Labor Day carries a sweetness—a three-day weekend asking to pause and savor the last moments of summer before it "officially" slips away in the shadows of football, crisp air, and suede accessories. Whether it be sunset cocktails, a barbecue, or a pool party, we're reminded to celebrate all that's fleeting and enjoy the carefree feelings of sun-kissed cheeks, ice cream cones, laughter, and festive red, white, and blue! It’s a celebration not just of the long weekend, but of connection as we close out the season that reminds us all to live like kids again, even just for a few minutes.

From sun safety to seamless transitioning from coffee - to pool - to beach - to cocktails—summer wouldn't be what it is without a go-to hat and tried & true tote bag. The Hollyhock Sun Hat by Sarah Bray Bermuda and the Tropical Garden Everywhere Tote Bag by Timo & Violet are two of our favorites. These summer workhorses should get every last squeeze of use, likely through September!

Adding a dose of vintage to the sundress uniform is a styling recipe we love and the best way to add a fresh spin to your best-of-summer outfits. Kimono Dragon's Sea Shell Earrings are a cheeky but not kitschy nod to the coast while enjoying one last Hugo Spritz and oysters!

And before bidding adieu to farm stand berries, how fun are these Mixed Berry Candles by Scandles? Imagine them scattered along red buffalo check farm tables for family style seating. Too sweet to eat! But don't forget to serve poolside cocktails with these adorable Red Swimsuit Cocktail Napkins first!

Hope these touches of Labor Day flair inspire your get together, gifts, or looks for this upcoming holiday weekend! Check them out and more here!
