Decked Out

Dining out

Intro by Nina Bays Cournoyer, Styled and Photographed by Drewe and Kate,

It’s been forty days since the official end of summer, and by now most of us are experiencing waves of wanderlust.

If a cruise to some exotic port isn’t in the books, you can still channel those sea-faring vibes right here in Wilmington. With so many cuisines to sample, you and your discerning palate can take a quick jaunt to Greece, Thailand, or Cuba, all while barely leaving your zip code.

Dressing for the deck of a luxury yacht doesn’t have to be much different than a night on the town locally. Layers are always key, so you can throw on a sweater or shrug when out in the open air and peel it off once you’re settled in a cozy taverna. Even your favorite pair of jeans can conjure up a night on the Aegean – pair with an airy white blouse for a simple yet elegant look and top it off with a small clutch and some classic costume jewelry.

Now raise that glass of ouzo and toast to your very own bay-cation.
