Let’s be friends!
I’m so glad you’re here.
A little about Summer Affect — I started this blog as a creative outlet during a time when I was craving more intention and beauty in my everyday life. I’ve always believed that your surroundings should tell your story — not just look good, but feel good. For me, it’s about creating spaces and moments that leave a lasting affect — the kind that sticks with you in a personal + meaningful way.
The name Summer Affect comes from that warm, effortless feeling summer brings. I’ve always loved how the season seems to slow things down — the golden light, the breezy mornings, the inspiration that shows up in the simplest details. That feeling is what I try to carry through all seasons, in how I decorate my home, get dressed, plan a trip, + move through daily life.
Here, you’ll find a mix of what I truly love: home decor that feels elevated but livable, personal style that’s effortless but intentional, travel that inspires but is approachable + little lifestyle touches that make the everyday feel just that much more special.
This space is a reflection of me, but it’s built with you in mind — I hope it leaves you feeling inspired + excited to elevate your everyday.
Xoxo, Kelly
