Roped In

Nautical styling always looks good and as long as you don't take it too literally, you will always be in style. Kathy Misick looked to nautical inspired rope details for her Spring/Summer '08 collection and it turned out surprisingly sexy.

If you're looking for a way to get the same feel for a fraction of the price, turn to Nantucket Knotworks. They sell mostly rope bracelets and key rings, but these two items are more sophisticated while keeping with the theme.

Belt a floaty dress with the Whaler Belt to draw on Kathy Misick's look. The necklace is made out of nylon twine, so it will keep its shape instead of getting tattered and grimy.
