There’s something magical about summer in the city.
Whether you're strolling Ossington in Toronto or soaking in the sunshine on Miami’s beaches, this season is all about making everyday moments feel like a getaway. Think outdoor lunches that turn into golden-hour dinners, iced lattes with your best friends/sisters, and a little glam tucked into your bag- because we never know what summer may bring. Let’s break down our favorite ways to elevate and romanticize city life this summer:
Morning Rituals
There’s a romance in the routine: iced almond milk latte, oversized sunnies from 6 By Gee Beauty, and a good podcast to start the day. It’s the chicest way to get your steps in early and your mindset right for the day ahead.
Our favorite morning coffee shops:
Miami: Maman Coffee – iconic, chic, and always buzzing.
Toronto: The Company We Keep, Bomou, XO Bisou – the perfect start to your day.
Outdoor Dining Is A Love Language
Dining al fresco never disappoints. From hidden garden gems to rooftop terraces, the vibe is all about sun-kissed skin, spontaneous afternoons, and shared aperitivos. Luckily for Miami, they get to enjoy this season all year long.
We're sharing a list of our go-to patios/outdoor seating options below:
Miami:
Mandolin: A charming Mediterranean bistro perfect for an extended lunch.
Uchi Ko: A sleek, modern Japanese restaurant that just opened a new location right beside our studio!
Toronto:

Summer Uniforms We’re Loving
City summers are about comfort, cool fabrics, and feeling confident. Your outfit should take you from coffee runs to al fresco dining all while having a little fun with fabrics + colors.
Our Summer Staples from 6 By Gee Beauty:
Linen everything
Big carry-all bags
Bold colorful prints
Games Are The New Night Out
Sometimes the most romantic summer nights are low-key. Grab a puzzle or bananagrams, queue up your favorite playlist, and sip on something refreshing (we’re loving Happy Aging with soda water).
Want to strike the perfect balance between low-key and lively? Catch a summer sporting event—like tennis at the National Bank Open in Toronto, on until August 7 or a Jays + Marlins game (August 22nd).
