MDS Favorites: May 2025

May marks the beautiful transition from spring to summer. April showers have brought an abundance of blooms—flowers in shades of pink, coral, and yellow burst to life against a lush backdrop of green grass, leafy trees, blue skies, and the sweet sound of bluebirds singing.

This month, my muse is Tory Burch and her effortlessly layered world—from her traditional Southampton home, rich with color, print, Iksel papers, and bohemian spirit, to her serene beach house in Antigua, the former home of Bunny Mellon, filled with wicker, bamboo, and timeless antiques.

For fashion, inspiration is flowing from my current trip to Marrakech. I’ve been living in linen tunics, flowing caftans, stripes, straw hats, and sandals —the perfect uniform for warm days under the Moroccan sun. I’m also captivated by Majorelle Blue, the iconic cobalt hue of Marrakech, echoing the sea and sky.

Everywhere, there’s a whisper of citrus in the air—a fresh, zesty note that feels like summer’s perfect prelude. Which brings me to my latest launch: Mark D. Sikes for Pottery Barn—a collection that celebrates the start of summer and all the joy of citrus.
