Third Beach

Wearing: The Reformation jacket (similar), J.Crew sweater (woman's version), James Jeans c/o, Stuart Weitzman boots, Ray-Ban sunglasses

Sharing my last bit of my trip up to Newport last weekend. I haven't been to Third Beach in roughly 8  years, hence I've forgotten how incredible the beach is.


Before the Northeast turned into a massive icicle... uh, yesterday, I was wearing this denim jacket and fisherman knit combination everyday. Taking a chance here, and hoping I'll still wear it as a layering piece under my beloved Barbour (aka the only coat I wear)

Winter has officially arrived in New England. Playing in the snow will never get old and bundling up to just go to the car won't either. Yesterday, I went cross country skiing in the backyard- it was tons of fun but hard work! I can't wait to get back on the actual mountain shortly. Follow along on Instagram for snowy snaps.

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.

Weekend Whites

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! In New England, the weather was cool and crisp with clear blue skies. It was the last summer weekend. I spent my weekend outside as much I as could soaking it all in. Even though it's after Labor Day, I'm wearing white. Because style rules are meant to be broken. So, don't put your whites away instead pair them with riding boots and chunky knits. I love dressing very classic in the Fall for some reason- check out my Pinterest for some inspo.

Lately, I've been loving flag sweaters. I picked up a couple from Brandy Melville, and I've been wearing them non-stop. I love how you can mix them with classic pieces or edgier pieces to create a different look every time. For this outfit, I kept it classic with a collared blouse underneath for a preppy New England look- see my post on New England style here. My jeans are my favorite skinnies; coated jeans from Rich & Skinny. I color-coordinated the shoes to match my sweater. Gold arm candy, and simple sunglasses complete the classic look.

New England Pride

If you remember my old post Autumn Beach, I talk about how much I love being near the water in the colder months. Something about the calm water and hazy sky just makes me giddy. Because I’m a sailor perhaps I’m just naturally drawn to the water. My favorite places to go are on the water; Newport, St.Barts, La Rochelle, and quaint towns in New England. I am so lucky to be sailing in some of these amazing places too! My second favorite thing about these places is the amazing brands and lines that come out of them. St.Barts with it’s fashionable boutiques, La Rochelle with its quintessential French shops and brands, and New England with its classic and nautical style.

Most New England brands are made by hand in their home state. The brands are all about fine detailing and perfecting the simple New England style yet tweaking it to keep it authentic. Frank Clegg has mastered the art of timeless craftsmanship with their leather goods. I’ve been dying for a bag ever since my older brother, Reid, received one for his 19th birthday (yes, I do look to my brother for style inspiration-he has mastered classic style). Some of my favorite New England brands are Sail to Sable and The Ropes Maine. Sail to Sable is a line of stylish tunic dresses in a variety of prints and fabrics. The one I’m wearing below is corduroy giving it a little bit of a cozy/winter feel. I paired it with a leather belt to cinch the waist. Lastly, I think my love for The Ropes has been showed enough ! (See here and here) New England has both abiding brands that empathizes the original “prep of New England” look but also has up and coming designers that are willing to shake things up a little.

Keep on Sailing,
