Tiles, Texture & Travel: My Portugal Mood Board

As summer winds down, I’m looking back at the places that shaped our latest mood boards. A family trip to Portugal was a big one—blue-and-white tiles everywhere, natural textures (think cork and wood), and soft, sun-washed ceramics in the prettiest blues.

I packed my SumnerEdit Flower Drop pieces and wore them on repeat. Consider this a quick travel diary + style note, so you can bring a little Portugal home, too.

Where We Went

Styling note: By day, I paired the Flower Drop Necklace with breezy linens and oversized button-downs; by night, I stacked the Flower Drop Ring for dinner.

Tablescape tip: Rinse out cute tins (hello, sardines) and reuse as mini planters or utensil cups on a tapas board—easy and fun.

Shop the Look: Laura Park “Porto”

So many of these motifs already live in our world. Peek the Laura Park Porto pieces for tile-inspired color and that breezy vibe:

And What I Wore

Portugal gave us tiles, texture, and tins. What theme should we play with next—Sicilian citrus, Greek blue-on-blue, or desert neutrals? Tell me in the comments or DM @sumneredit — your ideas might shape our next drop.
