Pick Your Player: Which Summer Muse Are You?
Dear Reader,
Summer brings something out in all of us.
Some become barefoot herbalists who treat compost like a love language. Others commit to chilled rosé and table linens like it’s a moral code. A few just want to wear linen and be left alone.
This isn’t a personality test. It’s not astrology. It’s definitely not science. Just a wildly unscientific guide to who we become when the days get longer and the sun returns to our skin like an old friend.
Some wear boxers. Some carry asparagus baskets like Birkin bags. Some have big feelings about outdoor furniture.
Pick your player. Or don’t. You might be all six by August.
The Garden Witch
Treats compost like a love language. Forages, never buys a bouquet.
Once made her own bug spray “just to see if she could.” Possibly barefoot right now.
Carries: a basket, pretty shears, and the smug glow of someone who knows how to propagate rosemary.
The Alfresco Enthusiast
Has strong opinions about folding chairs. Owns seven types of citrus juicers.
Will eat dinner outside even during wildfire season.
Carries: a linen tablecloth, chilled rosé, and very strong feelings about glassware.
The Euro Muse
Vacation is a personality trait. Walks to the market for a single tomato.
Calls it a “bather,” not a swimsuit.
Carries: a baguette, a scarf, and zero emotional baggage.
The Cool Tomboy
Looks like she just rolled out of bed—but in a hot way.
Wears SPF 50 and still somehow gets a tan. Never overdressed, never stressed.
Carries: iced coffee and a denim jacket that belongs to no one anymore.
The Coastal Minimalist
Owns four cotton knits, all white. Makes salad dressing from scratch and has thoughts on olive oil sourcing. Considers beige a primary color. Looks impossibly good in a linen set and insists her signature scent is just soap and air.
Carries: a tote the size of a carry-on and unwavering opinions about which salt belongs on a tomato.
The Soft-Serve Maximalist
A walking dopamine hit. Wears heavy earrings in heatwaves and dares you to say something. Thinks SPF is an accessory and applies it like highlighter.
Carries: four lipsticks she may or may not share, and a novelty beach towel that could double as wall art.
Megan! I absolutely adored this post. So creative and fun. Just love you!
Both hilarious & wildly accurate! A favorite
