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!

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.
