Saturday Morning Daydreams

I'm pretty sure I could rotate just these three dresses on a continual basis all summer long and be completely content.  Pretty cuts in vintage-meets-sailor styles?  I'm in.  Today might just be a shop ModClothday.  (FYI, all three of these incredibly cute dresses can be found there). 

I think I have an actual crush on this hand-lettered typography print by artist Jon Contino.  I want to hang it on my wall and gaze at it 500 times a day.

I'm not sure what I like best about this spread from a 1957 edition of McCall's Magazine - the fact that it's vintage vintage (a fashion spread from the '50s looking to the '30s for inspiration), or those adorable rompers (second from right in both images).    

Maybe I'm a little biased, but I happen to think that my fiance is one talented photographer.  I absolutely adore this picture that he snapped last fall with a vintage medium format camera.  The boathouse was built in 1907, and I love how the eerie lighting perfectly captured the energy of the building.

This laser-cut wood "Ahoy" necklace from Nevertheless is officially on my summer wish list. I mean, look at that rope detailing on the letters, and the tiny anchor above the "y."  Want. 

Admittedly, I have all kinds of mushy romantic stuff on the brain these days, which I think just comes naturally when you're planning a wedding.  But how can anyone deny the awesomeness of these matching anchor tattoos?  I kind of want to copy them.  (source)  

The nautical trend has been going strong for a couple of years now, but this morning my daydreams are especially filled with thoughts of setting sail and drifting off on sea-breezy summertime waves.  (Or just lounging by the seashore with fresh fruit and plenty of pina coladas).
