Our coquette summer theme is already underway, and with it comes the first playlist of the season. Summer is the best time of the year to seer a new song into one’s memory, and it will always come back with the sweetness, and sometimes the melancholy, of what that summer would end up being. In this case, all of this music is new to me, and it’s time to make some new summer memories.
The coquette vibe, according to those in-the-know, is a dreamy state of ultra-romantic yearning, innocently filled with unfulfilled desires and hints of romantic entanglements that may or may not work out. Emi and Cameron lended their ears and recommendations for most of these cuts, and I sequenced them in a way that sounded right to my virgin coquette ears. This is only the beginning – there are two more to come…

Give a few of these a spin, ideally in this sequence to give you the closest approximation to what our home will sound like over the next few weeks. Rather than a single big coquette party, we shall be hosting several smaller coquette events. IYKYK, and if you don’t you probably won’t get the invite. Turns out a coquette isn’t all softness and bend…
