Looking for READER Submissions!
I have LOVED sharing your nautical photos and finds! With the holidays over it's time to switch from Nautical Ornament of the Week to Nautical Photo of the Week. Here's what I am looking for (these are just examples-I'll consider anything nautical!):
* Nautical outfits: you, your child, your spouse, your pet, etc
* Nautical rooms (last year I posted several adorable nautical nurseries and an urban beach house. Keep them coming!)
* Nautical parties: baby showers, birthday parties, sorority events

And I'm back!
(post-wedding sleigh ride)
What a week! I still can't believe my sister is married! Our trip was so fun. I am really glad my sister and her husband (!!!) decided to have a small wedding. I think we all got to know each other pretty well by the end of the week. While it was really really really cold (think below zero DURING THE DAY) everyone had a great time (I think). I mostly took video while my other sister took photos so it will probably be a few days before I post more photos. I tried to take photos of my outfits every day but that didn't last very long. I will make some polyvore posts so you can see what I wore each day.

Nautical Honeymoons
I was a guest blogger over at Muffy Martini's blog while she was on her honeymoon! I am reblogging my nautical honeymoon ideas.
It was nearly impossible to narrow down my list to just 5 but I did it!
The Boatshed
Where: Auckland, New Zealand
http://boatshed.co.nz/
Style: Nautical chic, beachside bliss
There are three separate accommodation options: The Boatsheds (suites are reminiscent of seaside cottages and lazy days on the beach - designed to pamper), the Lighthouse (three storey retreat captures the romance of a traditional lighthouse), and the Bridge (the perfect place to while away an afternoon with a good book and a glass of wine) (credit: mrandmrssmith.com)
Activities: Walk along the golden sand beaches, explore nearby vineyards, check out local antique and craft stores
Bells at Killcare
Where: Central Coast, NSW, Australia
http://www.bellsatkillcare.com.au/
Style: Bold classy coastal
Bells at Killcare takes the best of country, coastal and city chic to make a boutique bouillabaisse which is part hotel, part chef's-hatted-restaurant, part private retreat. Stefano Manfredi brings New Italian heartiness to the kitchen, while classic Australia awaits on the surf beaches and walking trails of the surrounding Bouddi National Park” (credit: mrandmrssmith.com)
Activities: Swimming/surfing at local Killcare beach, bush walking in nearby Bouddi National Park
Cocoa Island
Where: Maldives, Indian Ocean
http://www.cocoaisland.como.bz/
Style: Faraway island fantasy
“Beautifully designed, this resort in the Maldives is the embodiment of understated elegance. Resembling a collection of Keralan boathouses, the individual over-water villas have soothing white-on-white interiors and teak flooring to create an ambiance of laid-back romance” (credit: mrandmrssmith.com)
Activities: Snorkeling, scuba diving, yoga, windsurfing
Sun Rocks
Where: Santorini, Greece
http://www.sunrocks.gr/
Style: Honeymooners' paradise, carved from the caldera basin
“Carved out of the caldera's basin, with astonishing views of the volcanic islands and the Aegean sea, Sun Rocks is exclusively for couples. It provides luxurious accommodation, combining Cycladic tradition with modern-day comforts. The sunsets are spellbinding” (credit: mrandmrssmith.com)
Activities: Swimming in cliffside pool, snorkeling, scuba diving, wine tastings
La Minervetta
Where: Sorrento, Italy
http://www.laminervetta.com/index_ing.htm
Style: Quirky nautical
“La Minervetta clings to the cliffs of Sorrento on the Amalfi coast with spectacular views of the Bay of Naples from the pool and sun terrace. All rooms are sea-facing with floor-to-ceiling windows” (credit: mrandmrssmith.com)
Activities: Swimming, shopping, concerts at Villa Communale park

What I'm Wearing to My Sister's Wedding!
The big day is coming up! I finally have my whole outfit picked out. I fell in love with the dress. Then I bought the cardigan. Then I figured let's go for the matching shoes too! The gold dress is just gorgeous in person! ****
