Cousins Beach isn’t just a place , it’s a feeling. And it all starts with the morning.

Belly’s summers begin in soft linen sheets, where sunlight spills across the room like honey. To channel her, start your day with gentle rituals that honor slowness and intention. No alarms. No rush. Just the sound of ocean waves (or a Spotify playlist that sounds like them) and a warm breeze through your curtains.

Try this Ever Lasting ritual:

• Light a coastal-scented soy candle , think driftwood, salt air, and fig.

• Wrap yourself in a soft robe or oversized button-down, fresh from the line.

• Journal with your morning iced coffee on the porch or by the window, scribbling dreams, crushes, or quotes that feel like summer.

The key? Let the day unfold. Take long, barefoot steps through your home. Pause to braid your hair loosely. Add SPF like it's a love language. These moments are what turn an ordinary morning into something cinematic.

Belly’s style isn’t overly curated — it’s soft, lived-in, and effortlessly flirty. Her looks feel like they’ve been worn for years, passed down between sisters, borrowed from boys, or thrifted from old beach towns.

Here’s your Belly-inspired wardrobe checklist:

• Summer Pajama Dress

• Ribbed Tanks & Linen shorts

• A straw tote that smells like sunscreen and secret

• Linen button-ups, oversized and half-tucked

Ever Lasting tip: Keep a woven basket near your door filled with beach essentials: a paperback novel, oversized sunglasses, and a floral mist you can spritz like a memory.

Every summer girl needs a soundtrack — and Belly’s life plays out like one long, bittersweet indie playlist. Whether she’s dancing in the kitchen, swimming under moonlight, or watching fireworks with a heart full of ache, music makes the moment.

Create your own Cousins Beach playlist:

• “August” by Taylor Swift

• “Coffee” by Beabadoobee

• “Space Song” by Beach House

• “Night Changes” by One Direction (nostalgia-core)

• “Linger” by The Cranberries

• “We Fell In Love In October” by Girl in Red

Romance is in the air, but it’s not always picture-perfect — that’s what makes it real. Crushes fade in and out like tan lines. Late-night texts, secret glances, and long walks that mean something more. Belly reminds us that summer love isn’t about forever. It’s about feeling everything — all at once — and letting it change you.

You don’t need to live by the sea to live like Belly. Cousins Beach is as much a mindset as it is a location. It’s about choosing softness over speed. Romance over routine. Beauty in the everyday.

How to create your own summer morning magic:

• Bedroom sanctuary: Drape gauzy white curtains, layer floral pillowcases, and hang polaroids from twine like a collage of your heart.

• Seaside scent palette: Mix notes of coconut, vanilla, and jasmine. Let your home smell like sun lotion and love letters.

• Everyday rituals: Bike rides to nowhere. Melting popsicles on the porch. Reading YA novels in a hammock. Sunset painting dates with yourself.

• Summer table moments: Picnic dinners with friends, rosé in jelly jars, mismatched plates, wildflowers in empty glass bottles.

What makes Cousins Beach — and Belly — unforgettable is how ordinary things feel epic. She lets life touch her, even when it stings. She wears her heart on a sundress sleeve. You can do that too.

Everlasting invitation: Pick one morning this week and live it like it’s your summer coming-of-age. No phones, no pressure. Just you, the light, and whatever feels soft and true.

There’s something eternal about Endless Summer Mornings. They live in our memories like pressed flowers — fragile, fragrant, and forever tied to who we were in that moment.

So here’s to living slowly. To falling in love with mornings again. To romanticizing your own life, just like Belly Conklin — even if you’re far from Cousins Beach.

Because summer isn’t just a season. It’s a feeling. And you get to keep it — if you want to.
