Feeling Nautical


Something about spring seems to call for the return of all things nautical. I love the crisp, classic look of navy and white stripes. With my rapidly expanding belly, I don't think I'll be sporting the horizontal stripes which typify the nautical trend this season. But, I have found some adorable nautical inspired accessories that I can work into my plain jane maternity wardrobe.

How great are these pumps? I think they'd be perfect to pair with my boring navy maternity dress.

I love this striped tote. The rope handles are such a fun touch.  I tend to carry my life (and an extra pair of flip flops) in my purse so I love a big, roomy bag. And this one is a steal at $33!  It would make a great pool or beach bag too.

This pouch would be perfect to keep your lip gloss, cell phone and cash together in your pool bag.

These earrings are made from vintage buttons. Love them.

While I was shopping Etsy for accessories for myself, I came upon (and ordered) quite a few for baby girl. There are just so many precious things out there for little ones, I couldn't resist. But we'll save that for another post.

I love nautical stripes. Lately though I have noticed that I might have an unhealthy amount, ha! I just think it's so classic that they can't really go out of style if worn properly.

Love those heels! And that bag is too freaking cute! Good finds! Etsy is a dangerous place... don't get on late at night, it'll be the death of your checking acct!

Love navy and white. Since I don't look great in stripes, I often wear navy shirts with white jeans - you can totally rock that pregnant!

I also saw a very similar bag on the Today Show and totally wanted it!
