5 Tips For Decorating A Beach House
0

If there’s one thing I’m learning from staying at home in our New York City apartment during this pandemic, it’s that I would LOVE to jet off to a beach house!! Since that’s not in the cards for us, I dreamt up a little beach house decor in case you may be decorating your very own beach house.

A few of my favorite rules to follow —

1..A beach house should always incorporate stripes.

My girlfriend Allisonhas this rolling arm couch from Serena and Lilyin her house in California and I absolutely love how fresh it looks in her home! The best thing about incorporating stripes within your decor? The contrast helps hide stains or marks. Luckily Serena and Lily’s surf stripe is a performance fabric so you can have faith that it will last for a long time.

I also am a huge fan of layering stripe rugs all throughout the house — Annie Selkehas the best indoor/outdoor cotton stripe rugs that hold up really well. We have Annie’s Rugby Stripe Denim rugour dinning room!

2. Natural fiber rugsin every room of the house.

Whether your house is located on the beach or not, natural fiber rugs are great for high trafficked ares including living rooms, kitchens, entry ways and so forth. In addition to Serena and Lily’s natural fiber rugs, Pottery Barnhas a great selection at more affordable prices.

3. A beach house should always incorporate layers upon layers of white.

From white linen drapes to chairs, lamps& cocktail tables— incorporating white accents throughout every room will help achieve that easy & relaxed beach house atmosphere. Also, it’s ok to use different shades of white — it will help prevent the room from feeling too sterile.

4. Texture — Rattan, Wicker, Bamboo, Woven Shades, etc.

Adding texture such as rattan, wicker or bamboo to your beach house will instantly infuse coastal character. I love how this rattan Cape Coffee Tablelooks against the striped sofa and this Celerie Kemble natural floor lampis just adorable.

5. Natural wood elements

Bringing the outdoors in with natural wood elements will also help achieve that refined yet comfortable beach house decor. How pretty is this Harvest Dinning Tablefrom Williams Sonoma?

Anyways, that’s it for now! Take a peek at my “Get The Look” tab on the top left for similar decorating blog posts! Happy decorating. Xo. Lauren

Loungewear I’ll Be Living In For The Next Month

Happy Sunday, friends!

How is everyone holding up at home? We’ve been cooking and baking up a storm, watching a ton of movies and pretty much organizing every nook and cranny in our apartment. It’s actually been pretty productive in terms of what we’ve been able to get done around the house!

Since we’ll all be home for the next few weeks, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite sleepwear pieces! Definitely need to stock up a few more pajama sets, who’s with me?

Right now I’m loving everything from Roller Rabbit and Rails! So many great options from both brands. I also just discovered that Yumi Kim has her own pajama sets and robes in a wide variety of pretty florals. Last but not least, if you’re looking for the most comfortable pajama set ever — look no further than Eberjey.

Have a great rest of your weekend!! Xo. Lauren

What To Wear On Your Next Beach Getaway + New Brand I’m Loving: Agua by Agua Bendita
0

There’s nothing I love more than shopping for our next beach getaway. Who’s with me?! With my bachelorette party just a few months away, I’ve been searching high and low for cute swimsuits, breezy dresses & cover ups! Although I haven’t pulled the trigger just yet I’ve found so many pretty bathing suits that are currently on my radar.

Several are from a new-to-me brand that I recently discovered —  Agua by Agua Bendita. From one-pieces to floor length maxi dresses, Agua by Agua Bendita carries so many beautiful & colorful prints across their entire collection! I could seriously spend all of my money just on their swimwear & dresses! I especially love Agua’s blue and white pieces.

Other brands that are currently carrying some of my favorite styles and all worth checking out include — Mara Hoffman, Zimmerman, Faithful the Brand & Marysia.

P.s. In case you missed it, the images above are snaps from our beach vacation in the South of France two years ago! Re-sharing our itinerary right here.

Has anyone else started shopping for spring/summer yet?! Get me to summer!!!
