Given my love of the ocean, my simultaneous attraction to ocean-themed items should come as no surprise. Over the years, family members often gifted me all things shark. While I’ve grown away from the novelty t-shirts and figurines for the most part, I still love a bit (okay, a lot) of fishy goodness in my life. If you saw this post, you know I have plenty of undersea paraphernalia lurking in my wardrobe and this girl didn’t even break a sweat when tasked with styling my homemade shark dress.
So, for my current Lust List, I decided to share all of the aquatic goodness that caught my eye over the past few weeks (you can see last month’s list here). It’s funny how, once you notice it, marine-themed goodies are EVERYWHERE. So, without further adieu, here’s a round up of the latest things I’m lusting after…
For Your Undersea Kingdom
Most of my travels have been long overseas journeys – I would love for this Travel Map to remind me where I’ve left pieces of my heart.
I need this mug immediately. Like yesterday.
Okay this one isn’t ocean-themed…but HOW COOL IS THIS PILLOW??
There would be some fun maritime shower adventures with this shower curtain…
Thanks to the days of email and google we forgot about a time when the most tragically romantic form of communication was a message in a bottle, wondering who might answer your heartfelt letter.
For Swan Diving
I have yet to find the perfect vintage bathing suit, but this one might just fit the bill.
And if I’m heading to the beach, I might as well have a whale bag to carry all beach essentials…
As my skin is on the whiter side of pale, sun hats like this one plus a good SPF 50+ is a must…
I love the bodice on this 1950s bathing suit. It could do double duty as a top for vintage circle skirts too!
This retro bathing suit is also too cute for words (and thankfully in a range of sizes). There’s also a bikini version too!
For Twirling in the Bubbles
I absolutely adore the fish scale print on this dress…
A fiery dress to wage war on all things water. I would literally DIE of happiness if I could fit into her. Someone petite please buy this dress. Please please put me out of my misery…
I love how the ruched bodice on this 1950’s beauty looks like ripples on the surface of the sea…
There are few things that make my heart skip a beat like a good sailor dress like this one.
The Mister and I are planning a Fiji trip in September, and I can’t think of a better mental picture than walking down a beautiful Fijian beach wearing this dress…
I love when a print looks like a geometric pattern, and then when you look up close it reveals so many levels of awesome. This skirt is amazing (and I’m sorely tempted by the matching cardigan…)
This beauty shimmers like a black seal dancing in the waves…
And ohhh this Hawaiian print beauty… Life would be full of Mai Tais and sunsets in this dress.
Just Because
It’s as if Ariel herself fashioned a lovely vintage bag and adorned it with shells…
I have no doubt I would sleep well with a fish-tastic lavender eye pillow to send me to dreamland…
Everything about this bag reminds me of emeralds found in sunken treasure…
These beautiful vintage barrettes remind me of seabirds…
Would a look ever really be complete without a pair of ombre tights that emulate diving into the deepest depths of the ocean?
The perfect neutral bag! I love the wave motif. And I can rationalize the purchase because it would go with nearly everything in my wardrobe…
Which is your favorite? Ohhhh would that we were all independently wealthy. If anything is swimming its way into your wardrobe, let me know. I have no doubt a few of those lovelies will be making their way into mine…
Fishing you a happy weekend! (Hey, I never said I was cool.)
xoxo
