Duffy at the All Points West Music Festival - From Red Carpet to Your Closet:

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


There's something really refreshing about seeing a celebrity rock a trend in a way that's 100% accessible to the rest of us. There's nothing over-the-top about Duffy's take on this season's nautical trend -- she's taken a number of simple pieces and put them together in a way that really makes a statement.

This look is something you could pull off for school, a date, or just out on the weekend because it's casual yet totally pulled together. Check out the gallery for tips on making Duffy's look your own!

Dress of the day - J. G. Hook Coastal Stripe Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


It's entirely possible that we've been watching too much "Mad Men" but we're completely smitten with the show - of course the retro fashions and yes, we admit it, Don Draper (and his starched white shirts) may have something to do with this obsession.

Why aren't you wearing this? Double-strand seahorse necklace

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


Summer trends can be so much fun. Currently, we're really enjoying the nautical trend -- navy and white, khakis, boat shoes, etc. And, when if we really want to play up that trend, we have no problem choosing accessories that, with anything else, would look a bit costumey. You know, shapes like sand dollars and starfish can make for some really fun jewelry!

Pegleg NYC: Nautical themes for little sailors

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Kids and Babies



Pegleg NYC may sound like a nightclub for pirates, but it's geared towards a much smaller and somewhat sweeter set- although innocence is debatable. Pegleg NYC makes clothes for kids.

The nautical theme runs throughout the line and will make any toddler feel like the Judge Smails of the playground, asking if anyone wants a Fresca and explaining that the world needs ditch diggers, too.

Why aren't you wearing this? Cynthia Rowley Floppy Hat

Filed under: Accessories


We don't know about you, but right now, we're getting hit with some serious humidity. Not the kind of humidity that, with a bit of mousse, gives our hair volume -- the kind of humidity that makes us feel like we're stepping into a sauna every time we go outside.

When we have to spend a bit of time outdoors in the summer, we like to safeguard our hair. Sometimes, that means product. Sometimes, it means a headband. For the really humid days, though, we've got to go with a hat.

Five Must-Have Looks for Spring

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses

spring looks
I am wild about Spring, girls. Wild, I tell you. For some reason, while other seasons have had one, two, maybe three very prominent trends, this Spring 2007 is all about...everything. It's as if every trend from the last few years has converged into right now. Patent leather. Metallics. Wide belts. Shorts. Big and bold. Soft and sweet. You name it, it's probably fashionable for spring. All except, thankfully, the skinny jean.

Nautical or Nice - They had to do something so we could wear anchors around our necks, right? Nautical is all about brunching at the Yacht Club in dark navy, crisp white, bright red, and gold accessories. Strangely, I have always associated the nautical look with Spring and Summer, regardless of trendiness.

From pirate to yacht club: the nautical trend is evolving

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing

This spring's nautical trend is less pirate, more yacht club. Where those "skull and crossbones" symbols were on everything from thermal shirts to earrings to ballet flats before, now anchors and sailboats are appearing in all those same places.

It's not just accessories making the switch. Instead of the billowy shirts and buckled pirate boots we're seeing tailored shirts, cuffed shorts, linens and other clean looks that would be at home on a yacht with big sunglasses and a glass of ice tea as accessories.

It's a more flattering look than the "pirate wannabe," and the anchors and sailboats are less creepy icons than the poison-warning "skull and crossbones," so spring 2007 may be the season I finally jump on board the nautical trend.

Nautical-inspired tunic top

Filed under: Style in the News

Has this season's nautical trend left you shipwrecked on white-sailor-pants-island?

Well, if it has, you are not alone. I am right there with you. I'll admit it. I lack complete originality and always gravitate towards the traditional (and safe) nautical pieces. And as a result, I have way too many sailor pants and way too many peacoats. The worst part is that my mundane style has left me looking more like a washed-out sailor than a sultry vixen.

Well, this season I decided to abandon ship, broaden my horizons, and purchase something different. That noble quest led me straight to bebe.com where I fell in love with this tunic top. The gray and white stripes make it subtly nautical, while the draped neck and side ruching makes it conspicuously sexy.

Price: $54.
