Sears Cottage

06 . 10 . 20

Some of you might remember that my friend Grant Gibson spends time in Maine every summer. I asked him today if he still planned to go since they have a two week quarantine for anyone coming into the state. I have read they might change this since most of the businesses in the state depend […]

I used to visit Maine in the summer when I first moved to New York but I’m well overdue for a trip now. It’s a popular destination for those looking for relief from the heat in beautiful natural surroundings so it’s no wonder that Gil Schafer fell in love with the Pine Tree State growing […]

The Way Life Should Be

08 . 28 . 18

While we’re on the topic of Maine, I love this home designed by architect Les Cole and decorated by interior designer Suzanne Kasler. I haven’t been to Maine in about 15 years so I think it needs to be on my must visit for next summer. The state’s motto, “the way life should be” certainly […]

I stopped by the Ralph Lauren Ladies Mansion last week to check out the new Ralph Lauren Home collections. Islesboro, the prettiest late summer collection was inspired by the “storied refinement of a grand coastal estate, where archival patterns and vintage inspired furnishings meet refreshing ease ad enveloping warmth.” Islesboro is a lovely island off […]

As much as I love traveling, there are only so many places I can go in a year. Some of my friends are also experts on certain cities and countries so I’ve asked a few of them to contribute travel posts for Habitually Chic. I couldn’t think of a better person to begin than my […]

The Way Life Should Be

As excited as I am for autumn, I am feeling a little sad that summer is coming to an end. There were a few places I wanted to travel and didn’t make it to including Maine. The state motto says, “the way life should be” and this house in Maine decorated by Susanne Kasler looks […]

Magical Maine Wedding

07 . 17 . 17

I always think it’s interesting that the word for wedding in French is marriage. I think we’ve all seen a situation where someone seemed to spend more time thinking about the wedding than the marriage itself. That’s why I love weddings that look and feel very personal and understated. I saw the wedding of Nathalie Love […]

The other Maine cottage that I wish would be featured again belongs to Marina Rust Conner.  It was built in 1899 by her great-great grandmother, Mrs. George Bird. When it appeared in Vogue, it looked a little more fussy and Victorian inside than Gwen McCaw’s renovated house.  It would be interesting to see if any […]

Magical Maine

05 . 30 . 11

Vogue.com posted a photo of this house in Maine in their Best Hostess Gift guide recently and it reminded me how much I love this house.  Some of you might remember that it was published in the first issue of Vogue Living in 2006.  The house known as Mitchell Cottage, was built in 1916 for […]
