks which means it's time to dust off your favourite snack platter and get chopping. I am loving this Margot Henderson of Rochelle Canteen's green sauce as a spread with toasted bread (scroll down in link interview) and this wonderful attempt at the famed anchovy dip found at Club 55 served with the most abundant crudités platter you've ever seen.
My Latest Loves
The most comprehensive and well stocked emporium for all things hand crafted and independent brands produced all over Portugal. Every single thing in the store is so quirky and vintage chic it's hard not to leave with multiple slightly impractical, but lavish items like hand-painted tamborine or a toothpaste that looks straight out of a museum.
