109: ripe for summer

pinot noir, road trips, and making space

I think we’ve been underestimating burgundy as a warm-weather color. Like sun-ripened berries, chilled pinot noir, or bougainvillea climbing a whitewashed wall, it comes alive in summer.

Summer is best when it's spontaneous. Going with the flow, following the sea breeze, and leaving space for wherever the day takes me. The burgundy keote tote keychain has become one of those things I bring without thinking. The color goes with everything in my suitcase, and the tote clips onto my bag until I need extra room for beach towels, farmers market peaches, or little treasures I find along the way.

Burgundy and green are such a nostalgic ’90s color pairing. It also looks right at home among all my other bag charms. I never travel without it.

Matching your outfit to your glass of wine is always a good idea. Here's how I'd pack for a long summer weekend.

Inspired by Marni Spring 1998. Crisp white keeps burgundy feeling light, while the long cardigan adds just enough drama for dinner after a day in the sun.
