Ahoy Matey! Sachin + Babi Goes Nautical - Resort 2014

I can't swim... I'm claustrophobic...and I suffer from motion sickness...but I'm still obsessed with nautical style. It's an enduring and classic style that makes me wish that I could tie a proper knot or sail away off the coast, but I guess I can settle on being land-locked if I could look this chic. 

* Rock The Look For Less $$$ *

Even though runway collections offer us creative and new ways to interpret a style, most designer offerings are out of our reach and not too wallet-friendly. So of course, I had to show you how I would rock nautical style for less. I'm a big believer in mixing high and low pieces. I tend to spend more on accessories because I can incorporate them into a variety of looks and you can still rock them for decades. Clothing is a different story, gone are the days where cheap meant shoddy quality or unfashionable options. So I spend a lot less on clothing than I do on accessories. In this set, I wanted to balance the casual aspect of nautical style with my glam city girl vibe. 

How do you mix nautical pieces with your personal style?
