Seashells & Sardines

Okay – so this is a very unlikely combo for a post about some looks I’m loving for this summer, but…I am into this coastal seaside Mediterranean chic laid-back vibe. Phew! That was a mouthful. Clothing with shells and marine life (like sardines and lobsters) has caught my eye recently. It could quite possibly be that I’m coming off a fantastic 10-day vacation in Maine, so that sea-life vibe currently has a chokehold on me. But I’m really loving the coastal look of clothing that feels oh-so-relaxed, and bonus points for all those symbols from some of the most chill and beautiful locations in the world. From the Mediterranean splashing up on the coast of Positano, Italy, to the Atlantic on the shores of Cape Cod, these are some of my favorite sea-inspired looks this summer. I hope you’re as giddy as I am about it all!
