June marks a shift – the school ends, the bags start to fill, and the first real summer of summer begins. The air is filled with a familiar combination of expectation and chaos: tied loose ends at home, travel organized, and lead to overlap between work and downtime. We lean towards all of this, ready for a long-awaited trip while packing some meaningful behind-the-scenes work.
What are we doing
- The school is gone and we will enter the first adventure of the season: heading to Greece in the summer. We will spend over three weeks on three islands (Paros, Mykonos and Spetses) and on three islands, each with a villa, ending the Amanzoe trip to the destination we both have wanted to experience for years.
- There were a lot of movement before we left. We are finalizing the last part of the new JB website, which has been quietly going on for months, finally blending together in a way that feels just right.
- Thomas and I are also investing in a new company that we believe has real goals and potential. At the same time, we started developing several early technology projects, one to support the way I work on my day job and possibly to develop into something we share more widely.
- I haven’t watched much TV this year (I’m usually reading and lying in bed early), but I’ve recently started Alarm On Netflix, this is very good. Lightweight and a little alternative – enough to keep me watching where I don’t go too far.
- Another thing filled my days: packaging. So many packaging. I already have a few pieces in my suitcase:
This tassel Terry set (top)
This tasselle suit (shorts)
This turquoise bikini
These Dinosaur Design Bracelets
Pucci’s favorites:
Backless top
mini skirt

Emporio Sirenuse works:

Pants - For the girl, I’ve packed it up:
Blue and white flowers
Crochet white pants
The shaky rainbow dress
Sweet blue dress
A piece of turquoise - I’m hosting a jewelry designer Arielle Ratner This week in Charleston, it was my first collection while collaborating on custom work. Her work is thoughtful, sculptural, but still suitable for every day to wear.
- I ordered Sakara Simplify meals before we travel. Keeping it in the refrigerator always feels like a quiet luxury, especially on crowded days. Use my code Juliabsakara Get 20% off.
What I wear
- I’ve been repeating this exercise. I’ve been very consistent with my workouts – five to six times a week, at which point I need to order another set as I’m constantly washing and redecorating:
Set the top
Set the bottom - I’ll take mine Blue and white Valentino tote bags To Greece – This was my carry-on bag throughout the summer. I love it too This similar fanatical version That’s less than $200.
- I’ve recently obtained some other works:

sunglasses I’ve been asked all the time.
