The ENC Summer Covet List

Summer looks a little different on everyone.

‍

So we asked the ENC team what they’re coveting for summer — the pieces, rituals, little luxuries, and “okay fine, I do need it” items making the season feel a little more alive. And for us, it’s natural freckles, new shoes, handmade pasta, poolside mahj, garden girl uniforms, and the tiny camera that makes every moment feel like it belongs in a scrapbook.

‍

Here’s what everyone is loving, eyeing, bookmarking, and pretending not to add to cart.

‍

Jessica

Jessica is entering summer with one very specific desire: a life that feels a little less scheduled and a little more accidental.

Think spontaneous summer concert series nights, patio lounging that turns into “should we have another?”, new ear sparkles, and shoes made for clacking until further notice.

‍

Jessica is coveting:

Summer concert series energy
Concert tickets are basically emotional infrastructure.

A patio upgrade
For the very important business of sitting outside and romanticizing the evening.

New ear sparkles
A little shine near the face never hurt anyone.

Some new shoes to twirl in
We've been revisiting an old movement friend...

‍

‍

Ellyse

Ellyse’s summer is giving natural freckles, natural wine, art supplies on the table, something delicious in the kitchen, and a cheek that looks like it caught the sun on purpose.

It’s a little French. A little family table. A little “I made this from scratch and somehow also found the perfect blush.”

‍

Ellyse is coveting:

Her cheek obsession
For that flushed, fresh, summer-face situation.

The best sunscreen to date
SPF is not optional, but it can be chic.

Sips
For summer evenings that deserve a glass of something good.

Kitchen testing
For the recipes that start as an idea and become everyone’s new favorite thing.

Watercolors for Theo
Tiny artist energy. Big summer charm.

Fresh jam for all the summer toasts
Toast deserves a seasonal personality.

‍

‍

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is calling it now: it’s a sunshine, steps, and sunnies summer.

Her list is built for walkable days, travel-size skin saves, a perfect sip, a tiny camera to catch the cute parts, and the ongoing hunt for sunglasses that feel like the one.

‍

Elizabeth is coveting:

Ballet flats for all the walking
For the “I’m just going to walk there” version of summer.

A mini skin mist for travels
For keeping the face hydrated through heat, planes, plans, and everything in between.

The next sunglass fixation
Still searching. She’ll report back when she finds her.

Her new favorite drink to sip on
Blackberry hibiscus, because summer drinks should have a little drama.

A tiny cammy to capture everything
A tiny camera for tiny moments that somehow become the whole memory.

‍

‍

Channing

Channing’s summer is split between outdoor adventures, Italian pasta dreams, cool-girl accessories, concert bandanas, and a very strong case for poolside mahjong.

Basically: hydrated, accessorized, fed, and ready to host.

‍

Channing is coveting:

The pasta maker bringing Italy home
Still dreaming about the handmade pasta she learned to make in Italy, as one should.

Her favorite electrolytes
For all the outdoor summer adventures that require both ambition and minerals.

A mixed metal ear cuff
For living fully in her mixed-metal dreams.

A summer scrunchie
Because hair up is not a style choice in summer. It’s survival.

A cool girl pair of sunnies
A necessary summer identity shift.

A floating mahj table for the pool
The kind of invention that makes you wonder why we ever played on land.

‍

‍

Marly

Marly’s summer is giving pool bag packed, concert outfit planned, and a table setting that absolutely did not happen by accident.

She’s dreaming in dusty rose mahjong tiles, hand-painted plates, fresh beach towels, bandanas for every summer concert, and the kind of bag that somehow becomes the emotional support accessory of the season.

‍

Marly is coveting:

The mahjong set of her dreams
Dusty rose tiles. Enough said.

A trip to paint more fun plates
For the summer tablescape era.

Beach towels for the pool and hopefully more beach trips
There is no such thing as too many good towels.

Concert bandanas
A summer concert essential, obviously.

The summer bag she debates buying every day
We love a summer bag. We especially love a bag that starts a daily internal negotiation.

‍

‍

Lanya

Lanya is stepping into her garden girl summer with the outfit, the glow, the post-pool wrap, the patio cups, and a body serum refill all ready to go.

It’s practical. It’s pretty. It’s a little sunkissed. It says, “Yes, I watered the plants and yes, I look good doing it.”

‍

Lanya is coveting:

The final pieces for her garden fit
The tomatoes deserve a look too.

A sunkissed summer glow staple
For keeping that tan, warm, glowy skin going all season long.

A perfect little wrap for post-pool and lake days
Easy, breezy, and immediately useful.

Patio sip cups
Because the drink tastes better when the glass is cute.

A body serum refill
Summer skin is the priority. Hydration is the assignment.

‍

The best part of a summer covet list is that it’s never really about the stuff.

It’s about the version of yourself you’re making space for.

The one who has people over.
The one who takes the walk.
The one who buys the concert ticket.
The one who eats toast with fancy jam.
The one who brings mahjong into the pool.
The one who makes summer feel less like a season and more like a tiny personal renaissance.

Around here, we’re celebrating the return of summer in every possible direction.

Less schedule. More sparkle.
More sips. More sun.
More “wait, send me that link.”
