I Split My Time Between NYC and Cape Cod—35 Picks That Scream "City Meets Coastal Chic"

The minute I scrolled across my first TikTok from Martine Lavelle, I was hooked. The stylish social media coordinator and content creator regularly shares a glimpse into her thoughtfully curated life, her focus spanning from fashion to beauty to home décor. During the summer months, there is one clear way to describe Lavelle's aesthetic thanks to her splitting time between New York City and Cape Cod: city meets coastal chic. I recently reached out to the undeniably cool girl to see if she would be down to share her must-have list for achieving this look, to which she happily agreed.
Spending time between the NYC and the iconic New England coast makes Lavelle uniquely qualified to master a mix of preppy Cape Cod style with a signature touch of city edge. This is clearly evidenced in the stellar roundup she put together for this story. Think of-the-moment dresses, striking jewelry, sleek shoes, and elevated basics as well as some of her go-to beauty picks, including a blush that creates a "perfect sunburn" effect. Scroll on to discover and shop Lavelle's top picks alongside some of her greatest Instagram outfits to get you inspired.
"Since I discovered Roz, my hair has never felt better. It's so hydrated, soft, and healthy. I cannot recommend this shampoo and conditioner enough. From swimming all day on the Cape or walking around NYC, showering with this combo will guarantee a good hair day no matter where I am."
