AN ISLAND STATE OF MIND
Our Creative Director Sophie has spent the past few months with her family and a close-knit group of friends in her hometown of St. Thomas, USVI. These photographs she took of her quaranteam dressed in our new arrivals are sure to inspire summer vibes. Will they also make us jealous? Yes! But are we ready for some fun in the sun, too? Definitely. These pieces look just as good in your backyard as they do on a tropical beach, so dive in and bring home some paradise.
A BUG’S LIFE
We hopped in a vintage VW bug to head into town – in this case historic Charlotte Amalie, full of colorful buildings. And who doesn’t like to match their outfit to their surroundings?
BEHIND THE SCENES
The port town of Charlotte Amalie was settled in the mid 1600s and maintains much of its historic charm. Last owned by the Danish, the Virgin Islands boast unique Danish-Caribbean architecture.

Meet Steve, owner of the adorable pistachio bug.
Easy summer chic starts with the perfect white dress.
This vintage ride dates back to 1963!
ART IMITATES LIFE
Fianna is a photographer, painter, graphic designer, and entrepreneur. We invited ourselves over to this studio to admire this renaissance woman as she worked.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Born and raised in the Virgin Islands, Fianna’s favorite subjects are her gorgeous natural surroundings. Behind her in the studio are paintings by St. Thomas fine artist Shansi Miller.
SUNSET PICNIC
The quaranteam takes advantage of its insider knowledge to gather on a hidden treasure of a beach for an evening of cocktails, bocci and tasty bites.
WE SHIRT YOU NOT
The shirt dress is the perfect summer staple. For everything from working from home to back-deck BBQs, it’s easy and elegant.
A SHORE THING
We’re loving easy, breezy stripes, eyelet and plaid for a summer evening in the sand.
BEHIND THE SCENES
This crew consists of brothers and sisters, nieces, and old friends who have known each other for over 20 years. The whole team lives on St. Thomas.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Cy, left, is an Olympic sailor and boat captain who now owns his own charter boat business. Malik is a trader at a hedge fund. These two have known each other since elementary school.
LIFE’S A BEACH
A new day, a new beach, fresh stripes and loads of color.
NEW BRAND ALERT
Introducing Fianna Swim. Designed by (you guessed it) Fianna, these suits are triple lined and made from recycled plastic collected from the ocean. (What can’t she do??)
DECK DELIGHTS
Why is a cocktail so much better when enjoyed outside with a breeze? This crew is always a fan of game night, and the last few months have been no exception. We join this seaside get-together to watch the sun set.
STITCH FIX
Is it even summer without embroidery (and rose)?? We’re loving the pop of white in this elegant embroidered dress.
DINNER WINNERS
This quaranteam knows how to dress up, even if it’s for a night in. We head to one of Charlotte Amalie’s most historic homes for apertifs and dinner with a view.
NEW BRAND ALERT
Introducing Rixo, a London-based company that combines original hand-painted prints and timeless silhouettes to flatter every woman.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Malik and Shavon met in high school, but it took them until just last year to tie the knot!
"Shooting this guide was a blast - I got to hang out with friends and show off this gorgeous place I call home. Thanks for following along!"
