Long Weekend Getaway: Luxury Lounging at Home

luxury loungingIt's a long weekend, ladies and gents, and the options are endless. However, if you're the least bit like me, the idea of a perfect weekend "escape" is actually staying exactly where you are. The days are crazy busy and the last thing I want to do is get all chaotic trying to plan a quick trip, packing, travelling, just to spend one day somewhere before having to return home. I'd rather just stay in the warm, comfort of my own home. Real relaxation for me is wearing the same luxurious loungewear all weekend, maybe doing a little something decadent for my skin and hair, and curling up in a cashmere throw with a good book, a good man, or both.

Assuming that the first thing you're going to do when you wake up -- and that's when you wake up naturally, without the buzzing of an alarm clock -- is eat a decadent breakfast of French toast stuffed with cream cheese and fresh fruit (cooked by someone else), let's say the second thing you do i jump into the shower to buff your skin with diamonds. The diamond-infused beauty body set is actually made of tiny pulverized diamonds -- pure luxury.

Though "loungewear" is often times silk or super-soft cotton pajamas, I prefer to hang out in a tracksuit, which is just as comfortable, but can double as streetwear at a moment's notice. Since we are talking luxe here, the Burberry tracksuit is quite fitting. The pants and jacket are $395 at Neiman Marcus.

I know that not all of us are okay with fur, but for those of us who are, Patricia Green's Whistler Mink Slippers let you indulge your feet in luxurious mink on the outside and shearling on the inside. The slippers are originally priced at $1215 for the pair at Saks Fifth Avenue, but are currently on sale for $145.

In the late afternoon and into the evening, there's nothing better than curling up on the sofa, wrapped up in super-soft, super-warm cashmere. Scandia Down's pure cashmere blanket comes in both King and Queen sizes for the bed, but that certainly doesn't bar you from pulling it into the living room in front of the fireplace. The blanket is made from 100% pure Mongolian cashmere, and is made in Italy. The king size blanket is $1,500.
