J T'aime....Coco Chanel

Posted 13/04/10

The simple, yet classic Breton Top was worn mainly by French sailor's long before Madame Coco changed the fashion scene in the 1930's. The nautical-looking top truly conjures up the essence of Coco Chanel. This classic piece should be a key player in every girl's wardrobe, simply because by pairing it with a simple pair of rolled up jeans - et viola...nothing else to say dressed-down chic never looked so good.

This spring/summer, havetolove has stocked up on the most adorable Breton top, from Sonia By Sonia Rykiel, who once again puts her quirky touch in to a classic piece by adding a detachable chain necklace, decorated with mini Eiffel Towers. The 'Je T'aime Paris' style is perfect for this season's Parisian trend. The stripes are perfect for any nautical look. One simple top, fit for two different trends...Coco Chanel would be proud!

The nautical trend is again key this spring, where stripes will dominate, providing us with that crisp classic look which always looks so effortlessly chic. Whether it be quirky striped tops or sweaters, teamed with a classic cut jeans and a rolled up arm blazer, the look is so simple. We expect to cater to all your nautical needs this season, with not only Sonia By Sonia Rykiel following suit, but also Bolongaro Trevor and Manoush!

To polish the look, we have the perfect selection of 'look at me' sunglasses...the ideal option being the Marc Jacobs square frame navy shades! (as pictured) But the motto here is the bigger the better! and we have no shortage of oversized sunnies...classic oval shapes from Marc By Marc Jacobs with colourful logo detailing, or the perfect Jackie O style, jet black with a fully tinted lense...now that's dramatic.

Or if you like to lead the fash pack, as we do, avaitors remain the style that speaks volumes. Whethers its fresh and colourful from Carrera or sultry and statement from Alexander McQueen...we have everything to perfect the nautical look.

bye for now
