So long, summer. You were a shimmering mirage, a fleeting spectacle — like the elusive green flash at sunset, that rare, radiant moment when nature's brilliance dances on the edge of perception. For those fortunate enough to witness it, the green flash is a breathtaking optical phenomenon that lingers just long enough to leave its mark. Born as the sun’s light fractures through the Earth's atmosphere, momentarily conjuring a viridescent halo above the horizon, it’s a second's brilliance that slips through our fingers, yet stays etched in our memories.

Though the sun has set on FLAUNT’s golden season, its rays still linger, refracted through our memories like the prism of light scattering across the sky. Our summer tableau unfolds, a montage of moments that cling like grains of warm sand to sun-kissed skin. Santa Monica transformed into a playground for beach portraits, framed by the ocean, our ever-changing canvas with each ebb and flow. Volleyballs arced through the air, paddle boards sliced across shimmering waves, and the heat embraced us as we sipped fiery rosé and tequila cocktails at the FLAUNT Beach Club. The season glowed with sand-side indulgence and golden sunsets, framed perfectly by FLAUNT’s Gold Standard issue — a fitting coda to our sun-drenched days.

Green flashes emerge on the most tranquil, warm days, when layers of air with differing densities cast shimmering illusions. The atmosphere may be shifting now, but we won’t soon forget this rich, glimmering instant. Goodbye, summer; we’re ready to chart new horizons. Where are we going now? We'll find out soon enough, but those gold-kissed moments will forever shine.
