Welcome to Stars & Anchor, a lifestyle blog dedicated to helping you create a coastal life you love through inspired decor, style, travel, and savoring life’s small moments.

Living a coastal lifestyle goes beyond just decorating with seashells and enjoying days at the beach (which are both great things!)—it’s also about embracing a mindful way of life that invites peace and simplicity. It’s waking up to the sound of the waves as you enjoy a sunrise beach walk, savoring a slow morning coffee on the porch, and taking time to truly appreciate the little things. This lifestyle encourages you to nourish your body with fresh, healthy foods and create a sense of balance by slowing down and enjoying each moment. It’s about letting the rhythms of the coast inspire a deeper connection to nature and to yourself, fostering a life that’s as serene and refreshing as the ocean breeze.

I’ve lived along the coast my entire life, and curating a lifestyle, home and wardrobe that evokes the tranquility and beauty of life along the coast is second nature to me. Whether you’re here because you’re seeking to bring a touch of the ocean into your home or looking for unique gifts that capture the essence of beach life, I’m here to help you make your seaside dreams a reality. Through thoughtfully curated home decor roundups, entertaining suggestions, gift guides, tips and tricks, and other inspirational content, I hope you’ll find something that makes your life easier and more enjoyable.

Some examples of things you can find around here are an ultimate guide to coastal nightstands, the perfect budget-friendly coastal gifts, the best coastal names for your dog or cat, beach toys that will keep your kids entertained all day, and must-read beach books. There’s so much more, so stay a while and explore!
