A weekend should not be a military campaign. In the high Newport season, one might host a morning sail, an afternoon nap, and an evening ball. Anything more risks perspiration, and perspiration is vulgar. Today’s hosts produce itineraries that require a map. #ProperlyStated #Etiquette #Leisure

August dinners were never complicated. A silver bowl of heirloom tomatoes, a loaf of bread, and a family vintage. Today's "aspirants" clutter the table with foams and truffle oils. It is, frankly, a vulgar display of effort. What's one thing you refuse to "elevate"? #ProperlyStated #SummerDining
