aka what I read when I want to feel expensive 🧖🏾♀️🥂|| if you’ve ever wanted to read something that smells like sea breeze, looks like vintage Ralph Lauren, and tastes like a $17 matcha, this list is for you. these books are full of beach houses, generational wealth, prep school secrets, old money drama, and just the right amount of quiet luxury. they’re the ones I pack in my tote when I want to look effortlessly chic while sipping lemonade on a porch swing or pretending my backyard is in Montauk.
