In keeping with my beach infatuation, I've always loved coastal-inspired decor...seashells, starfish, tropical flowers, driftwood, etc...but there are some pieces I've been seeing turn up many times over the last year in this little blogosphere that I don't yet have...{and boy am I coveting}:
SEA URCHINS
I love the brass sea urchins I see everywhere - bookshelves, coffee tables, centerpieces, mantels - they are just a beautiful statement piece.
I haven't had the pleasure of hanging out with Chassity in a few years {life tends to pull you in different directions, especially when kids enter the picture}, but her blog is a daily read for me. She's a style maven and I enjoy seeing her latest style finds. If you don't already follow, head over there and check her out.
She is the proud owner of a lovely little brass sea urchin {which she WON - so lucky!} I love how she used it in her decor:

I love the styling of this bookcase over at The Cuban in My Coffee {see the little urchin to the right?} You don't even have to have a coastal scheme going on to implement one of these little guys into your decor:
Use it as a centerpiece in a tray or on a coffee table...or stick it on top of a stack of cute books {see that pretty ivory coral? I'll be getting to those in a sec...}:

FAUX CORAL REEF
In addition to sea urchins, I love the bright faux corals I've also seen lately. They bring in a nice pop of color. I do like the ivory versions too.
Display it on a bookshelf...even on a candle pillar like this:

Much like the sea urchin, a great book topper to add visual interest...and a pop of color if you so choose:

And check out this super-cool coral bowl I found at Houzz...sweetness:
And because I'm super-nice...I hunted around for some good deals on faux coral...just for YOU!
