LIFESTYLE: HABITS TO REDUCE BLOATING
Small habits can make a big difference when it comes to bloating—opt for slower meals, better hydration, more movement, and paying attention to stress levels. Your body usually wants consistency more than extreme “detoxes” or wellness trends.
FASHION: ANTI-TREND WARDROBE
Fashion is shifting away from hyper-trendy dressing and back toward “anti-trend” wardrobes filled with timeless, versatile pieces people actually rewear. These are trousers, classic jackets, quality basics, and buying less (finally)—but better. Very much like a capsule wardrobe, on repeat.
WELLNESS: HERE COMES THE SUN
Getting enough sunlight does more for you than just boosting your mood. It can seriously help regulate sleep, support energy levels, and even play a role in your mental + physical health. Sometimes something as simple as spending more time outside can make a bigger difference than you realize, so maybe put on a big floppy hat & sunglasses to take a walk outside the next time you feel the warmth.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
There's something about athleisure that actually makes you want to move and that's where lululemon wins. The fabrics feel intentional, the fits are thought through, and everything is designed to take you from a morning movement to the rest of your day, without missing a beat.
They've mastered that balance of performance and polish — the kind of wardrobe that looks put together whether you're on the mat or grabbing coffee after. Our favorites include this sleeveless polo shirt, a buttery soft flare pant, and these pleated high rise shorts.
Inspired by Fleetwood Mac, the Manson murders, and the infamous summer Percy and Mary Shelley spent with Lord Byron at a Lake Geneva castle―the birthplace of Frankenstein―The Villa will take you into its deadly legacy with an intriguing dual timeline story.
