Aloha! Here are some of my favorite beachy, vintage & tropical coffee table books! I love incorporating books into my decor like any other *basic b* but these are definitely cool girl approved.
A massive book dedicated to the OG of travel magazines, Holiday. It ran from 1946 to 1977 & was deemed as the most exciting magazine in the United States. Filled with incredible photography, fashion, art & history, this book is a must for any style maven, travel lover or just someone who wants to look at the world through the lens of decades past.
*If I were a book* This is the coolest little book all about the history of the bikini. Not a heavy read but rather a lot of notes to dive into with endless photos illustrating the evolution of the swimsuit we all know and love.
Discovering this book for the first time in a surf shop on Nantucket, I skipped purchasing only to avoid weight issues when flying home. But I couldn’t stop thinking about it! My dad passed down the love of vintage cars/trucks to me. This is such a great gift for the old-school soul in your life! It’s also a great guy’s gift, which we all struggle with.
Surf Shack: Laid-Back Living by the Water
Rustic beach vibes and cool home decor inspo when Coastal Living is a tad too preppy for you! Find inspirational ideas for the perfect color palette, unexpected decor items or even dream about that future beach home.
Waves: Pro Surfers and Their World
This book is all about pro surfers. With lots of portraits with a little less of a “vibey” book inside, but really cool if you’re actually a fan of surfing!
