Many of us will be traveling
for Memorial Day weekend. 
Some of you will be at haute
hotels, and others at haute
homes of friends and family.
I'm going to the country. 
Here: helpful hints that will 
get you asked back 
again and again.

style. Diane Von Fustenberg's
Kian Luggage is a great choice.

become your fave travel companion.

something for the kiddies.

Keep It Covered.  Be mindful how
you dress for breakfast. You are
not in the privacy of your own home.  Bring your best sleep
and loungewear. Natori has a
chic and colorful collection.

We've covered the kids and the pets. But what to bring your hosts?


For Pool Owners. They can
never have enough Beach Towels.
The Cabana Stripe towels are 
a bright and classic choice.

Chances are you will share a
cocktail or two during your stay.
Sweet and Savory Cocktail Peanuts will keep the conversation going.


Hosting helpers. I love these
colorful Lacquered Trays.
They are less than $25.

And perhaps the most important
tip of all....write a thank you note!
Connor's Monogram Blank Notes
are beyond tasteful. Leave it on
your pillow or send after your visit.
