Foster Huntington's photos.

Foster Huntington, sounds a bit like a law firm, but is actually a student at Colby. (These are all his fantastic photos!)

He’s a young man from the Northwest, who studys in Maine, and publishes a very stylish blog called “The Restless Transplant.”

But it’s pretty clear that Maine will accompany him wherever else he goes.

His blog reveals the life of a college student discovering himself, honing his new skills (great photos!) and absorbing the world around him. And he naturally understands how to build a ‘brand.’

He loves the stories behind what he perceives as the Maine ‘lifestyle.’ He loves clothing. Especially old clothing. He has great style. And he’s very fond of the color red.

Go take a look, and discover the Maine you know is there, but sometimes you don’t see.

And remember his name — Foster Huntington. Have a feeling it’ll be popping up somewhere fancy, if not on a label, in the not too distant future.

Spiked with witty, breezy, advice for getting the very best out of this fascinating state, MaineMaven.com is brimming with insightful tips about where to find the coolest stuff around.

The Maine Maven herself is the gifted Kristen Andresen Lainsbury.

Kristen’s impressive talents have been honed by 12 years as an award-winning lifestyle feature writer for the Bangor Daily News.

Many will know her as ShopGirl, the title of her wildly popular column, which showcased her charming, natural, writing style.

According to her site, “. . . she has set foot in every town, township, organized and unorganized territory in Maine, and she loves every single one of them, though not equally.”

When Kristen’s not poking around Maine, or being The Maine Maven, she’s providing PR for the University of Maine at Orono, her alma mater. You’ve seen her work in Maine Magazine’s ‘48 Hours In’ feature and in a multitude of regional and national publications.

Helping with the mixology are Jason Lainsbury, the Webmaster and Business Director, and Shawn Rice, the wonderful illustrator.

Thirsty for the spirit of Maine? Whet your whistle at Maine Maven.

Cheers!
