We love the nautical, and as we’ve already got our perfect navy and white striped shirt, new boating inspired looks are welcome.
So we’re glad that we came across these Freemont cuff shorts on Pixie Market, on sale for $83. They kind of remind us of antique illustrations of sailboats meshed with Eric Chase Anderson’s illustrations for his brother Wes’ films (particularly, of course, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou). We’re digging the playful vibe, and the slightly high waist.
And maybe this year we’re in for an Indian Summer, which would mean extra time to stroll around in shorts. If not, we think these would still look pretty great with a warm pair of wool tights for fall.

See all the images…
Trends come and go, but when the weather gets warm, just about anything nautical makes us open up our wallets.
Especially when we see something as darling as these Jami Rodriguez crystal sailboat earrings.
It’s not just that the translucent crystal drops will go with just about everything in our summer wardrobe, or that we know everyone will be sure to notice these stunners since they dangle a full 2” inches.
The real clincher is their vintage vibe. It’s almost as if we dug them out of Lee Radziwell’s personal jewelry box.
So regardless of whether you’re heading to the marina anytime soon, for only $92 we recommend snatching these up.
They’re a much safer way to sate your life aquatic urges than an ill-advised captain’s hat.

Got Her: At the Louvre, in between shows.
Stalked Her: Because we love her jacket. Anyone who can make nautical work for Fall rocks our world.
Shot Her: Because she looks comfortably chic, balancing her fancy but logo-free bag with an easy going dress and cozy coat.
She Says: “I run an on-line fashion community in Sweden - but Paris Fashion Week is the absolute best!”
We Say: If we join your fashion community, can we borrow your coat?

Joanna, landscape designer and Karen, casting agent.
Got them: Heading to our favorite bagel place on Prince for lunch, we had to chase them down.
Stalked them: Because it’s seriously hot outside and this duo managed to stay cool and cute in breezy dresses.
Shot them: Because we love a good sailor dress and Karen’s definitely hit the mark - the bow added just enough girliness to a very nautical look. Meanwhile, Joanna’s dress looked impossibly breezy and comfortable. We appreciated the crisp blue while her eclectic necklace brought the right amount of interest.
They say:
Karen: “I actually got this dress at Forever 21!”
Joanna: “And my necklace is from Morocco…”
We say: Where were we when Forever 21 was selling such a cute sailor dress? And where can we buy a ticket to Morocco?
