A preview of August: Embracing Calm
A preview: After the flurry of July, we embrace August, a month of transition and reflection. Here's a preview of what’s in store for Rubisnacks Barcelona this August.
Setting Intentions
This morning, I attended a serene yoga and journaling session at Sarana Studio. We discussed the new moon's transition and its significance in marking new beginnings. Whether or not you follow moon cycles, it's a beautiful way to reflect and set intentions for the upcoming period. The theme was about being open to the magic of the world and accepting the joy it offers. To me, this means creating space and allowing moments of silence in our lives to appreciate what truly matters.
Amidst our daily cacophony of tasks and obligations, it's easy to miss the beauty and magic before us. Thus, August will be dedicated to honoring space and transition.
August: Space and Transition
Following July's lively pace, August comes as happy foil - the bit of space to relax, reflect, and prepare for the busy months ahead. It’s the perfect time to focus on wellness and reconnect with activities that bring you joy.
This month, as many escape to holiday spots, I'm finding joy in cool summer nights with friends, sunrise runs along the beach, and impromptu mountain trips. It’s all about creating space for connection and inspiration. I’ll also be sharing outfit ideas and styling tips to help you make the most of our new collection, ensuring you feel both comfortable and stylish in every setting.
Anticipating August
Here are the highlights of what I’m looking forward to this month:
- In the coming weeks, our new collection should arrive from my factory here in Barcelona and we’ll make them available for immediate purchase. I’m so excited to see how you like the new coordinate sets and colors.
- Street photoshoot with Rubisnacks friend and fashion photographer, Tatyana Kizeeva
- Connecting with new stores that will stock our collection
- Putting together some outfit ideas for the latest collection
- Compiling the behind-the-scenes blog for you all - it’s a fun way to look back on the month through images and share my creative process with you
- Discovering new co-working spots around the city and enjoying the aircon
and some non-work related…
- Long, meditative runs at dusk listening to the Rubisnacks Summer Playlist
- Sunrise walks at the beach
- Discovering new cafes (and of course, taking more flat white aesthetic photos)
- Getting back into my yoga practice (it’s fallen by the wayside these past few months)
Above is a new set I'm testing out - coordinate printed set with shorts, featuring the Rorschach print. What do you think?
What are you looking forward to this coming month? I’d love to hear your plans and aspirations.
Rubisnacks Barcelona Summer Jams Playlist
Last but not least, music always inspires me to move and is a fundamental part of how I experience the world. Here is a playlist of songs that are currently on repeat. A mix of ethereal 70's inspired jams with an underlying island vibe and afrobeats sprinkled in.
