Where Spring Meets Summer
Consider this your guide to a beautifully styled month
May arrives with a quiet shift. The light lingers a little longer, layers become lighter, and getting dressed feels easier, more intuitive. This is the moment to refine what you already own while thoughtfully introducing what’s next. Think effortless silhouettes, softened structure, and pieces that move seamlessly from day to evening, city to getaway. Consider this your invitation to step into the season with clarity, confidence, and a wardrobe that feels entirely your own.
Give the gift of style as we step into spring—treat someone to a subscription to The Riot Revue. From seasonal trends to exclusive perks and curated shopping lists, it’s the ultimate style upgrade delivered monthly. A chic surprise they’ll actually use.
STYLE RIOT TIPS & FASHION TRICKS
Style Tip: Snap, Crackle, Pop of Color!
May is the perfect moment to introduce a single, intentional pop of color into your wardrobe. Keep your base neutral—cream, white, black, or soft denim—and let one piece do the talking. A saturated knit draped over the shoulders, a bold sandal, or a striking handbag instantly shifts your look into the new season without feeling overdone. It’s an effortless way to bring energy and freshness to what you already own, while keeping everything polished, refined, and entirely considered.

YOUR MONTHLY CLOSET CLUTTER GUIDE
Planning a summer vacation? We are so excited to share our favorite packing essentials - making you want to pull outfits (and put them away when you return).
First, create a standard checklist of items to bring on nights away and utilize an app like Cozi to create a checklist you can refer to over and over again. This makes packing at your home easy, but also gives you a good frame of reference for packing for the return trip.
Then, take photos of the outfits you plan to wear (bonus points if you create outfits where items are mixed and matched allowing you to potentially pack less). Ultimate bonus points if you utilize Style Riot to create vacation flat-lays for you.
Finally, consider Packing Cubes or rolling your clothes to minimize wrinkles and maximize space. These little guys are an absolute game-changer. Now you can sit back and vacation wrinkle-free!
Your home deserves the best, and The Baer Minimalist delivers functional, stylish organizing solutions tailored to every need. Stuck on what to do in your space? Explore our product picks or book a session to give your space the attention it deserves.

JoAni Johnson, Model and Jewelry Designer
“Johnson has lived more lives than a bodega cat. A quintessential and stoic New Yorker, she was born and raised in Harlem, and hung out at Studio 54 during Warhol’s heyday decked out in Stephen Burrows.” In a fashion industry historically obsessed with youth, model JoAni Johnson reminds us that true style has no expiration date. Her story is a striking example of how confidence, individuality, and presence only deepen with time — challenging outdated beauty standards and proving that elegance becomes even more compelling with age.” Read the full article here.

Freyja Lee, Artist in partnership with ceramicist Tilly Young
“There is something undeniably transportive about the work of artist Freyja Lee and potter Tilly Young. Together, the pair create richly detailed ceramic pieces that feel steeped in folklore, mythology, and ancient storytelling. Hand-painted with flowing lines, mystical figures, wild creatures, and touches of luminous gold, each vessel feels both deeply personal and entirely otherworldly — like a modern heirloom pulled from a dream. Their work is a beautiful reminder that functional objects can also hold magic, symbolism, and soul.” Read the full article here.

A Screaming Blast by Rebecca Gardner
One of Style Riot’s forever favorite go-to sites, House & Parties, is beautifully celebrated in Rebecca Gardner’s book, A Screaming Blast, which showcases her legendary fêtes and wildly imaginative entertaining style. Because truly, nothing is more fun — or fabulous — than a beautifully executed party, and Rebecca is nothing short of a genius: the quintessential experiential hostess with the mostess and a true savant in the glittering world of pop, fizz, and clinking glasses.
