A Sea Salted Check-In...

Anchor by theseasaltedblonde

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!

Pearls & Anchors

In the midst of our Sunday afternoon errands, my Husband & I stopped at one of our favorite places thinking we'd enjoy a walk on the beach and capture a few picts for the blog. Well friends, it was a wind tunnel- no matter which way you stood...a hair-in-your-face-when-you-don't-have-an-elastic kind of beach day...great for the soul, not the best for blog pictures!

My husband was an excellent first time photographer & captured just the right shots to show this pretty pink coat, pearl embellished blouse and cashmere anchor scarf.

Links to what I'm wearing below.

 

I could not love this scarf more, so soft.

 

 

sea salt air in my hair

 

 

 

There's a little shoulder poof detail the on the coat...just enough.

Fresh Stripes & Lemons

Fresh Stripes by theseasaltedblonde 

Navy, white & yellow might just be my favorite color combination. I know pastels are everything this Spring however; I also can't get enough of this fresh, relaxed yet very put together look.
I came across these pieces while online "window" shopping & wanted to wear this outfit immediately! Perfect weekend wear. Navy & white striped trench coat-$60! Adorable lemon print Keds for Kate Spade-$75. Except for the watch & necklace; each item is under $75!
I've been searching for an inexpensive pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, these ones from Gap might be winners...any recommendations? I don't own a pair of distressed jeans or even boyfriend jeans but I've been loving the look...especially when paired with heels.

I am obsessed with these fun nautical rope bracelets from The Ropes Maine. Inspired by & made on the beautiful Maine coast; these come in an array of colors & designs. You can find a listing of where they are sold at TheRopesMaine.com

Hope you're all having a wonderful week!

Lobster Sweater Weather

This past weekend, my sister & I took advantage of the warmer temps in New England and headed up to one of our favorite spots on the Connecticut coast. Even though it was gorgeous and sunny out with a February heat-wave of 50ish degrees, it still was not as warm as we hoped. We were a little frigid on the breezy coast line. In my opinion, any day is a good day to be by the shore but...summer come soon, please!!!

We still had a fun adventure and my sister was kind enough to snap a few pictures so I could post my first outfit to the blog. Thanks Britt :)

Loving my J. Crew Factory Lobster sweater and it was the perfect day to wear it.

Snow Flowers

Snow Flowers by theseasaltedblonde

I am beyond obsessed with this white Tory Burch floral blouse as well as these lovely Ivanka Trump ballet flats (on sale!) As a New England girl I should be more than adjusted to a drawn out cold snap- think snow in April...however I would be perfectly happy if winter ended in January. While spring seems so very far away, I'm ready to pair these pretties with winter whites (ear muffs, gloves & cashmere scarf all on sale!)  some girly pearls and pretend it's a balmy January. Who's with me?!
 

Gold Rush

Foiled, metallic, bronzed, sequined or sparkled- It's no secret that gold is everywhere. Not just for the holidays either, I love that gold easily works in every season. From a sequin sleeve parka to metallic rinse jeans I can't get enough and hope it doesn't fade to silver any time soon.While perusing Nordstrom, I came across this glorious gold cable knit sweater...here it is along with all the other golden flecks that are catching my eye lately.
*Also found these two gold sweaters on Piperlime...each under $100: Sabine Foiled Pullover Numph Metalic Pullover
