INSPIRED BY THE SEA

For as long as I could remember I’ve been inspired by the sea. It’s where I get lots of inspiration for my blog, home, and how even how I dress. My closet and home are full of seaside style and I wanted to share what’s been at the top of my list of coastal favorites this year. I made sure to link lots of casual, yet refined coastal looks for you and your home that are refreshing and fun. Shop fun prints in dresses, lots of wicker, rattan, and raffia. I also included some unique accessories you may not find anywhere else. I hope you enjoy these curated picks I linked for you below. It was fun searching for them online. Enjoy!

Outfit Details:

J.Crew Seashell Print Dress (gifted) / J.Crew Rattan Clutch / J.Crew Capri Sandals / Raffia Earrings

Coquilles Cocktail Shell Napkins

I love using cute little accessories that are ocean-inspired like these clam shell cocktail napkins. They come in a set of 4 and would be perfect for any small gathering or dinner with friends. I’d love to order a set or two to have handy when quests come over for dinner. They have a scalloped trim and make the perfect gift to give a beach lover who loves unique gifts like these.

Fisher Table Lamp

This lamp with the handwoven raffia scalloped lampshade is perfect to dress or warm up any room of your home. I’m ordering a set of two for my bedroom, because they remind me of a beautiful Habour Island home in the Bahamas that I featured early on in my blogging years. I can’t wait to add these beauties to my bedroom this fall!

Cane Recycled Drinking Glasses

I love how these cane drinking glasses make every day feel like vacation. These glasses are available in two sizes- short and tall. You can also order them by them in singles or as a set of 6. The set of 6 is on sale right now and would be perfect to use all year long to get that vacation feeling while dining in the comfort of your own home

Cashmere Cropped Boatneck Sweater

This cashmere boatneck sweater is perfect for someone who loves nautical theme fashion and design. I wore something similar to this sweater on my first trip to Nantucket and it definitely was a great choice to pack. Wear this cashmere sweater now and all through fall for a beautiful and comfy cozy nautical look.

Baywood Quilt

Our favorite quilt to date! I’m been married for over 28 years and my husband says this quilt is the best one we ever had. I agree with him! It’s really dreamy and so inviting. I look forward to my good night sleep using our newest quilt. What really drew me to order this quilt was the light blue scalloped detailing on the trim! You can shop this Baywood Quilt on sale now too!

Pima Striped Pajama Set

I live in my LAKE pajamas and really enjoy sleeping in this short sleeve long pants pajama sets I ordered for my Nantucket trip. They’re so soft and luxurious! Plus, I love the nautical stripes that remind me of my favorite getaway with my husband! I wear LAKE pajamas in a small and love that they some in so many colors to choose from that are inspired by the sea!

Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne

I was on the lookout for the perfect seaside fragrance to wear daily and finally found it! My favorite fragrance that helps me feel like I’m on an escape to the seashore is this Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne. It’s been one of my favorite new fragrances I’ve been wearing this year non-stop. I wear it every day along with some of my other favorite Jo Malone colognes, because they can be layered. I highly recommend adding this scent to your collection!

Shell Hair Clip

I love wearing sea inspired accessories and found this adorable shell hair clip on Amazon. I think it’s a fun little hair accessory to keep handy on beach getaways or just to wear it around the house. It’s available in more colors too!

Cape Cod Nantucket Map Dress

This dress! You know I love Nantucket, so ordering this dress is a no brainer for me. I hope to be able to wear it for many years to come when I visit my favorite island. It’s made by Rati who is a premier print designer that J.Crew loves to work with each year. I’m wearing the same dress in a floral print while visiting Nantucket this summer and they’re super comfortable and so cute.

I linked a little bit of everything for you- home accessories, furniture, beauty, fashion, and more! It’s always lots of fun for me to find the perfect pieces we can add to our wardrobe and homes that are inspired by the sea! Let me know if you have a favorite here or if you are looking for something special that I can help you find. Or maybe you know of a specialty store that we can check out. I’m always on the lookout for small businesses that specialize in sea inspired style!
