Marks & Spencer

Now it has been said that Marks & Spencer are a laggard in the industry however I think it is important to include this television advert in my research as it shows how the trend is hitting all markets. I was also interested in the new celebrity endorsement M&S have, Lisa Snowdon, VV Brown and Danni Minogue!


Anthropologie




Today's visit to Anthropologie on Regents Street was a delightful surprise including a large model boat as a display area and boat snaps as decor.

Beyond Retro

This old anchor and helm is on display at the entrance of Beyond Retro in Great Marlborough Street, London (West End).

River Island



Topshop


I visited Topshop yesterday where I spotted these two garments, the first was a sailor like top which was almost uniform like with the collor, along with this little rope edged cardigan detailed with gold anchor buttons.

The Olive Branch



On a recent shopping trip to the Olive Branch store in Billericay, Essex I found a bundle of little treasures which had hints of the nautical theme. There were canvas paintings of boats that had quirky captions such as Ahoy! and cushions with anchor design beach huts.

Nicole Farhi


I noticed this necklace when visiting the Nicole Farhi store back in February, which also came in the colour red (typical nautical colours). I felt this style necklace reminded me of the chain of an anchor.
