An Online Coastal Lifestyle Magazine Curated by me, Desiree
Hi! I’m so happy you’re here. I’m Desiree—wife, mom, and longtime blogger who’s always felt inspired by the simple joys of coastal living. I started Beautifully Seaside over a decade ago, and today it’s grown into something really special: an online magazine that feels like a calm, happy place to visit each day.
Here I share all the things that inspire me—coastal style, thoughtful seasonal living, classic fashion, everyday beauty favorites, home ideas, and the little joys that make life feel beautiful. Think: blue and white everything, Nancy Meyers moments, fall candles, beach strolls, and the occasional find that feels way more luxe than it should.
It’s just me behind the scenes here, and I truly love creating content that feels meaningful and uplifting. I update the site daily Monday through Friday (usually 2–3 new posts each day) so there’s always something new to read when you stop by.
What to Expect
🌊 Coastal style year-round
Whether you’re decorating your home, planning a weekend look, or just want something pretty to browse while sipping coffee—this is the place for it.
🍋 Seasonal favorites
Fall candles, summer dresses, the best holiday gifts, cozy rituals—I love sharing timeless ideas that make each season feel special.
🐚 A personal touch
You’ll find personal stories here too—little updates about what I’m loving, shopping, and doing, plus fun behind-the-scenes moments with my family (and Goldie, our sweet Goldendoodle puppy).
☀️ Daily content, just like a magazine
Every weekday, I publish new posts to keep things fresh and inspiring—like having your own lifestyle magazine that feels familiar and welcoming.
