Fabulous Fridays: Ahoy Mate! Nautical Styles That Float My Boat

Are you like me and already sick of Winter? Or do you have a fabulous getaway planned you haven’t told me about? I sure don’t. Yet. The upcoming bitterly cold weekend has me eagerly awaiting Spring's arrival. And by the amount of email blasts from retailers and designers announcing their Spring collections, it must be soon. I can only hope.

One of the must-have looks this Spring are nautical-inspired and I hope you're going to love them as much as I do. These timeless and ageless styles are always enjoying a comeback on the fashion scene, but this year the trend is receiving high fashion marks. Normally I think of the traditional blue and white stripes as have a summery sensibility, but the designs I'm seeing are an updated versions of these classic looks with feminine and glamorous twists that could be worn year-round.

Get ready to set sail on the high seas with sailor pants and skirts, striped tops, rope trims, espadrilles and straw totes. Just be sure to shop for your stripes with care. It's also possible to go overboard with this look. As always with any trend, moderation is key.

You can rock the boat and get your wardrobe in ship shape form with a few of these tricks:

Team a black and white or navy and white striped top with clean white pants. If navy isn't your thing, go for a red stripe. It will take you from classic to foxy sailorette with ease.

Sailor pants are such an adorable way to incorporate this season's trend. Celebrity favorite and mine J Brand also has an easy and casual way to look nautical.
