Nautical On The Brain

Hey Preps!

It's now officially the start of summer in the fashion world.  Every where I turn I see nautical themes taking sprout.  This makes me so very happy given the fact I have always been mildly obsessed with the styles that are associated with "on the bay" living.  Growing up in San Diego, my love for the ocean is profound. Name a water associated activity, and I guarantee I have at least attempted it.

This eventually led to a Division-I college swimming career (I do not recommend you let your kids be swimmers, I dread it now)...but that is besides the point...the point is this...I love everything nautical!

Here are a few of my favorite internet browsing finds this week:

How cute are these?
From L.L. Bean

Yet another perfect ad from Ralph Lauren

Organic Pillow from SewRealicoul's Etsy Shop

It is nautical summertime mates! Time to whip out those boat shoes (or keep them out)!

I was born in Pittsburgh and my parents moved us to Orange County, CA when I was 5. I lived in downtown San Diego in my mid-20s and still go back to visit all of my relatives in Pitsburgh 2 or 3 times a year. Love me a fellow CA/PA girl!!

you were a D1 swimmer!? I never knew. I swam from 4th-11th grade and every summer.

Have you seen the new Lilly stuff with regatta flags on it?! Love
