Josephine staples to go from desk to dock
Working from a home office has a way of softening the edges of personal style—long hours at the computer can slip into a rotation of uninspired staples: slouchy knits, well-worn sweatpants, comfort over intention. At least, that’s where Karen and I found ourselves after a year of building MyMaine from the ground up.
As women who have always found joy in the ritual of getting dressed, we felt called to mark this milestone with a sartorial reset—packing away the overly casual and reintroducing pieces that reflect both who we are and where we’re going.
With an eye toward refinement and ease, we turned to Janet Kooyenga, owner of Josephine at the Shops at Falmouth Square, to curate looks that move effortlessly from daytime meetings to evening gatherings with friends—each ensemble capturing that luminous, golden-hour energy that defines a Maine summer.

At Hogfish in Cape Elizabeth, artists gather to create work that restores connection—to themselves, to each other, and to the world around them.
Regenerative arts—inspired by regenerative agriculture and indigenous wisdom to restore, revitalize, and heal ecological and social systems—began in the 1970s but gained momentum in the 2010s. Maine’s Hogfish in Cape Elizabeth has emerged

At Maine’s borders with New Hampshire, Quebec, and New Brunswick, culture, history, and flavor flow freely.
Geography nerds know one curious factoid about Maine:it’s the only state to border just one other state but two provinces.
At the edges of the country, Maine is pushed by New Hampshire into Quebec and New Brunswick. The effects of this oddity transcend lines on a map, however. Mainers living and working in communities on the borders see that the history and flavors of local life celebrate all that emerges from creative exchange.

From Spain to Maine, lobster is a love language.
As we head into the summer season, my mind turns to all the amazing ways we get to enjoy lobster right here in Maine. Be it enveloped in buttery, flakey pastry at TWELVE, or crowning a pop-over with black garlic butter at Sur Lie, or New England style with mayo and lemon butter at Luke’s Lobster or even delivered fresh from Sopo Seafood Market—we are grateful to have fallen in love with lobster, again.
