I live in a land locked state. Any beach life that exists here takes place along lakes and rivers. For the most part, these “beaches” satisfy my wish for water during the summer months. But sometimes I still find myself dreaming of little cottages on Nantucket, or repeating our trips to Okracoke off the coast of North Carolina when we lived back east, or even a white sand beach in the Bahamas. Ahhhhhh!

For now, I’ll settle for a picture next to this adorable antique store in Midway, Utah, and an upcoming trip to the California coast to visit my sister. When it comes to beach dressing however, my proximity to a beach doesn’t keep me from channeling that laid-back, relaxed vibe you get in most waterfront towns and cities.

An oh-so light tank top, effortless linen pants, and a panama hat will do it! Just copious amounts of sand and salty spray and you’ve made it!! I hope your Thursday is solid, and that you’re looking forward to any weekend plans you have cooked up.

XX, Megan
