Week O’Nautical – Warm Summer Cabana Striped Nights

  Warm summer evenings are perfect for tiki torches, twinkling lights, bbq’s and garden parties!  As the sun sets, the lights turn on and as we garden and bbq can’t help but make the night more magical with a pretty cabana striped dress!  I may not be lounging in the cabana so I might as well…

Week O’Nautical – Monogram

When its 106 out there’s really only a few options, and usually include your lightest sundress.  I’ll take any reason to wear a LWD, and then pair it with navy AND a monogramed bag and we have ourselves a look that will not only beat the heat and work for week o’nautical! Dress, hat, necklace –…

Week O’Nautical – White Linen

My favorite nautical looks are anchored in crisp white and contrasting navy.  As we countdown to the unofficial start of summer, wearing all white seems more than fitting!  As the image of white sails and navy blue waters sail through my head, white linen is the perfect fabric to exemplify nautical influences in today’s Week O’Nautical…

Week O’Nautical is coming to an end, and no better way to go out than with navy and white stripes.  This has been my favorite easy summer dress as of late.  You can really play up your accessories and create totally different looks. For my accessories I played up the sea shades of blue with…
