The moment I first scrolled through Martine Lovell's TikTok and stumbled upon her, I was hooked. The stylish social media coordinator and content creator regularly posts to share a glimpse into her thoughtfully curated life, from fashion to beauty to interiors. Splitting her time between New York City and Cape Cod over the summer, Lovell's aesthetic can be clearly described as a mix of urban and coastal chic. I recently reached out to this undeniably cool girl to ask if she could share her essentials list for achieving this look, and she was more than happy to oblige.
Splitting her time between New York and the iconic New England coast, Lovell has a unique talent for mastering a style that mixes preppy Cape Cod style with an urban edge. This is evident in the amazing roundup she put together for this article. Think trendy dresses, eye-catching jewelry, stylish shoes, elevated basics, and her favorite beauty picks, including blush that creates the “perfect tan” look. Scroll to discover and shop Lovell's top picks and get inspired by her best outfits from Instagram.
