Chic, fast, and fuel efficient, the superyacht Adastra has just launched into China's Pearl River after four years of construction. Built by McConaghy Boats in Zhuhai China, the Trimaran Adastra can be controlled by an iPad. While it's a geeky wonder, it's also a very design-forward one as well. Keep clicking to take a tour!

Just when we thought we couldn't get enough of the striped-tee trend, three stylish celebs showed their stripes in nautical-inspired dresses. Alexa Chung styled hers with black tights and a chic trench during London Fashion Week, Sarah Paulson donned a thicker, slouchier stripe at last month's Independent Spirit Awards, and newly coiffed Brooklyn Decker paired her fitted French Connection frock ($84) with ballet flats and a black tote. Each lady puts her own spin on the piece and proves that an LSD — little striped dress — can make for a simple, flattering, and totally classic look. Check out the pieces below — and get shopping!
Hey there little sailor! Nautical clothing pieces have won over generations of shopping mamas for their classic, French style and this season is no exception. We've seen a whole fleet of adorable sailor-inspired pieces for kids, but you can sneak the trend into your little one's nursery for a daily dose. Take inspiration from this full sail nautical nursery and add a hint of sea life to your little one's living space with these salty accessories.
Anchor's away! Nautical clothing pieces have won over generations of shopping mamas for their classic, French style. Jacadi, the traditional French clothier, has mastered the classic style with its signature Marinière striped shirt ($50), buttoned sailor pants, and double-breasted peacoat. Last year's Breton-striped shirts are still the basis for this seaworthy style, but this season the trend moves on to more sailor-inspired pieces. Shop the look, including Jacadi's trendsetting pieces, by clicking on the items above.
If anyone can make clothes fit for a cruise, it's print-master Mara Hoffman. This time around, the designer named her print "Electric Garden." The vivacious pattern fuses together acid green, turquoise, salmon, gray, and black; it's slightly trippy, yet totally pretty. Cuts range from signature maxis and strapless dresses to short shorts and cropped pants. This is the most daring look of all; the red bustier is a sexy classic, while the paperbag cropped pants feed into the printed pants trend. Overall, this collection is perfect for a picnic, bay cruise, or late-night dance party.
This week's Fab stylist challenge presented a sassy Anja Rubik in sexy nautical gear. We asked you to reinterpret the trend for the masses, and marcied23 absolutely did. Her sassy sailor fuses a cheeky skirt with killer knotted Burberry heels and nautical-inspired jewels. The straw boater hat is freakin' adorable, while red aviator sunglasses bring in some warmth. Lastly, the navy buckled clutch and easygoing tee add deep blue sea depth. The next challenge kicks off Monday, until then, congrats!
Now that Summer is officially here, I can't stop thinking about pools, lakes, beaches, and any sort of water sport. While my eyes may be peeled for the World Cup, my mind keeps sailing away with the tides of the ocean. Come check out all the ways to anchor your home in this week's edition of Etsy Finds.
I've tried the nautical look, I've tried the mod look, but I've yet to do the mod nautical combo. Fashionave921 exemplifies this look to perfection with her thigh-high gray tights, blue jumper, and yellow cardi. I'm smitten with her saltwater sandals, and her white belt cinches the whole look together.
Come back and tell us what you have on!
Congrats to fashionave921!
Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!
This week's Look Book showed signs of Summer — bare legs, short skirts, sandals. My favorites are sassy in Sydney, bikini babe, casual cute, edgy glamor, statement necklace, and sail away. I've long missed the sailorette look, that's why femmeriots's outfit stood out from the bunch.
