Beach style used to be an interesting piece of jewelry or a surf style t-shirt that I brought home from a vacation. Treasured posessions, to be sure, but only momentos of the riches experienced for a short time.  It wasnt until I fully embraced my beach life and made a move to the coast that I really understood about coastal style. It isnt just the rustic comfort of my beach house on stilts or the way I wear flip flops on a daily basis. Coastal style is the attitude of those who know about comfort.  Eventually the comfortable life lived in casual environment infuses more than just your home decor. It means your handbag is now a tote bag suitable for books, sunblock and lip balm. It means you wear that comfortable favorite t-shirt again and again. It eliminates heels from your footwear, black from your wardrobe and stress from your style. Soon this idea of comfort slips into your home decor turning every room into a comfortable beach cottage with big chairs and charmingly happy design. Beach style eventually infuses your look, your home and sooner or later, your mindset. Embrace your beach life everyday, where ever you are and remember what comfort feels like.
