Sharing the Amazon find of the year - this backyard patio set is under $2,000 and seats 8 (or even 12 if you have extra chairs)

The best part - the hidden expansion leaves inside! This table did come in multiple pieces so assembling it is required which my husband did for us. It also came with a color maintenance kit but so far this table has kept its color against the Florida sun and rain! If you’re looking for an outdoor set this season I can’t recommend this one enough

Five days in the Florida Keys and these were the pieces I reached for again and again. ☀️🌴

When I'm packing for a boat trip, I want everything to work hard:
• lightweight fabrics
• comfortable sandals
• swimsuits that can handle a full day on the water
• easy dinner outfits that don't wrinkle in a suitcase

Linking everything I packed, wore, and loved from our week boating from Cape Coral to Key West.

Here are my top 4 sunscreen brands - I pick each one for their benefits to my skin and the environment.

1. Color science flex sunscreen has become my daily foundation and sunscreen in one. It doesn’t get any easier with a one step product!

2. Vacation sunscreen is so nourishing. It doesn’t feel like you’re putting on sunscreen at all, but really lotion for your skin. When I use this, I know that my skin is actually tanning instead of burning. At the end of the day when I get out of the shower, I’m not tight but rather well moisturized after spending hours in the sun and saltwater.

3. ELTA MD sunscreen products are non-comedogenic, which is amazing for my congested, acne prone skin. This is also the face sunscreen. I have my husband use. It feels like you’re putting on moisturizer not sunscreen.

4. I really do love the smell of the alba Hawaiian sunscreen. I feel better that it’s a cleaner product for the ocean and easy to reapply once I’ve already been in the water.

Pro tip: apply all of your sunscreen butt naked before you put any bathing suit or clothing on if you’re going to spend the day on the water ! I can promise you you’ll thank me later 🤍🌴

The perfect baseball cap for summer! It’s coastal chic and sun protection all in 1 - white and light blue cap, beach hat

Coastal Vibes 🌴🤍

I’m wearing a small in this two piece @Lulus set! It’s a little heavy but worth it - and it has pockets

The shorts of summer have arrived 🤍

I am thrilled with these shorts they fit my smaller waist and accommodate my 🍑

Linking all of the things I’m packing for this year‘s trip to Key West any tropical beach vacation needs these items take it from me as someone who was born and raised in south of Florida and lives on the water!

Living on a boat, your entire vacation makes for some very specific outfit, beauty, and practical items that make it into the suitcase!

A number one thing people forget is a rain jacket. You never know what the weather is going to be like on your way down or on the way up and getting stuck on the boat getting drenched in the rain is never fun for anybody I don’t care who you are. I love my free fly rain jacket. I have it in a size medium and it’s so light and breathable, but protects me from getting drenched.

Tropical vacation check list 🤍

What I actually pack for a week boating in the Florida Keys 🌴

After doing this trip year after year, I’ve figured out the few things I genuinely won’t go without — a good sun hat, real water sunglasses, simple SPF that works, and pieces I can wear from the boat straight to dinner.

This isn’t a “perfect vacation wardrobe”… it’s what actually gets used.

I linked everything I use and rebuy every trip here 🤍

Built in bra tank I’m pretty sure this is a dupe for Abercrombie but I found it at target! It runs SO big I’m weeeing an XS 🤍 my olukai sandals are a size 9 and my shorts are a small

@Lulus Summer Haul 😍

I can always count on lulus to deliver pieces when I need a wardrobe refresh, vacation haul, or event items.

This haul is perfect for my upcoming social events, key west trip, and Napa wine country trip!

Sizes I’m wearing and whag im sizing up in:
Red Dress - Small
Tan and white dress - small but sizing up to medium
Coral dress - small
Green dress - medium
White Skirt Set - XS sizing up to small
Lime green top - Small
Striped halter top - small
White Knit top - Medium (I wanted a more relaxed fit)

I don’t know what’s happening in the universe but I have found ANOTHER pair of denim shorts for the summer!!! AND they’re on sale 🥰 I’m wearing a size small and bought both the denim and the white and I’m in love with them. The stretchy waist band is comfortable and the pockets are a plus

Easy floaty, Len shorts, perfect for pool days, resortwear, Key West trips, boating days, or just running around town! I’m seeing a size small

Can not believe I found white shorts that fit me at target yesterday AND they’re on sale 😱 I’m wearing a size 4

Also discovered this free people stretchy tank that really flatters my shape - plus it’s stretchy I’m wearing a m/l

This feels like such a great summer uniform!

I was actually so annoyed that these hose reels were the first thing jermey bought for the new house. Now a year later I have a to admit they’re amazing 🫠😅

they are so sturdy and have held up under the Florida heat like champions! We also opted for the cover to protect them and I would recommend this 10 out of 10.

As the plant lady who uses this almost dolly, I guess these are one of the splurges I have to be grateful my husband bought and he was right 😅

My work in progress moody, organic, modern, coastal office! I am so inspired by the Studio McGee office photo. Now I am trying to blend this into my own home look. Looking forward to getting my samples of the William Sonoma Radius wood color in the mail in a few days. Does anyone else order samples for color purposes?

Day 2 of wearing my summer jeans from @abercrombie 🙌🏻 let’s see how many wears they get this week!

The other thing are my olukai sneakers I LOVE these - and another pair of sandals I own. Such a comfortable shoe and for me the slip on is the ultimate chaotic but thriving girl solution 👟 I’m wearing a size 9.5 - the main issue with Ola Kai is that they’re sizing is so inconsistent so if you have a store to try them on, I would highly recommend! I sized up half a size

These are a great temporary fix for our front doors. No drilling is required! I wanted to see how it felt to attach curtains to the door vs to the frame. For $17 these linen curtains are a steal! This is the color Natural

My 5x7 ruggable rug is from COSTCO and I got it for a steal at $135! I did link the exact pattern on the ruggable website but they did not have this color wave

OMG summer jeans!!!!!! @abercrombie linen denim blend jeans that are SO light weight and breathable.

I’m wearing a size 26 regular 🤍

Lattes at home taste better and cost less 🤍 I perfected my home routine and am linking the things I use every afternoon at 2 pm to make my latte treat!

I definitely use my Phillips espresso machine four times a day. It’s been worth every single penny and I will never go back to another pod style coffee machine. (I owned a Nespresso and used it religiously for the last eight years) being able to purchase my own coffee has saved us so much money!

Way Day Deals & Dupes! I am sharing the pricing that was live YESTERDAY beware that sometimes way day prices change to make your shopping feel a little more cost savings 🤍

These are great duoes and deals for my Arhaus dining room I would describe it as coastal modern organic 😍 I especially love the detail on my light fixture

My rug size is the 6’7 x 9’3

Way Day is HERE I’m sharing all the things I love in my coastal home now up to 70% off!

In love with my new dining room rug by @Joon Loloi it’s so soft on your feet, and came in the awkward size I needed for my open concept dining room kitchen (6’7 x 9’3). The color complements my warmer wood tile floors and I love how it ties everything together so softly. It was also a great deal on @Wayfair - way day starts tomorrow 4/25 so add it to your cart today and save tomorrow!

Does anyone else just have a random half of a lemon sitting in their fruit crisper in the fridge? These fruit and veggie containers are the most useful housewarming gift I’ve ever received!

Save your half fresh cut fruit, or veggie by choosing which size container will fit and just slide on the lid

Save this if you’re researching trellis gardening! My number one piece of advice is to pre-plan your Wall so you will know how many eye hooks you will need to purchase 🤍

We started investing in our Sonos products a few years ago and would never consider another speaker system! Our Sonos move is perfect for poolside music since it’s mobile! We love the clarity and the ability to synch with the rest of our home speakers for a continuous vibe indoors and outdoors

The perfect lounge set up does exist 🤍

These lounge chairs have built in sliding tables! Don’t forget to get the covers they are worth every penny.

We’ve had these chairs for a year now and I wish I would’ve covered them earlier on. If you live in a windy area, then I would highly recommend a heavier umbrella stand as well! This one is 26 pounds and some days the umbrella does go flying 🤣

My favorite amazon umbrella - I only wish it didn’t blow away and got dented 🤣🤍

Patio set up hack ➡️ umbrella hole in your sun shelf ☀️

I’m wearing a size medium in the bathing suit 👙

My quick morning routine before a Pilates class - linking my skin routine and my favorite workout top! Someone asking me if this was born primitive - it’s AMAZON and half the price ❤️

I am wearing a size medium in the color nude and I’m definitely buying every warm autumn color 🤣

Easy dinner outfit for dining outdoors in SWFL! Linen shorts are a must and bodysuits make an outfit feel put together. Don’t forget to add your jewelry.

I’ve been living in these quince linen shorts all spring and am wearing a size medium

My bodysuit is SO cute from Abercrombie it’s a size small.

These earrings have been living in my closet and I like to bring them out to dress up my outfit 🌊 🐚

Finally found a pair of denim shorts that’s are light weight and breathable! They don’t ride up and have an adjustable cinch waist - chefs kiss! I’m wearing a size 26 in the color kiss goodbye medium wash

What I’m wearing in SWFL in April

Linen & Cotton everything 🤍

Sharing my holy grail products I use to achieve my beachy wave hair! I am in fact using a 1” barrel 🤍🤍

Not shown my shampoo: Pureology Hydrate 👌

This is my go to hair style and the curls last in our Florida heat! For reference I have thick coarse hair to start with 🥹😅

I knew that the front of our house needed a little bit of character and this white empty wall was screaming a jasmine trellis in my head. I also knew I wanted the entrance to bring a coastal calmness when people came over so a little water feature in the front was also on my vision board. I was able to pick up this fountain on Wayfair last year and it has done the job perfectly. It’s made out of 100% cement so I know it’s going to stand the test of time through Florida hurricanes! All we did was pick up a timer and we enjoy this peace and tranquility out front of our house from 8 AM to 5 PM. I’ve linked our fountain, timer, and all the tools we used to build our jasmine wall.

I did so much research for this jasmine wall. It’s very important that you don’t buy a trellis kit from Amazon because you need the eye hooks to be at least 2 inches away from the wall to allow the jasmine to breathe.
