Bringing the Look and Feel Home

Even if you don't live in the tropics you can still incorporate the look and feel into your home. Here are a few "beach inspired" rooms I found.

Classic Casual Elements



"Beach Chic"



Tropical Decor in a Traditional Pool House




Green Grasscloth and Palm Fronds


(I know I just used this same image on my other blog One Girls Style, but it worked for both!)

Etsy Find

Some pieces of tropical art I found on Etsy:

Tropical Red Cottage Original Watercolor Painting from Kauai Hawaii - A charming original watercolor for only $35! Great way to add a little tropical charm to your space.



Funky Beach Word Block- This cute piece would look adorable in my sons surfer boy bedroom!



Home is Anywhere-"Vintage Airstream trailer, parked in downtown San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, next to a stall where the family sold brightly colored dresses and shawls"- My favorite art is photography and I think this photo (subject matter) is really cool!



The Two Pinkies- Remember...I'm from Florida...enough said!

Suit-Up

Suit-Up...that phrase just sent shivers down my spine and made me a bit nauseous! However, if you or I plan to live this tropical lifestyle or take that tropical vacation and a beach is in our futures then suiting-up is a reality (for me a sad reality, but still reality non-the-less!) To take the sting out a bit I thought posting some beautiful swimwear options might help...or perhaps not...but, nevertheless, here are some I'm crushing on.

DKNY Swimsuit, Triangle Bikini Top & String Bottom- I've been wanting a yellow bikini for a while now. I think the yellow looks beautiful against the turquoise blue water when photographed!



J.Crew 'Neon Rose'- Another great color is this beautiful coral...one of my favorite swimsuit colors!



J.Crew 'Cape-Stripe'- Retro, nautical and stripped...makes me happy!



Kenneth Cole REACTION Cover Up, Tunic - SALE Swimwear - Women's - Macy's- I can just picture myself wearing this (with the necklace too) and strolling down a tropical beach...this weekend perhaps!



Lucy patio dress- Slipping this cover-up on over this suit is nothing short of perfection! Mojitos at a thatched beach bar anyone?!?



I'm hauling-out my Wii Fit and ab video A.S.A.P!!! So not kidding!!!

Bora Bora

My husband and I never went on a honeymoon! But, if we would have had the opportunity, I think Bora Bora would be the perfect honeymoon destination. So beautiful, so tropical, so romantic. Maybe this will be our 20 year, renew our wedding vows honeymoon do-over! PERFECT!

Introduction

Hi, I'm Amanda Lenore and I'm from Southwest Florida and currently reside in Honolulu, Hawaii. This is my second blog. My first blog is One Girls Style, a fashion, design and lifestyle blog. I created this blog Key Limes and Coral because I thought it would be fun to have a blog with a more specific point of view. I look forward to posting many beautiful tropical inspirations for all of us to enjoy. Mahalo for following!

Here's a little tropical inspiration from my home state!
