Fashion: Nautical & Nice


Sophisticated nautical themed fashions with a touch of seventies, French flare are making waves this spring. Derive style inspiration from vintage Bridget Bardot and think: French Riviera. Look for stylish and sea worthy stripes, while choosing color palettes in navy, black, white, red, coral, orange, and gold.

In honor of the seventies style revival, waist-lines are rising this season, but this trend isn't for everyone; so, choose the style that best suits your particular figure. For an everyday casual approach, opt for effortlessly worked-in-denim bell-bottoms and for a more polished look, try a wide legged trouser in white, navy or a dark denim.

A wedge sandal will add the perfect balance to this revived silhouette and chunky nautical-esk jewelry, especially in gold, will give the look a chic French vibe. Add a headscarf or classic straw hat like the one shown and complete the look with a pair of glamorous shades - l'amour! Xo
