Happy Summer Solstice! The weather in Charlotte is ultra-dreary today (I’m not even sure we’re going to see the sun on this, the longest day), but I’ve had sunny style on the brain for months. I’ve missed bringing you these fun, seasonal wish lists, so I’m dipping my toe back in with a little roundup …

For some reason, we were blessed with what felt like an actual Spring this year (maybe as a reward for surviving the …
