7 Things Our Gulf Coast, Alabama, Editor Is Loving Right Now
Caroline Edmondson, editor of The Scout Guide Gulf Coast, Alabama, is not only an influencer in her city, but an advocate for local businesses as she Scouts and shares the things she’s loving right now. Here are a few of Caroline’s current faves—from her favorite way to dress up a bed to the tropical paradise she’ll be jetting off to soon.
1.
WHAT I’M DECORATING WITH
Scalloped Euro Sham
Towne + Beech
“I’m in the process of redecorating our guest rooms and finding the right pieces has been a bit of a challenge. But I’ve always thought, if you can design a beautiful bed, everything else will fall into place. I love these scalloped euro shams from Towne + Beech. They’re the ideal size and have just the right touch of color.”
2.
WHAT I’M EATING
Oysters
Murder Point Oysters
“While these exceptional oysters are locally raised and farmed right here on the Gulf Coast, they have the ability to ship anywhere in the country. You won’t find a better tasting oyster than these.”
3.
WHAT I’M GIFTING
Wrapping Paper
MalWest Design
“I’m a huge gift giver—it’s one of my love languages. I have been loving these fun wrapping papers from MalWest Design. She personally designed each and they’re perfect for every occasion, from holidays and birthdays to just a little happy on a Wednesday!”

WHERE I’M SHOPPING
A Favorite Local Boutique
Rusted Arrow Mercantile
“I’m thrilled to welcome Rusted Arrow Mercantile to our third volume! Owners Sam and Ruth are an adorable mother-daughter duo and they design the most gorgeous and captivating store displays for each season. While I love visiting IRL, if you’re not local to Pensacola, you can shop their store online.”
5.
WHAT I’M WEARING
L’agence Angelina Jacket
Lucca
“Lately I’ve been loving anything tweed, so this L’agence jacket from Lucca is right up my alley. It’s great for the colder months, but could easily transition into spring with white denim.”
6.
WHERE I’M GOING
Honeymooning on St. Lucia
Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort
“I’m getting married in May and planning the honeymoon with my fiancé has been so much fun! We decided on the Viceroy Sugar Beach in St. Lucia and I can’t wait. This beautiful resort is right on the beach and features stunning views of the Pitons.”

WHAT I’M READING
The Perfect Thriller
First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
“There’s nothing like curling up with a thriller novel and I’ve been loving First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston. This is Reese’s Book Club pick and it has lived up to all of the stellar reviews so far.”
