It is Spring in the stores, and if it ain’t nautical, it is a ruffle. Sometimes it is both!

I love this cardigan from Gap for Spring 2009. Has a great ruffle down the front, and is available in 3 color combos!

J. Crew has really commited to the ruffle for Spring 2009.
I love both the woven shirts above as a great feminine update for the buttondown shirt for women!

While not technically a ruffle, still a great texture at the neckline from J. Crew for Spring 2009.
I love this pleated vee neck knit top from J. Crew for Spring 2009. I think the bowed handbag is fabu as well, but is not pictured on the website, so may not have made it into production for Spring 2009.
This bowed satin clutch is available in 5 colors from J. Crew for Spring 2009, so snap it up! Great pop of color for evening and that little black dress (LBD)!
