A Sea Salted Check-In...

Anchor




Hello loves! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week. I'm so sad to not have had regular posts up lately. My husband and I are in the midst of a move and up to our eyeballs in U-Haul boxes. I'm hoping to carve out more time for my favorite little space in the blogosphere and get back to sharing what I love with you all on a daily basis. Speaking of things I love...how great are all these nautical spring/summertime finds?! I could not love these more and am quite certain they'll be added to my new closet, new bar cart, new bookshelves...let's just say I'm ready to unpack and get back to business!
If you're not already, follow along for daily updates on Instagram @TheSeaSaltedBlonde 
You can be certain that my mind is reeling with ideas for decorating our new place. I'm excited to unpack wedding gifts that have been kindly stowed away at each of our parents homes. Navy and gold place settings, I'm coming for you!!! I'm already planning dinner party tablescapes in my head (and on Pinterest...pin with me at The Sea Salted Blonde!) and scheming up how I'll share it with you all on here! If you've been following along you can probably guess that my home décor is also coastal, traditional-ish, preppy, New England....navy.
Just so happens the theme of our wedding last July was, you guessed it- coastal New England with a Love Anchors The Soul theme...navy, ivory and accents of gold. Very coastal, very New England, very me :)As wedding season is upon us, I'm excited to share our wedding from last summer in an upcoming post or two. I'm literally giddy just thinking about it!
I have an abundance of sea-salted goodness in store for you. Get ready to dive in!

Birds of a Feather

My husband and I ventured out to a local arboretum & gardens on a warm afternoon this past Sunday. We went on a beautiful stroll and scouted out a picnic spot with some feathered friends who were also taking in the amazing weather. I broke out my bright colors and some Lilly to celebrate the sunshine.
Links to shop my casual, comfy look are below :)

Get The Look: Kate The Great

Kate The Great



The perfect weekend outfit- preppy, polished & effortlessly classic. Does anyone do it better than Kate? This seems to be her go-to, casual look and it's one of my favorites to wear as well. I tend to dress up the look with a fun statement necklace. You could change it up with a Tory Burch pom-pom scarf (obsessed) or even go with a bright colored blazer like this gorgeous pink one.

Shop the outfit above: 
While the Zara blazer Kate was just seen wearing quickly sold out; here's another inexpensive H&M navy blazer that's nearly identical. Her striped Me+Em top also sold out in a flash...above is a great option by Saint James. The fantastic wedges she's sporting are Stuart Weitzman, these J.Crew ones are about $250 less.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Wrapper's Delight

What's Black, White & "Read" All Over?



Loving this wrap dress from C.Wonder. Available in blue as well.
Wrap dresses like this are so versatile. I love a great go-to dress that can be worn at the office, to dinner or even for a weekend brunch. This dress can easily be worn with heels, flats, sandals and these accessories just add to the fun! Still obsessed with this Kate Spade bangle of Brad Goreski's glasses.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!
