If you’ve ever wished you could bottle up that coastal weekend feeling—you know, the one where you have nowhere to be, your house smells like sea salt and sunshine, and your outfit makes you feel like you just stepped out of a Nancy Meyers movie—this post is for you.
Here’s how I’ve been making my weekends feel like a mini coastal escape lately, right from home (no ferry ride required).
P.S. If you love beautiful coastal styles, then don’t miss out on this warm-weather coastal trend I’m loving this summer!
HOW TO MAKE EVERY WEEKEND FEEL LIKE A COASTAL GETAWAY
1. Slip Into Your Favorite Coastal Pajamas
First things first—cozy pajamas. I wear my LAKE Pajamas every single day and never go on a trip without them. They’re soft, pretty, and make the morning feel instantly more relaxing. I’m especially loving their new striped pant set—so cute!
2. Make Your Home Smell Like the Beach
The Pura Mini has been a total game changer for me. It’s app-controlled (so smart!) and fills the room with the most beautiful coastal-inspired scents during the specific times that you want. Think sea breeze, salt air, and a little hint of citrus.
3. Style Your Kitchen Like a Beach Bungalow
I like to keep my kitchen feeling light and breezy—just like a little beach house. A few striped napkins, a pretty rattan tray, and a simple white bowl filled with lemons or peaches? Yes please. It’s those little touches that make it feel special.
4. Make Something Fresh + Pretty To Snack On
We’re all about the easy, light meals on weekends. I love pulling together a simple snack board or fresh salad. My daughter-in-law makes the most gorgeous charcuterie boards, and I’m always inspired by how she layers it all together.
5. Dress Like You’re Heading To a Seaside Café
Even if I’m staying home, I still like to wear something that makes me feel cute. I ordered this Sézane Rama Dress in the prettiest blue embroidered floral and honestly—it’s a dream. Perfect for a coffee run, farmer’s market stroll, or just feeling a little more you. I also love this new embroidered mini dress that just arrived this week!
6. Read a Book That Takes You Away
A quiet moment with a good book is my favorite weekend treat. I always go back to Elin Hilderbrand when I want to be swept away to Nantucket—her books feel like summer in paperback form. And I also love Amanda Lindroth’s new Island Dreaming book. I got to meet her in real life in her gorgeous apartment in Palm Beach last year! Talk about coastal living!
7. Enjoy a Sunset Moment
Right before dinner, we love taking Goldie out for a walk or sitting outside to watch the sunset. It’s such a simple ritual, but it feels like a reset. Maybe, I’ll even bring out a little rosé…
A little reminder…
You don’t need a passport—or even a weekend away—to bring those peaceful coastal vibes into your life. It’s all about slowing down, making things a little more intentional, and surrounding yourself with the things you love.
Here’s to coastal weekends, anytime you want them!
