"OUR home's design is inspired by a vacation lifestyle. For our family, that usually means the beach. Whether it's Montauk, Mustique or Harbour Island, we love the quiet, peaceful way we live when we are near the water. Why should you wait for it only when you are on vacation? We choose to live with colors from the ocean everyday." — Merry Vose MERRY's JOURNAL Summer Travels: We will be going to Montauk for an extended period of time and will also travel to Jackson Hole. We're hoping to slip another adventure in sometime before the summer ends. We love to take trips with our boys — I would say travel is our greatest extravagance. In your bags? An OndadeMar or Tori Praver bikini, K.Jacques sandals, easy cotton dresses, pareos and a big Epice striped bag. I have the best access to a vacation-ready wardrobe at Cabana — it's really why I started my business and continues to be the reason we stay narrowly focused on the labels and pieces we buy. Hotels you'll stay in: On Harbour Island, The Dunmore. Although it's a hotel, it feels like you are staying in the most well-appointed and cozy home. Where you'll dine: In Montauk, you can be sure to find us at Joni's, a little natural-food beach cafe. Our favorite dinner spot in Montauk is the Harvest on Fort Pond — they use fresh produce from their own garden and serve locally caught fish. The produce on the East End of Long Island is divine!
