Coastal Chic: My Top Walmart Picks for Seaside-Inspired Living

Hello and happy weekend, friends! I’m so thrilled to kick off a brand-new series here on the blog, spotlighting a curated selection of my favorite coastal-inspired pieces—exclusively from Walmart. Many of you have asked for more peeks into my top picks, and now that I’ve launched my own Walmart Storefront, I thought it would be the perfect time to make this a regular feature. Each week, I’ll be sharing hand-picked items that bring a breath of ocean air into your home and wardrobe, all at incredible prices.

Let’s dive into this week’s roundup—filled with breezy home decor and effortlessly stylish fashion—just right for embracing the clean slate of January.


Coastal Calm: Home Decor That Feels Like a Vacation

This month, I’ve been drawn to serene tones, organic textures, and timeless details that reflect that coastal ease we all crave this time of year. Whether you’re dreaming of Nantucket or simply want to bring a bit of seaside charm to your everyday life, these home finds are a breath of fresh salt air.

Here are a few pieces I’ve added to my personal wishlist:

  • Scalloped Water Glasses – Elegant yet playful, these are perfect for hosting or adding a cheerful touch to your daily hydration ritual.
  • Island Dreaming Book – A dreamy coffee table addition that doubles as an escape.
  • Candle Hurricane – Ideal for those cozy evenings when you want the flicker of candlelight against the backdrop of soft ocean hues.
  • Marble Dish – Sleek and practical for serving or simply styling on a shelf.
  • Outdoor Chair Set – These just scream “sunny afternoon on the porch” and bring the comfort of indoor style outdoors.
  • Martha Stewart Cookbook – A classic that never goes out of style—especially if you love entertaining with a coastal twist.
  • Kitchen Mitt Set – Small but mighty upgrades like these make everyday tasks feel special.

Each of these selections is not only stylish but also budget-friendly, proving that you don’t need to live by the sea to embrace that breezy lifestyle.


Effortless Style: Fashion Finds with Coastal Flair

Of course, coastal living isn’t just about how we decorate—it’s about how we dress too! I’ve gathered a few of my favorite fashion picks this week that reflect the easy, relaxed elegance I love. From cozy knits to breezy pajama sets, these are the pieces I’ll be reaching for all month long.

Here are my top picks in fashion this week:

  • Cardigan Sweater – Think cozy but chic, perfect for layering over just about anything.
  • Bow Top – Feminine and fresh, this is a go-to for a touch of playful polish.
  • Stripe Sweater – A nod to nautical charm, always a classic in any coastal wardrobe.
  • Bralette + Seamless Briefs – Because even your basics should feel beautiful.
  • Blue Stripe Pajama Set – Crisp and tailored, ideal for early mornings with coffee in hand.
  • Pink Floral Pajama Set – Soft, romantic, and made for lounging.
  • Blue Floral Pajama Set – My personal favorite—delicate and dreamy, it’s like sleeping in a garden.

Most of these come in multiple colors, so there’s something for every palette. I’ve simply selected the hues that feel most “me,” but feel free to make them your own.
