My Summer Obsessions As An East Coast Girly

19 hours agoEdited to

... Read moreAs someone who cherishes the slower pace of summer on the East Coast, I’ve found that embracing local, handmade items and simple pleasures truly enhances the season. One of my favorite rituals is visiting farmers markets to pick up fresh, seasonal flowers like snapdragons—they add a charming burst of color to my home and connect me with the local flora. Collecting handcrafted ceramics, such as mugs from Pipe Dream Pottery in Boston or matcha sets from Etsy artisans, brings an authentic, personal touch to everyday moments like morning coffee or tea time. These carefully chosen pieces not only support small businesses but also feel special against the backdrop of summer days. Beach cruisers with wicker baskets are a summer must-have for me. They combine practicality with effortless style, perfect for cruising the boardwalk or carrying essentials for a beach day. Afterward, a bonfire on the beach with friends is the perfect way to wind down, sharing stories and enjoying the warm glow under the stars. I’ve also found joy in unique, playful items like food-themed tic tac toe sets and painted shell trinket dishes. These add whimsical character to my space and are great conversation starters. Even an antique easel repurposed as a TV stand adds a vintage touch that's both functional and eye-catching. All these little details create a cozy, coastal atmosphere that truly defines my summer as an East Coast girly—full of handmade charm, fresh finds, and unforgettable moments. Embracing this lifestyle has helped me slow down and savor the season's simple joys, inspiring me to cultivate a meaningful summer experience every year.

I’m in Miami, so my choice is go to overcrowded beaches where everything is too expensive, or drive up to my family in NY for some veeeeeery cold water.

Summer travel for my east coast girlies 🌸
1. Savannah and Tybee Island are amazing for a historical artistic town plus a beach town only 20 minutes away. 2. Gatlinburg and the second image is more specifically Cades Cove . If you wanna see nature but you’re not a hiker like me then drive cades cove loop early in the morning.
