being nauti.

aahh,

all the summer weather

this weekend

makes me want to be at the beach.

or on a boat.

or anywhere that appreciates all things

nautical.

but since beach/boat aren't in my near future,

i'm doing my best to surround myself with all things

beachy and nauti.

for starters,

i got a sweet new bag

made out of recycled sail from

Re-Sails in Newport

i've wanted one for sooo long, yay!

thanks mz! good surprise! :)

plus i've been following the

journey of Abby Sunderland...

holy cannoli was this a crazy week/weekend

for that girl!

16 years old,

trying to sail around the world.

non-stop.

by herself...

add in a storm in the indian ocean in

winter conditions

and you've got yourself one heck

of an adventure.

she was lost,

and then found,

and now on some crazy little french antarctic island.

INTENSE!!!

and lastly,

when i was home the other

weekend (RI that is),

my mom had left an article on my dresser

because she's awesome like that...

always prescreening websites, papers, etc 

for things that i might actually want to read.

about this company that a couple of 

Salve Regina kids started up

called

click to check out the rest of their website.

it's hysterical.

and genius.

rather inappropriate,

but ya gotta hand it to them,

very catchy slogan

and the anchor/nautical themed

gear is an obsession 

clearly shared by many this season...

not just crazy new englanders!

i really want this sweatshirt...

seems like a worthwhile purchase

and supports the locals.

win!

and clearly they should hire me

to develop new slogans because

obvi 'nauti' has some serious potential.

oh yea,

and i decided to reinforce the fact

that i'm never going to grow up

by wearing one of those

rope bracelets that every

13 year old surfer-dude(tte) rocks.

holler.
