Earlier this week, we had the good fortune to pay a visit to Serena & Lily's exquisite new shop on the east end of Long Island with Serena and Lily themselves. The store officially opens its doors Memorial Day weekend, and our sneak preview uncovered a treasure trove of beautiful, beachy finds.

While the brand's been in business since 2004, this is its very first retail location, and it's positively breathtaking. If you live in the New York area, we strongly encourage you to check out the beautiful store in person, and regardless of where you are, you can shop Serena & Lily's signature California-chic style online.

In celebration of the start of Summer — and our excitement over our afternoon with Serena and Lily — we've rounded up 10 of the brand's best Summer finds for kids. We can't think of a better way to get the entire family into the spirit of the season!

Incorporating trays into a room adds both functional and decorative elements to any space. We love that you can incorporate almost any trend, like the stylish chevron pattern into a space using trays without fully committing or breaking the bank.
