Ok, who doesn’t like blue crabs? COAST is casual coastal fashion at its best. Polos, khakis, fleeces and button down shirts drenched in beachy hues of riptide, boardwalk, and corona–that’s red, tan, and oh so preppy sunshine yellow to the beach impaired. COAST was founded in 2008 in Pawleys Island, South Carolina and has been cranking out the prep ever since.

Lovelies for the Ladies:

COAST is a great alternative to the hum-drum world of boring gifts this holiday season. Be sure to check out www.coastapparel.com for the latest looks.

I saw Orion tonight, his starry belt winked at me in the November sky. Not only does Orion’s appearance signal the start of cold weather in Baltimore, it also means the BF is ready to start another renovation project. Normally, this might be seen as a good thing, however; the last bathroom took months and months of cleaning, dusting, plastering, and hard labor.

With Orion’s emergence I am left to ponder one thing, the color scheme of my next bathroom.

Since I essentially live in a bachelor pad with the BF and Wonder Dog, I have to voice my decorating style on the sly. Slowly, I have been sneaking the lime green and sunshine yellow on the walls, transforming the BF’s brown-on-boring house into one of my budget coastal design. After scouring the Pottery Barn catalogue for ideas,  I went to IKEA and stocked up on jars, vases, and candles. I’m not an interior designer by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought these beachy accents made a huge improvement in the home.
