Spellbound Summer

Summer is in full swing here in Minnesota, and we’re entering the hottest weeks of the year—the perfect time to cool off and lean into luxury, creativity, and a little bit of magic.

In this edition of my newsletter, I’m thrilled to share a stunning feature from RESIDE magazine showcasing how designers and artists are transforming swimming pools into sculptural showpieces. These aren’t just pools—they’re statements of style and serenity. 

Dive in! 💦 

To set the mood, I’ve paired this visual inspiration with two picks for your mind and ears in this week’s Rhythm & Reads:

📖 The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (out July 15) is one of my most anticipated books of the year. A chilling, multigenerational tale about witches, secrets, and feminine power, it’s gothic fiction at its finest—and from one of my favorite Mexican authors.

🎶 Submarine, the most recent album by The Marías, is lush, introspective, and cool as the deep end. Born from heartbreak and healing, its dreamy tracks are the perfect soundtrack for summer reading, late-night drives, or simply drifting.

Together, these elements capture what I love about summer: reflection, connection, and inspiration in unexpected places.
