Warm weather, sun-kissed skin, and blissful beach days have arrived: Summer 2023 is finally here! This season, we’ve scouted fresh trends to cover you for boat days, wedding season, casual farmer’s market runs, and everything in between. We’re not suggesting you buy a whole new closet (although we fashion-lovers at VIE can vouch for that), but instead, pick up a few new staple pieces from our favorite small businesses at 30Avenue to upgrade your wardrobe. Whether vacationing in Europe or simply dreaming of Mediterranean blues, read on for this season’s freshest trends and best finds from these beautifully curated local boutiques.

VIE’s editor-in-chief Lisa Marie Burwell joined long-time friends, singer-songwriter/Broadway star Morgan James and Sinfonia Gulf Coast music and artistic director Demetrius Fuller, in the stunning Alys Beach home of Bryan and Tina Corr for a meet and greet on May 28. James and Fuller took center stage for a patriotic summer kick-off concert at the Alys Beach Amphitheater.

When the real estate developers at Corr Group created 30Avenue, its mission was to provide Northwest Florida locals and visitors with an upscale indoor-outdoor destination for shopping, dining, entertainment, and office locations. 30Avenue has always been a go-to location for South Walton’s best restaurants, and over the past year they have continued to impress with their new additions in the culinary scene. From global cuisine to Southern comfort foods, 30Avenue boasts a generous selection of casual and fine dining options to enjoy.

The summer season is approaching, and with that comes many exciting new offerings at 30Avenue, a lifestyle-focused center located in Inlet Beach, Florida. From the moment you step foot on the stunning, palm-tree-lined premises, you’ll have access to a collection of luxury services ranging from a state-of-the-art medical spa to five-star catering for your next special event. Best of all, it's all centralized around a spacious outdoor events lawn that provides space for yoga classes, live music, yard games, and the perfect picnicking spot for you and your loved ones.
