Coastal Decor Finds On A Budget

Coastal vibes year round


I'm in complete denial that summer is winding down. My oldest started first grade today and I'm already missing our long sunny days spent at the pool and the playground. One easy way to keep a little piece of summer year-round is with coastal decor.



Look for Less: Steve Madden 'Feather' Loafers

Steve Madden look for less at Walmart!
Hey hey hey, just realized my comfy new loafer flats from Walmart are a great Steve Madden dupe! Mine come in cheetah or snakeskin, two great on-trend prints for fall that add a a little extra something to any casual outfit. These are great for the office or the classroom, too. If you love the look for less, go ahead and "invest" in the brand-name - you'll get a lot of wear out of these all season long!



The Softest $19 Fleece Ever

Need to find this fleece at Walmart!
Remember last year's sold-out fleece wubby pullover at Walmart? It's back this year and better than ever! Grab one fast, you won't regret it. These are so soft, comfy and warm.



Look for Less: Serena & Lily Seagrass Napkin Holder

Love the look of these woven baskets!
Lately I'm loving everything seagrass - it brings such a warm, summery texture to any space. I wasn't exactly sure what seagrass was, so I looked it up. The term seagrass is used for a variety of flowering plants that grow in shallow coastal waters, including water hyacinth.



Look for Less: Thread & Supply Wubby Fleece Pullover

Wubby fleece dupe at Walmart just $19!
Walmart came back this season with another amazingly soft fleece pullover under $20! It's a great alternative to Nordstrom's popular Wubby Fleece Pullover, which retails for $78. I ordered the "look for less" in "oatmeal heather" and "rich black" in size medium as these ran small last year and I figured I wouldn't want mine too tight for layering.
