my trip to LA last week left me desperate to get back to the beach and sunny weather. for me, beachy themes tend to run to two extremes: cool, mediterranean blues and rich warm tones. if ac and i ever win the lottery and end up with a beach home somewhere i’d love to play with both color stories and create a beach environment that’s cool and relaxing and then one that embraces the summer heat and goes spicy and bold. so today i’m feeling products that work for either theme….

that turquoise blue of that plastic basket is beautiful.
Lovely pieces. I really long for the summer now!
I love the jewelry pieces, the shell earrings at the top and the turquoise ring below. I love coral jewelry from Croatia too. I have lots of it. I’m a sucker for natural water materials in my jewelry. love it!
That Hable bag would be great for toting sunscreen, towel, and magazines. I dream of the beach.
Oh, Oh, Oh!!!! I am loving your beach finds! Especially the turquoise ring:)
This is the topic I’ve been searching for! Please expand on this post – how can I do beachy / coastal style without it being kitschy? We are repainting an accent wall navy with a hint of green and I have some blue/green accents and a big ole hunk of fake white coral. I’ve tried to stay away from the obvious sea shell, florida decor. How do you do sophisticated, yet welcoming, beachy decorating? Thx
Oh, so many lovely things Grace!
