Sketched flowers silk scarf ($510), Asprey. THANK GOODNESS THERE WILL be no shortage of colorful patterns on Nantucket (the preppy capital of the northeast seaboard) as C. Wonder returns to its 1,080-square-foot Federal Street boutique this spring. The store's interior will feature a cleaner, softer palette to highlight the kaleidoscope of colors in the clothing. The brand—well-known for its vibrant apparel, décor, and accessories (we particularly fancy the bicycle)—brings a distinctly nautical vibe to islanders and visitors with stripes in the form of C. Wonder's sunny straw bag paired with a short- sleeved, crew-neck T-shirt. Take Lola 41 by storm for cocktails in cropped white jeans and a bright jeweled rope necklace, or set an easy- breezy tone at your own dinner table with boldly patterned plates. 16 Federal St., 508-228-0803; cwonder.com BC Prints Charming C. WONDER REOPENS FOR THE SEASON ON NANTUCKET, AWASH IN VIBRANT HUES. All Tied Up Asprey teams up with artist Benjamin Seidler for a new line of silk and cashmere scarves. From the Martha's Vineyard ferry to a black-tie pool party, a silk or cashmere scarf from Asprey's new collection, created in collaboration with illustrator and designer Benjamin Seidler, is a head-turning accessory this spring. Seidler, a graduate of the prestigious Central Saint Martins art school, took inspiration from illustrated Victorian fairytale books and 19th-century wallpapers depicting palaces and starry skies. That feeling of lightness and whimsy was reflected in the choice of patterns: florals for the silk scarves ($510 each) and stars for the cashmere pieces ($895 each). "The silk floral scarf is available in three bright hues and is especially luxurious due to its hand-drawn pattern that does not repeat," says Kerri Horton, manager of the Asprey boutique at the Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common. The cashmere scarves mirror the night sky with hand-drawn stars and dense parallel lines that create a tonal appearance. Consider both perfect options to wear while watching the sun set over the water.
