Work has been particularly challenging this week (read frustrating.. is it Memorial Day Weekend yet?!) so I’m taking a little mental vacation courtesy of J.Crew’s Bali Adventure travelogue. What I wouldn’t give for an exotic escape and a suitcase filled with those beautiful outfits! If anyone else is having a rough week I hope these photos will give you a brief respite from your work day. After all, it is almost Friday!

Remember earlier last week when I was daydreaming about a summer trip to Maine? Well my wheels haven’t stopped spinning and I think we’re going to try and make this happen! In researching potential places to stay, I came across the  Captain Fairfield Inn and immediately fell in love. Designed by Rachel Reider the 9 room bed and breakfast is the perfect mix of old world charm and modern style and sensibility.

After spending some more time researching, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Inn was featured in Rue Magazine’s Holiday Issue (76-88). I envision myself sleeping quite well with that zebra headboard or David Hicks La Fiorentina drapes coloring my surroundings.

Have you been to the Kennebunkport area? I’d love to hear your tips!

Necklace | Painting | Beach Towels | Makeup Case | Sheets

It’s been awhile since my last “In Pursuit” post which of course means there have been quite a few additions to my wish list. Yesterday I checked off this Diana Delgado painting which I can’t wait to hang in our bedroom. In the same vein, I’m loving these lattice printed sheets. I am literally counting down the days until my pool opens Memorial Day weekend, and one of these ikat beach towels seems like a necessity for lounging. While I’m at it, I’d like to add a Steffanie Johnson tote for stowing sunscreen and other essentials. Finally, Loren Hope’s Roxy necklace is just the thing to jazz up all of my little white dresses. Anyone else as ready for summer as I am?

I came across Henry Isaacs’ work via the Kennebunkport Festival and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since. His dreamy seascapes with their moody blue palettes remind me of home and being by the water, something I desperately miss now that I live in DC.

We had briefly discussed a trip to Maine this summer (among a million other destinations and hair brained road trip ideas) and suddenly it’s shot straight back to the top of my list. I’m already picturing the perfect spot to hang my Henry Isaac masterpiece..

P.S take a peek at some of his work that is being sold to benefit one room school houses in coastal Maine.

In an ideal world my home would be filled with John Robshaw linens. The Indian block printed textiles are colorful and classic with just the right amount of bohemian flair. I’m particularly drawn to the blue colorways which remind me of my collection of blue and white ginger jars. If only I had made their sample sale last week in NYC!
