Ahoy There!

America's Cup fever has infected San Francisco and it's putting many of us landlubbers in a nautical frame of mind.  These classics look at home whether land-locked or by the sea.

A sophisticated nod to those rope bracelets from summer camp (which are here if you're looking for your kids).  This chunky cotton rope necklace by Lizzie Fortunato is available on Chance, the brainchild of a former Kate Spade design starlet.

These stripes hail from Brittany's legendary St. James.  Choose from a palette of delicious colors.

If your look requires a bit more sparkle, J. McLaughlin offers a touch of shimmer with its Seashore Tunic.

And flats by Pretty Ballerinas were first spotted on Habitually Chic.  They're simply adorable!

Who knew that sailing could be so sexy?  What knockouts from Tory Burch (available this May).  Thanks again to Habitually Chic for the 411.

And because every sailor worth her salt knows how to throw one back.....
