My Monoprix swimsuit (it’s great IRL!!!) Zara pants (similar here) and Massimo belt (similar here). This Arket scarf (similar here) is about three years old, the glasses—I can’t even count the years.

Knowing who you are—and what you like—can sometimes look a little bit boring from the outside.

Granted. This house, which we stay at for a few days each year can absolutely never be boring. This pool! This view! But I could be anywhere in Corsica and be happy. Often at my mom’s. My dream is to buy a little fisherman’s cabin somewhere on the coast one day. That’s when I’m finished with my giant Moroccan project which is, realistically, NEVER.

Now I (mostly) know who I am, so:

I got these really really cool slides at Mango, they’re made of a beautiful leather. Some other cool ones here!

I don’t accept random invitations with insane people —> I have less crazy stories to tell.

My Sézane hat, this Zara shirt dress (similar here) I’ve had for many years, my forever Monica Vinader earrings, and of course my Garrett Leight glasses.

I know I want to spend my summer in Corsica —> all my summers look the same.

Talking to my stepdaughter - wearing my old shirt. I use Vanish to keep my whites white, but let me know if you have a better solution!

I’ve been loving the same clothes for twenty years —> I’m the least fashion-y fashion creator.

A giant Zara men’s linen shirt. I got it this year in the biggest size and that I wear it as a dress, another Monoprix swimsuit, and a pair of Mango sandals I got the same day I got the white slides. And the forever glasses.

I could go on.

Sometimes I wish I was still the fomo-driven-yes-person-eternally-guided-by-her-curiosity young woman I used to be. I’d have many more clothes to show, many more stories to tell. But sometimes—to reassure myself—I think these stories wouldn’t have the same depth. I’d probably be truly bored to death if I was still a fish out of water in a high-profile party. Even more boring if I was a fish IN water.

So here I am, simply home.

And also, how gorgeous it is to feel the warm embrace of the familiar, to go back to a place that you don’t need to discover?

How calming, how comforting?

Mango shoes. Similar (probably better quality, here) Zara pants (similar here)

To wear the same clothes, summer after summer? My men’s linen shirts in extra extra large so I can wear them as dresses, my simple swimsuits, my sunglasses—I’ve probably had these for ten years? I update a few things of course, but keep the same vibe, the same blacks, whites and blues, the browns.

I love how washed out clothes worn for years feel, I love that they carry memories and most of all, I love that they remind me of who I am.

I love how chill this all feels. And if there are times when I feel like, shit, I should shop more so I could share more, I always try to remind myself that being real is the most exciting outfit of them all.

On top of it, right now I’m budget conscious (my type of maths = a pair of Alaïa flats = a mature palm tree for my land. But in ten years, my palm tree will be thriving, while my Alaïas… ) so it makes my paired down style even more comforting and feel even more like… Home.

That’s my summer style for you!

I have one dress I’ll talk to you about next week. Same vibe, versatile, comfortable and easy. And it makes me so happy.

In my last Letter I share the story of what happened when I decided to put myself first, and how hard (and necessary) it’s been. It’s called The Life List and you can read it here.

In my last Note, I talked about how my body melted—which is why I’m swimming like a maniac.

You can watch our last live here. Our next live is at 6PM Paris time, today !
