Here are my picks for getting some sailor influences into your wardrobe!
1. Go for bold!
I am really excited about MAC's new collection 'Hello Sailor'. Inspired by the glam of vintage pin-up girls, this collection is fun, sassy and cute packaging to boot. A bright red lip is a easy way to add a little pin-up to your outfit!
2. Button up!
Got a tired old navy jacket that you don't wear anymore? Simply change the buttons to some gold navy ones for an instant and cheap transformation- I've bought some at Centrepoint fabrics in Newmarket but I'm sure you can find them as most fabric/haberdashery stores. Better still, get some old gold plated chain and a couple of safety pins and make yourself some cardigan clips!
Get a tousled beach look with our Davines No.14 Sea Salt Primer. Spray it into the lengths of your hair when damp, scrunch the hair with your hands and allow it to dry naturally. Alternatively, spray it directly onto the roots and blow dry the hair upwards for some mega root lift.
A simple necklace or pair of earrings can really make a statement. Even just some bright red (or yellow!) bangles with a striped boat neck top would look great. There's a lot of awesome stuff online- go to www.etsy.com and type in 'Nautical' to the search engine for thousands of vintage and handmade treasures.

5. Get Stripy!
Anything striped screams 'Nautical'! Be sure to add in splashes of colour, even unconventional colour like yellow will look great. If you want to incorporate the stripes in a more subtle way, do it with a bag or shoes. www.shoesofprey.com is a website that allows you to design your shoes online and then they will make them for you. They have just come out with new cotton blend materials in stripes that you can use to create your shoes.
