Lighthouse

Wearing: Acne Studios sweatshirt, James Jeans c/o, New Balance sneakers, Ray-Ban shades

“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. 

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.

Stripes + Plaid

During  the weekend, my family and I made a quick trip up to Newport, Rhode Island to watch my brother compete in a college sailing regatta. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures above, but it was really cold! I ended up adding a leather jacket underneath the outer one for extra warmth! (Spring, where are you?!)

For my outfit, I did something I don't do very often, which is mixing prints. I have been pinning a lot of mixed print looks recently and I guess I was influenced to rock it myself. Even though the mixing is not as bold, I love how the look turned out. I am obsessed with the striped A.L.C. sweater which I scored off of Gilt. It's almost cropped but not quite. The plaid flannel is cozy while the shoes and bag (Clare Viver, surprise surprise) complete the red/white/blue color scheme. Patriotic, If I don't  say.
