Summer is finally around the corner, and we know our fellow coastal granddaughters are more than ready to enjoy the best season of the year — summer!

We’re back to share some of our outfit essentials, and what to wear for a perfect coastal granddaughter summer.

Pieces to Reach For:

Embroidered Tote Bags & Bag Charms

We are loving carrying our custom embroidered tote bags around and have crafted the most perfect bag charms to match! It’s a great way to treat yourself but also makes a nice gift for a friend. We offer custom designed coastal embroidery on our totes (and all our apparel!) to give things an extra special touch!

Matching Striped Lounge Sets

While we hope it will be sunny all summer long, we know there will always be some cozy rainy days in. A super soft matching lounge set is perfect for those indoor days relaxing, reading, and binging our favorite tv shows.

Coastal Icon Tops

Coastal granddaughters of course obsess over cute coastal icon tees and sweatshirts! Whether it be a beaded icon, a hydrangea, or an embroidered design, we have you covered with lots of options.

A Classic Swim Suit

A cute, classic style swim suit is essential for all coastal granddaughters for boating and beach days all summer long. Swim suit shopping can be painful, but let us help make it easy with our suits that fit better and last longer than other brands.

Jewelry & Accessories

The finishing touch to any outfit is a cute accessory to take our outfits to the next level. We love wearing waterproof gold-filled jewelry and not having to worry about things tarnishing after a quick swim at the beach. We’re also living in cute claw clips and baseball caps, especially on really warm days. 

Flowy Skirts

This summer we are all about easy, breezy looks. A classic white or gingham flowy skirt is something we’re adding to our wardrobes. A good skirt is so versatile and we love being able to dress them up or down depending on the day. 

By now we’re all pretty familiar with the lifestyle that is *coastal granddaughter* but if you need to brush up on all that the style encompasses we have another blog post for you to dive into here. These essential coastal granddaughter pieces are going to be on repeat for us this summer!

Pearl Care Tips:

1) Always keep pearls safe as they can scratch easily.

2) Avoid water and chemicals as they can eat away the nacre of the pearls and become dull-looking and lose their luster. Put on pearls last, after applying perfumes and lotions.

3) Pearls need moisture, do not store in plastic as they can become dry and crack.
