Welcome to my very own wishlist for June 2025!
June is here – and with it, that very specific feeling: anything goes, nothing is necessary, but the main thing is the sun on your face. I don’t know about you, but from the first warm day onward, I automatically feel more in the mood for everything. I want to get out, meet people, try out new outfits, listen to music, dream, and make plans.
And because I know many of you feel the same way, here’s my monthly dose of inspiration: things that make my heart beat faster in June, that give me little escapes from everyday life and remind me of what summer does best – lightness.
The scent of summer
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68
One spray and voila: barefoot inside, somewhere between tropical blossoms and a warm wooden deck. For me, this scent is the epitome of wanderlust.
It smells sweet but not sticky, floral but not too girly – more like a sunset by the sea, when the air is still warm on your skin and soft music is playing somewhere in the distance. I use it not only as a body mist, but also as a hair perfume or room spray – because sometimes the feeling of vacation just has to be in the air. So a must have on my june wishlist.

My travel buddy:
Weekender Bag by Kapten & Son
Admittedly, I’m a little in love with this bag. The look? Urban chic with a touch of „I’ll be back in a minute.“ Perfect for spontaneous weekends with friends, day trips into the countryside, or simply as a stylish upgrade to the classic gym bag.
What I particularly like: It’s not only pretty, but also super practical. Lots of compartments, a sturdy zipper, and durable material—this thing can take a beating. And yes, it looks really good on Instagram photos, too. 😉 add to the wishlist

SPF but make it chic
Ultra Violet Queen Screen + Glow Drops
Sunscreen is my personal daily essential – whether it’s midsummer or a cloudy spring day. And I’ll be honest: I’ve tried a lot of things, but Queen Screen has won my heart (and my face). It’s light, has a subtly floral scent, and gives my skin that fresh glow that looks like „I had 9 hours of sleep and a detox weekend“ – even if that wasn’t always the case.
And here’s the best part: Ultra Violette’s Glow Drops top it all. I mix them with my day cream or foundation in the morning, and in seconds I look more awake and somehow… happier.
Reading material for your balcony:
“A Game of Fate” by Scarlett St. Clair
Okay—deep breath—I’m OBSESSED.
If you, like me, have a weakness for Greek mythology, bad-boy gods, and spicy romance: Run, don’t walk, and get this book.
„A Game of Fate“ is Hades‘ perspective on his love story with Persephone—and yes, it gets steamy. But it’s also emotional, dark, philosophical, and just incredibly well-written. I love how Scarlett St. Clair modernizes the mythology while still maintaining that mystical depth. For me, it’s the perfect mix of fantasy, romance, and genuine reading pleasure.

Bikini love since day 1
Ninty-9 Swimwear
There are some brands that accompany you almost like a personal project – and Ninty-9 is exactly that for me. I’ve followed them from the beginning, and each new model makes me a little prouder of what they’ve built. Definitely a must have on my wishlist for june.
The cuts are clean, timeless, yet always with a twist. Whether it’s ribbed fabric, asymmetrical straps, or small gold details – Ninty-9 manages to elevate simple swimwear so that you immediately feel confident. I have my current favorite model in sage green – it goes perfectly with tanned skin and an iced coffee in hand.
(Extra) nice to have:
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
I know I mention this product all the time, but it’s simply the holy grail for well-groomed lips. Especially when I don’t feel like wearing lipstick but still want to look fresh, this balm is a lifesaver.
It smells like vanilla dreams and nourishes with shea butter and other ingredients – all without that annoying sticky feeling.
And yes: I now have three of them. #notsorry
Sound on:
Music for a good mood on the go
I don’t know what it is, but as soon as the sun shines, I’m back in full „Happy Girl Walking Through the City“ mode.
My Spotify playlist for June has everything I need: light indie pop vibes, a bit of nostalgic Y2K disco charm, and the occasional French track to dream to.
A few highlights?
And what’s on your June wishlist?
Feel free to send me your summer must-haves, book recommendations, or your personal feel-good song – I love getting new inspiration from the community.
Until then: Don’t forget sunscreen, wear big sunglasses, apply lip balm – and enjoy the summer to the fullest.
Xoxo, Vani
