Flavors to Follow: Nautical
Posted 4.09.2010 by Sandy a la Mode in Flavors to Follow :: 37 comments
When I was back in my hometown, Ann Arbor, a few weeks ago, my best friend Sophie and I reminisced our old high school shopping days by hitting up the local mall! As we were perusing the racks of Forever 21, I kept seeing myself being drawn to stripes, blue, red, yellow, white, knots, BOWS… catch my drift?? All of these things were nautical-themed!! And then I come on bloggyland and I keep seeing it everywhere and am falling in love all over again by the blog post! So therefore, I bring to you some of my favorite nautical finds! And because I love this theme so much, you’re getting a double dose of eye candy!

Makes you think summer! I love all the stripes
There was a baby dressed in a little nautical outfit on Easter with the huge sash like the vintage navy uniforms. So cute!
Luv these looks! I recognize the dress from ModCloth, I just purchased a different dress from there this morning, lol!
Have a wonderful weekend
I’ve noticed a lot of nautical themed goods this season, too, and they always make me smile! A day at the beach, or on a lovely yacht – mmm! Have a sunny, breezy weekend, dear! xo – g

Love all these! I’m biased towards the anchors those since they are the symbol from my sorority back in college. I’m still drawn to them after all these years.

Thanks for including my rope bracelet. Looks perfect amongst all your great finds.
I love your blog! So many fun and inspiring pretty things
I love the nautical theme too, makes me ready for the beach!! 
Yes, modcloth is awesome! I check out their selection regularly, and I have purchased a few really fun dresses from the website.
You’re doing a great job with your blog, Sandy! I especially like these theme posts, as well as the recipes… one of these days I actually plan on trying to make one of them
Ooh…those yellow boat shoes are cute! I just saw a pair of white Keds just like those!
Love everything so much. The stripes would look great with a pair of white shorts and t strap wedges. My favorite item is the dooney&burke bag. Love it.
