First Day of Summer, Nantucket Plans, and My Coastal Picks This Week

I’m packing for Nantucket, staying at a new place this year (!), and sharing all the coastal goodness filling my cup this Saturday.

Hi friends,

Happy Saturday — and happy first official day of summer! It feels so good to welcome the season, and I have to say, I’m already soaking it all in. I’ve been busy packing for my Nantucket summer trip (coming up so soon!), and this time of year always brings such a sense of excitement and fresh beginnings.

I’m also loving my newly updated website right now — it’s feeling so much more like the online coastal lifestyle magazine I’ve dreamed of creating. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I’d love for you to pop over and take a look! I’ve been sharing lots of new posts each week with everything from coastal fashion and home finds to summer style tips and travel inspiration.

Today is going to be a fun one — I’m getting my hair cut and I can’t wait for it to be shorter for summer! I always feel like a fresh cut sets the tone for the season. (my haircut inspiration above from 2022)

Weight Loss Update

On a personal note, I’m excited to share that I’ve officially lost 12 pounds and I’m really starting to feel like my old self again. I’ve been walking more, eating healthier, drinking lots of water, and just focusing on taking better care of myself. It’s been such a positive change, and I’m feeling so good as I head into summer.

A Few Things I Ordered (and love)

And of course, I’ve been doing a little fun shopping as I plan my Nantucket looks! I ordered everything you see in the collage above and they’re all just perfect for the island.

• flutter sleeve top

• striped tee

• one-piece swimsuit

• packable bag

• shell earrings

• seashell studs with crystals

• starfish earrings

I’m also packing some breezy dresses, easy sandals, and plenty of classic pieces that I can mix and match on vacation.

Here are a few of my favorites I’m eyeing right now:
This white leather perforated bag — so chic and perfect for summer days
These leather jelly flip flops — I love that they feel elevated but still easy
These plaid shorts — so cute for casual afternoons or dressed up with a crisp shirt

And I’m so excited to share — I’m staying at a new place on Nantucket this year!
