Cruise 2011: Mara Hoffman
If anyone can make clothes fit for a cruise, it's print-master Mara Hoffman. This time around, the designer named her print "Electric Garden." The vivacious pattern fuses together acid green, turquoise, salmon, gray, and black; it's slightly trippy, yet totally pretty.
Fab Stylist of the Week Is . . . marcied23!
This week's Fab stylist challenge presented a sassy Anja Rubik in sexy nautical gear. We asked you to reinterpret the trend for the masses, and marcied23 absolutely did. Her sassy sailor fuses a cheeky skirt with killer knotted Burberry heels and nautical-inspired jewels.
Etsy Finds: Anchors Away!
Now that Summer is officially here, I can't stop thinking about pools, lakes, beaches, and any sort of water sport. While my eyes may be peeled for the World Cup, my mind keeps sailing away with the tides of the ocean. Come check out all the ways to anchor your home in this week's edition of Etsy Finds.
Look of the Day: Mod Nautical
I've tried the nautical look, I've tried the mod look, but I've yet to do the mod nautical combo. Fashionave921 exemplifies this look to perfection with her thigh-high gray tights, blue jumper, and yellow cardi. I'm smitten with her saltwater sandals, and her white belt cinches the whole look together.

Looks of the Week!
This week's Look Book showed signs of Summer — bare legs, short skirts, sandals. My favorites are sassy in Sydney, bikini babe, casual cute, edgy glamor, statement necklace, and sail away. I've long missed the sailorette look, that's why femmeriots's outfit stood out from the bunch.

Help! I have a case of the Spring shopping itch. Just when I thought I was done swiping my card, I come across Cusp.com.
Look of the Day: Stripes and Tweed
High waisted shorts are having a bit of a moment so Sugar reader Hebden is bang on trend with this ensemble. She teamed the vintage item with a nautical striped t-shirt and a tweed jacket.
With tights to keep her legs warm it's a great Spring outfit and can easily be adapted for the warmer months.
Trend Alert: Nautical Shoes
The nautical trend is never far away, seeming to re-emerge every season. For Spring 2009 it's taking on footwear with casual espadrilles, striped flats, and funky heels.
It's no secret that I'm a Stella McCartney fan, but these nautical heels with cute boat print detail (£387) leave me literally weak at the knees.
The Look For Less: J Brand Shoreman Sailor Pant
Sailor pants are such fun. They're a quick and casual way to look nautical and fresh and what's not to love about those adorable buttons? These J Brand Shoreman Sailor Pant ($217) are adorable but ahoy mate expensive!
