Lighthouse

“I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came."- JFK 

Any time I'm visiting Rhode Island, I always try to make it to the lighthouse at Castle Hill Inn. Tucked away on a rocky point- cue the cliche- it's the perfect escape. Perched on the rocky edge whilst watching fisherman and the boats break through the waters before they head out to the Atlantic brought a moment of serendipity to my day. The ocean has this ability to make you feel so small, but is incredibly comforting as well. 

Last weekend was no different and as always, my hair was a windy mess and I was dressed like a Acne Studios 90s kid. 

It's true: some things never change.

It's a double post kinda day! See today's main post here. Anyway, I am sharing my snaps from my weekend travels in New England. It is simple beautiful here in the fall and I feel so blessed to experience it. As I said today- I am off to D.C. tomorrow! Follow along on Instagram:(@sailingseastyle)

Red & Windy

To say the least, this weekend was very busy and fun. I was up in Rhode Island to visit my brother at Brown for family weekend. I also had a chance to stop by the HOCR in Boston where I saw Sarah at the KJP x BB booth. I also ran into Mackenzie, Carly and their friends Amy and Emily which was a nice surprise. Back in Newport, we stayed at the Castle Hill Inn. The view there is absolutely breathtaking from sunrise to sunset. While shooting these pictures yesterday morning it was breezy- hence my wild little bun. This easy sweater dress is a new favorite of mine. It's very versatile- I paired it with a fur vest and ankle boots for dinner the previous night. 

New England is stunning in the Fall. The foliage surrounds you, the sun is shining and the water glistens. On the way home, we stopped in the tranquil town of Stonington, CT. We have been there before for lunch but it gets even more charming during the fall. The streets are lined with quaint New England homes with pumpkins in the front and fallen leaves scatter the sidewalks. It was a nice moment driving by with the windows down observing the classic beauty that Autumn brings.

Summertime Haze

If you have been following along for awhile, you would know how much I love beaches during the Fall/Winter and when they are hazy and cloudy. I was in Rhode Island this week to bring my brother back to Brown for school and for a quick weekend getaway- another post on that later! The colder weather we had in RI made me very excited for fall. I love this sweater from Asos- the light pink keeps it sweet but the cutout detailing in the back adds an unexpected twist. *excuse the crazy hair- it was windy.
