About Me



Hi friends! My name is Melissa, better known here as the Blonde Starfish!

I grew up going to the beach with my family, which quickly fostered a love for all things coastal! From my bright Lilly Pulitzer wardrobe to my beach house inspired home decor, you would almost want to believe that I am part starfish. 

My passions include organization, outfit coordination, crafting, and interior decorating. Thus this blog will include everything from outfit inspiration to various home and craft projects to organization tips, and maybe even an occasional recipe!

Easy Ways To Go Green

I have this theory that we should all be kind to the environment, because if we don't who will? There is no need to add more unnecessary items to landfills than we have to. Also for the sake of the animals that live in rivers and near landfills, we have to look out for them. Here are a few simple ways you can be more green in your day to day life. ~Use Reusable Bags~ Using a reusable bag when going to the grocery store should be common practice by now. All of those plastic bags ending up in the landfill is truly unfortunate. I like the Lilly Pulitzer reusable market totes because they hold a good amount of items, but can be put on your shoulder so that it does not feel as heavy. ~Recycle Paper~ You would think that everyone recycles paper by now, but surprisingly that is not the case.

Cozy Spirit Jerseys

As the season are changing over from summer to fall the weather is getting cooler. Even though it's not cold yet, it its much cooler in the morning and evenings than during the afternoons. This is a fun time to mix long sleeves with shorts as well as short sleeves with long pants or jeans. One of these combinations that I love includes a spirit jersey with shorts. It allows me to wear my favorite Lilly Pulitzer shorts  past the summertime.  The spirit jersey is always a cozy option because they are thicker than a t-shirt but not as thick as a sweatshirt. They are typically worn oversized so this allows for them to be extra comfortable. So even when I wear shorts, I am still able to stay warm enough throughout the day.

Being that this is my fourth year of back to school preparation, I like to think that I know what I am doing. The following are a few tips to get you prepared for going back to school. 1. Get A Planner One of the best ways to get organized and stay organized is to get a planner and stick with it. Keeping assignments as well as meetings and events organized in your planner will help you to remember the important things. It's nice to have everything compiled into one place for reference as well.  2. Organize Your Book Bag Chances are you have not even opened your book bag since you left school. I recommend you go through it, clean it out, and go ahead and put your important school supplies into it. This way when it's time to start back at school you will know where everything is.  3. Organize Your School Supplies On...
