The minute I scrolled through my first TikTok from Martine LavelleI was hooked. The stylish social media coordinator and content creator regularly shares glimpses into her carefully curated life, her focus ranging from fashion to beauty to home decor. During the summer months, there’s a clear way to describe Lavelle’s aesthetic thanks to the time she splits between New York City and Cape Cod: city meets luxury beach style. I recently reached out to this incredibly awesome girl to see if she would share her must-have list for this look and she happily agreed.
Spending time between NYC and the iconic New England coast makes Lavelle uniquely qualified to master the blend of polished Cape Cod style with urban flair, as evidenced in the stunning summary she put together for this story. Think Moment dressflashy jewelry, shiny shoes, and basic advanced as well as some of her beauty picks, including a blush that creates a “perfect suntan” effect.
