Kym's Christmas Tips

We wish to make your holiday spirited and special, so here are some quintessential L-atitude tips from our adventures around the globe. Everyday should be an adventure regardless of where you may roam.

Travel Fashion: Looking for a new way to reinvent your favorite haute bourgeois designer accessories? Why not tie on an authentic Camel tassels from Jaipur or Istanbul?s Grand bazaar! These boho treasures will not only help you identify your luggage quickly in an overhead bin they can also do double duty as a unique necklace bracelet or belt to wear once you arrive.

Home: For this seasons holiday centerpiece why not use a decoration commonly found in the great palaces of India. Take a silver or brass bowl- we used our silver Hammam bowl from Istanbul, fill it with a few inches of water then add a tea light candle and some rose petals.  This unique showpiece can become the main attraction of your table when placed in it?s center or used beside each place setting as finger bowl, display several as the main light source in an entrance way or powder room and you will instantly transform an ordinary space into a magical experience.

Holiday Decorations: Our favorite tree decorations are unique and unusual treasures we pick up through out the year. This year why not try silk covered bangles we uncovered in the Bazaar in Mumbai as additions to your regular ornaments. They are completely recyclable and can be given to your guests to wear home after a holiday party!

Gift Giving:  Why not combine the function of wrapping with the purpose of gift giving. Forget the tape, twine and ribbon, just take a beautiful piece of fabric and wrap it around a gift with a self tied bow. We like to use a scarf or sarong that can actually serve as the main focus of the gift and fill the box it encases with sand or seashells from one of our favorite exotic beach locales.

Happy Holidays!
