Yes. Four dollars. In an era where “affordable luxury” basically feels extinct, this might be the chicest travel flex of the summer. The partnership includes six bookable stays across the country, but naturally, the Los Angeles “Wild Card” house is the one we’re most excited for. Tucked into the Hollywood Hills, the property feels less like a themed rental and more like the kind of architecturally cool house you’d save to your Pinterest board under “future dream home.” The space is drenched in natural light with multiple connected balconies overlooking Downtown LA, creating that effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that everyone wants but only a handful of homes actually pull off well.

From everyday sneaks to bold sandals and mules, we’ve got looks that work for any occasion that you’ll be fawning over all summer. Take a look at the cutest summer shoes here. Chic Yet Functional – Archies Flip Flops Flip flops are no longer just a beach-day afterthought: they’ve stepped confidently into the realm of elevated essentials. We’re calling it now: Archies Flip Flops are the understated staple redefining casual luxury, blending minimalist design with all-day support in a way that feels both intentional and effortless. Sleek enough to pair with linen sets or an oversized button-down and vintage denim, they bring a refined ease to even the most off-duty looks.

Long gone are the days when you need to wait for a pool party invite, or have to book an expensive and lengthy vacation just to lounge, take a dip and get some sun. Many of LA’s best (and fanciest) hotels now offer day passes to their pools. You pay a small fee, show up, and the day is yours to sip a watermelon juice mocktail while being treated as though you are a VIP guest we know you are.
