I think it’s safe to assume that I’ll never tire of the nautical trend. (Though, I doubt it can be called a “trend” when it comes back year after year. Perhaps “classic nautical motifs” is more accurate.) Add an anchor bottle opener to your summer bar cart or set sail in an anchor-print swimsuit.
Bauble of the Week
I bought a Kiel James Patrick rope bracelet last year (I couldn’t pass up the anchor closure), but this Jeweliq bracelet is a more affordable alternative. It’s just $17 with free shipping and is also available in red and navy.
For Home | For You
A classic mix of red, white and blue is always a welcome addition to your home or wardrobe. Of course the color scheme can tread dangerously into nautical territory, but these items keep seafaring to a minimum. At home, try a navy and white pillow in a scalloped design, or a red lacquered tray. For you, the ruffled tank by Sea is a darling option. (In fact, many of Sea’s pre-fall items are too fantastic to miss.)
Weekend Snapshots
- Enjoyed a leisurely lakeside breakfast at Sardine
- Admired agile penguins at the zoo
- Sampled beer at the Great Taste of the Midwest – there was plenty to choose from with over 120 breweries and 500 beers (my favorite was a coconut ale from Two Brothers)
- Wore that nautical bracelet yet again

Snapshot
Just a couple of things I picked up last weekend at the Lands’ End warehouse clearance sale. The gingham shirt is just begging for a high-waisted pencil skirt and layers of costume jewelry. (Then again, what doesn’t look good with an overload of rhinestones?!)
