Happy summer Friday everyone! This tee I’m wearing is a super fun way to end the week! I want to share some new changes to Beautifully Seaside. First of all, you may have noticed that within the last two weeks I haven’t shared many collages. While I enjoy making them, I felt like it was time to move on from them and create more content using photography. I feel like I’m able to share more of my personal style in photography, however I will continue to post my Looks I Love collage once a week. I hope you enjoy the new content that my husband/photographer and I will be creating together. I’m super excited about it and pray you enjoy the new posts as well. Thank you so much for following along!

Love this idea. The photos are amazing and as you say more personal. I love the way you style your looks and i get more inspiration from seeing how you wear the pieces. It brings your blog to life. It’s just annoying we don’t have a Nordstrom and some of the other shops you visit in London UK. Although if we did I wouldn’t have any money left….. haha
Good luck. Xx
Thank you Jackie for your feedback! Your the sweetest! I’m so excited that you love the idea of more outfit photos. Thank you so much for visiting me all the way from London! I would love to visit there one day soon! XO
I am SO glad you are making this change! The collages are always pretty but to be honest, I rarely look at them beyond the large picture. The photos of the clothes on you are so much more helpful and the main reason I follow the blog!
Thank you so much for this feedback Janice! Actually, I was feeling the same way about the collages and that’s why I wanted to make a change to do more photographed posts. Thank you again to the feedback! I value your honest opinion. Have a great week! XO
It’s all beautiful and creative inspiration!
Thank you Leann! I so happy you like the idea!
Great Shirt!
Thank you Lisa! It’s super soft. XO
Looks great, love the photography!
Have a lovely weekend and keep up the great work!

Thank you Leslie! I really appreciate it! XO
I love this change. It’s always nice to see how the clothes look on. It doesn’t hurt anything either that you are as gorgeous on the outside as you are on the inside.
Awww! Thank you Leslie! That was very sweet of you of to say. I’m so happy you like the new change. XO
Love the top and beautiful pics!!
Thanks Doreen! Hope you have a great week! XO
I love the idea. You look wonderful in everything you share with us, the scenery is beautiful and your husband does a great job photographing everything. I have never been to the Keys but we are tentatively planning a drive there next year. I have an 11 year old shih tzu and he goes wherever we go. We live in Georgia so it will be quite a long drive. We plan to sight see along the way. Also, every time you mention Islamorada I think of the series ‘BLOODLINE’. I believe it was filmed there. Have a great weekend.
Hi Peggy! Thank you for your sweet comment! Yes, that show was filmed there at one of the beach houses on the property. I never saw the show, but my readers recognized the property in my photos. There were times I couldn’t photograph there because they were filming. Definitely make Islamorada one of your stops and have lunch or dinner at Morada Bay, Pierre’s, or the Island Fish Company. They’re all on the same property pretty much. Have a beautiful week! Xo
Great beach outfit.
Thank you sweet Sandra! Xo
You’re beautiful!!! I love seeing your outfit posts just like this. Keep ’em coming!
Thank you Kelly! You’re so kind! Xo
Love the new blog changes. You look great in everything! Your husband takes great photos and the scenery can’t be beat.
Thank you Deb! We do have fun together taking the photos. Have a beautiful week! XO
Love the blog changes! You are a lovely photo subject and I always love the outfits you are wearing! I do have one small inquiry though (and I don’t know how easy or difficult this would be with links). Instagram stories is my favorite thing on social media to watch and I have bought a lot of my favorite fashion and home items from bloggers who are using the Swipe Up feature (perhaps too much $$ LOL). I noticed you prefer to always swipe us over to your blog as opposed to the actual item to add to cart. Once I swipe to a blog post, I have to scroll or click a few more times to get to the item. When I have time, it’s OK, but it is nice to just go boom there it is and add to cart. I don’t know the specifics of links and how hard it is to tag them on the go but thought I’d mention that. Thank you for always posting beautiful inspiration for us!!
Thank you so much for this feedback Mary-Irene! It means a lot to me that you said this because I used to swipe up to the link, but changed that back in May. I was wondering what my readers would like to see there and you just answered that question for me. So today (Mon. Aug. 6) I’ll start sharing the direct links for items. Let me know what you think when you see them. I value your opinion. Thank you again! Have abeautiful week! XO
well you photograph so well, it is a no brainer!
Ha ha! Thank you Suzie! I’m not sure about that, but I receive your beautiful compliment. Thank you again! XO
