3 Looks, 3 Ways: Georgie Morley
Georgie Morley grew up on Nantucket with an artsy, eclectic eye that eventually found its perfect match in the island's classic coastal charm. She was an artsy, crafty kid who didn't quite fit the cedar shingle mold. When she moved back as an adult, she slowly, unexpectedly, fell in love with all of it. The history, the building codes, the lightship baskets, the compass rose murals that have been carefully restored since the 1930s. She's converted. Mostly. She still brings the funk.
Today Georgie shoots weddings, creates content, and spends her free time swimming at Fisherman's Beach, rollerblading down Milestone Road, grabbing coffee at Pip and Anchor, and going out to eat with her girlfriends as much as possible. In summer, that's basically every night. We approve.
We asked Georgie to build a HART stack and take us through three of her favorite spots on the island.
Her favorite loop into town. Cedar shingles, salt air, something new to notice every single time. Carnelian Gemstone Necklace with a pink and brown striped scallop shell from the Shell Bar (shop similar here). Warm, coastal, a little unexpected. Topped off with our Small Ribbed Heart of Gold Huggies.
A 1930s mural she has always loved, carefully restored and very much worth stopping for. Our Belcher Chain with Basket Vesta Case, Oyster Vesta Case, Love and Fear Coin, Gold Scallop Shell, and a Mini Blue Enamel Evil Eye thrown in for good measure.
Waterside cottages, a little daydreaming, and a Glow Water cocktail at Sistership waiting at the end of it all. Carnelian Gemstone Necklace layered with a Gold Lurex Necklace Cord strung with a Baroque Pearl and Enamel Fish from the Shell Bar. The perfect Nantucket afternoon.
The Charms
The Basket Vesta Case felt personal. The roots of the lightship basket design originated with the Wampanoag people in the 1800s. Later, sailors on floating lightships crafted them to pass the time at sea. By the 1900s they had become a genuine art form and a Nantucket icon. Georgie's stepfather, Michael Vienneau, is a Nantucket-based Scrimshander—one of the island's historic art forms rooted in the whaling era. He carves the antique ivory that sits on top of each basket. "Growing up I always shrugged them off. Now I fully appreciate how special they are."
The Oyster Vesta Case for the coastal life she lives and loves. The Love and Fear Coin because some talismans just find you.
In Her Own Words
What do these spots mean to you? "Each one captures a slice of Nantucket's endless coastal charm. There's a strict historical building code out here so all the structures look very cohesive and distinctively Nantucket. I always seem to notice something new to photograph."
Does your personal style lean into the Nantucket aesthetic or find its own lane? "Growing up I wasn't drawn to the aesthetic at all. Moving back I gained a whole new appreciation. My style feels more aligned with Nantucket's classic coastal look now — but I'll always bring a more eclectic, crafty, funky vibe."
Favorite spot for a drink? "Sistership. They have a new cocktail this summer called Glow Water — a refreshing pineapple situation I can't get enough of. There's a mocktail version that's just as delicious."
Your mantra? "Infinite patience, immediate results. Every time I make a decision from a long term mindset it has set me up for success. Life is supposed to be experienced and savored in the moment."
