Sometimes (ok – all the time) I wish I was an eccentric wealthy woman living in the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s that enjoys frequenting her local yacht club. Odd? I often find myself gravitating toward nautical pieces like rope details, red and blue, anchors, boats, etc. That could be because I live in Maine, you can’t help but be inspired by your surroundings, but I also just find the aesthetic really fun.
Who wouldn’t want to look like these ladies?

Or enjoy a nice day on the docks like these gentlemen?
Ok, maybe not the last one. Anywho, that was the mood I was feeling today, so I went with a little sailor-inspired top. I almost wore my anchor necklace but decided that it might be a bit much, considering I will most definitely not be sailing today.

Any fun plans this weekend? I’ll be at the Little Craft Studio Spring Fair in Freeport this Saturday. I’ll be selling vintage clothing, jewelry, accessories and accoutrement, as well as my handmade recycled t-shirt necklaces. If you’re around, stop by the Freeport Community Library (10 Library Drive, Freeport) from 9am – 3pm to check out all the goodies! There should be some awesome vendors – great place to check out for last minute Mother’s Day gifts.
Sunday the two mama’s (Ross’s and mine) are coming to town for a little lunch-a-roo. I’ve got some good stuff on the menu, so hopefully it all turns out well. Happy Mother’s Day!



I agree one thousand percent on the nautical sartorial. horizonal stripe boat neck shirts are my life.
yes I would love to be in the midst of that first picture!! All about the nautical fashion…one of my faves. Hope you have a great weekend! xo
A perfect Spring outfit! Love that top and loooove that it’s LL Bean Sig. I have those wedges in the navy as well and think they’re pretty fab;). Happy weekend!
i’ll always love some nautical stuff. i like your take on it.
I love it! I’ve always wanted to be a teenager in the 50s… In a soda shop. Possibly in a cardigan sweater and saddle shoes… and maybe sometimes a poodle skirt.
i love that top. its the perfect nautical shirt for spring. Infact this who am i kidding? this whole look is awesome
