Summer Vibes
& the Living’s Easy
It’s officially summertime—the perfect opportunity to take a little “Me” time by the pool (or anywhere that floats your boat) and reflect on all you’ve accomplished so far this year. There’s nothing better than summer R&R to give us a fresh perspective and a sunnier attitude.
Pull up a lounge chair, grab a snack or a fruity drink, and be inspired by some of our current happiness makers.
Heading to ENGAGE! 23 in Paris? (Si Jaloux!) Stroll your way through Saint Germain and cool your baguettes off with a visit to the charming Musee Maillol to see “Elliott Erwitt: A Retrospective.”
A tribute to one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, the exhibit features 215 of Erwitt’s humorous and thought-provoking photographs.

Raining on your beach day? Pour yourself a Cosmo and binge a TV show or two. And Just Like That recently dropped its second season on HBO, oh,excuse us—we mean Max, and while it’ll never be as good as the original (Rest in Prada, Samantha), it’s still pretty satisfying for those die-hard fans out there.
Itching for some nostalgia? Re-watch a few of the classic summer episodes from the original Sex and the City, like“Twenty-Something Girls Vs. Thirty-Something Women,” where the ladies take the jitney to a Hamptons party full of 20-somethings, and Charlotte gets the gift that keeps on giving 🦀. Another steamy throwback is “Boy, Interrupted,” where Samantha pretends to be a member (Annabelle Bronstein) of SOHO House for pool privileges during a heat wave.
When it's hot outside, there's no better place to escape the sun than sitting in the dark! The summer blockbuster is back, and we're dancing around like Ann Reinking singing “Let's Go to The Movies.” Looking for some visual eye candy? Greta Gurwig’s Barbie movie, Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, and Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse are bringing the aesthetic wow factor this season.
In the mood for a classic reboot? Let The Little Mermaid be part of your world, or watch Harrison Ford bring back his swashbuckling smolder and solid fear of snakes in Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny.

We’re giving a shout out to our Editor’s Edge client, colleague,and witty friend, Wendy Kay of Birds of a Feather, for her recent brand messaging glow-up. Through our signature Deep Dive, we developed a comprehensive brand strategy blueprint. Guided by the blueprint, we then crafted custom copy for her website refresh in the works.
Wendy's request when commissioning Editor’s Edge? Make it sound like her, keep it simple, and nothing cutesy.
Luckily - clear, confident, and concise copy is kinda our thing.😎 Incorporating Wendy's signature sass and slipping in wizardly easter eggs on the Approach page was simply a bonus for us!
