Vacation or Staycation: Some Summer Travel Tips
1. Packing tips
Packing takes on different meanings…and, of course, what we pack, how much, how many, and how we use them all!! Is it for a night, weekend, week, or month? “Travel sizes” are available in so many.
2. "Out of Town" Vacation
A trip “out of town” - the Cape, the Hamptons, Hawaii, Malibu, Mexico, Sanibel, Riviera or “out of doors” may all require: Bags and Totes, Sunscreen, Hats, Pillows, Beach Towels and Sunglasses.
Beach Set (Serena and Lily) | Oversized Ribbon Straw Beach Tote (Mark and Graham) | Missoni Beach Towel (Nordstrom) | Marimekko Lokki Wavy Beach Towel (Nordstrom) | Marimekko Unikko Floral Beach Towel (Nordstrom) | Marimekko Pieni Unikko Accent Pillow (Nordstrom) | Premium Beach Umbrella (Nordstrom)
Fruit & Veggie Mix (Nordstrom) | Sugarfina Tropical 3-Piece Candy Bento Box (Nordstrom) | The Chai Box (Nordstrom) | Sereni-tea 6-Piece Bundle (Nordstrom)
We might be packing essentials, as well as coolers, dinnerware, chairs, tables and bikes!!
Of course, water, wine, food, fruit of the season and healthy treats cannot be forgotten!
3. Staycation
Entertaining in our own homes is such a joy!! Summer is here!! No passport or travel required! Think bamboo, rattan, cotton, linen, and wicker wrapped everything!!
Juliska Provence Rattan Flatware Basket (Nordstrom) | Juliska Provence Round Rattan Serving Tray (Nordstrom) | Juliska Natural Bamboo (Bloomingdale's) | Juliska Iberian Journey (Nordstrom) | Mexico Vin Azul Napkins (Williams Sonoma) | Sonora Outdoor Etched Tritan Margarita Glasses (Williams Sonoma) | Orrefors 'Intermezzo' Double Old Fashioned Glasses (Nordstrom) | NEST New York Rattan Bamboo Scented Candle (Nordstrom)
Juliska founders, Capucine and David Gooding, have created a whole world of Bamboo for us to enjoy…bringing nature in all year long, while bringing people together! Let’s enjoy, especially these summer days. We can even pack a picnic with bamboo flatware, too! Very chic!!
Bordallo Pinheiro Watermelon at Neiman Marcus (Neiman Marcus) | Bordallo-Pinheiro Pineapple (Williams Sonoma) | Bordallo Pinheiro Melon Tureen (Ross-Simons) Pinheiro Maria Flor Daisy Plates (Weston Table) | Personalized Monogram Bandol Stripe Cocktail Napkins (Caspari)
Simply “packing” from our own kitchens to outdoor tables can be fun too…in second homes or not!! Whimsical, hand-crafted collections from Portugal’s Bordallo-Pinheiro always make me smile and transport immediately with a wink and a glance!! Watermelons galore - LOVE!! You can fall in love with charming Pineapple Pitcher, Melon Tureen and Daisy plates for fun?
Enjoy your “travel” time till next week… xoxo MMK
