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.

Chanel Cruise Collection 09/10
The nautical trend is also visible in Chanel's cruise collection this year in footwear and the sailor uniform inspired garments.
Louis Vuitton Resort 2010 Collection
On the 19th February I visited the Louis Vuitton store in Mayfair where I found a few accessories which had a nautical theme. For example I saw the belt above which ties with rope and red/ blue bangles, also striped with a rope pattern.
Yacht Sale
This post is a little bit of a catch up. Back on the 3rd March I took a visit to Mayfair and on the corner of Dover Street is a company called 'Camper & Nicholsons' who were advertising a yacht sale. In every window around the building was a model of a boat/yacht which is very good visual stimulation for my project. The yacht sale highly links to the cruise collection, top designers showcase in between the winter to spring months when the wealthy take their yachts or go on a cruise somewhere warm to escape the cold.

Outside In
A recent visit to see a good friend resulted in taking pictures of her interior. Located in Leigh-on-sea, Holly's mother brings the sea views into her home with boat models scattered around the living area.

How to sail...
To begin my research on the nautical trend I headed to Leigh Broadway, Leigh-on-Sea to see what kinds of things they were selling in the stores which related to the trend. In the window of Sue Ryder Care charity shop there was a wide selection of books on how to sail, a visual book on sailing boats and even a book on sailing written in which appeared to be French. C'est Super!
