New range of nautical-themed things now available at All Things Original. Someone, I can't remember who, recently said to me something along the lines of 'the nautical trend is still hanging around - how boring'* which got me thinking - I don't really think of 'nautical' as a trend, it's just a look that I have always liked. I have a ridiculous amount of stripey tops for someone with only two arms, and I bet I'm not the only one.
Digging around in my files the other day I found something that definitively proves that wanting to look a bit like a sailor is really a lifelong commitment:
(Circa 1993, at someones wedding!) Oh, how my heart longs that I still had that hat, or those shoes. Alas to get big!
If you too have a weakness for such things, don't forget to enter my Easter giveaway, below, by the 9th of April
*or perhaps I read it somewhere? Not sure. Deep, anyway haha

I agree. It isn't a trend, but a lifestyle choice. I have also loved it all my life. I had the most awesome navy sailor dress when I was about 4 years old. Mmmm...wonder if it will fit...just joking. I love all your nautical things. Trend...bah!
Don't you just wish there was some magic person that would take your childhood clothes and make them big enough to fit you (in a flattering and not-pervy way)? When I was last at my parents I found a hand-knitted jumper with big licquorice allsorts on it that I LOVED when I was little but now it just about fits on my head. sad.
Trend or not, I agree I've always liked it. Classic and beautiful.
yes, nautical is not a trend, it's such a perfect classic look. i am very partial to anything nautical in flavour.
and i was only reminiscing last night about the best pair of jeans i ever had. i was about 11, they were medium blue, straight, with white piping along the leg and pockets. they were perfect.
