May has arrived – and with it comes that irresistible urge to head outside, breathe in the sweet spring air, and add a touch of beauty and lightness to everything around us. The days are getting longer, the sun is giving us a gentle morning kiss, and the birds are hosting their daily open-air concert. In short: it’s the perfect time for a little style refresh – for ourselves and for our homes (or balconies!).

Whether you’re strolling through blooming meadows, nibbling on the season’s first strawberries, or giving your living space a spring makeover – I’ve gathered a delightful collection of inspirations and products just for you. This curated May moodboard is full of charming pieces that feel tailor-made for the season – all with that extra dash of vintage flair, of course!


1. Floral Dresses & Breezy Skirts – Made for May Walks

A wide-brimmed hat with a bow, vintage parasols, retro sunglasses, or a cute market-style basket bag that looks like it came straight from a French village – these accessories are like a vacation for your outfit. And if you’re a stickler for authentic vintage style: pastel nylons aren’t just for cooler months – they work beautifully in spring and summer too!
