Holiday Hosting with The Truitt House

Effortless Elegance: The Art of Hostess Dressing 

When it comes to effortless hosting, no one does it better than our friend,  Kristy McCormally of The Truitt House. Last week, Kristy hosted an evening in honor of designer and speaker, Holly Holden, and we were thrilled that ocean+main was along for the ride.  

The consummate hostess, Holly entertains flawlessly in her lovingly restored, architecturally significant home, The Truitt House in Suffolk, Virginia.  Originally built in 1909, this historic gem is a testament to the importance of historic preservation.   
When it comes to hosting, Kristy is proof that a comfortable, relaxed host makes for a comfortable, relaxed event.
"I return to caftans again and again: they make a lovely statement without stealing the show.
 They let me feel taller, more elegant, and comfortably grounded."

Paired with elegant Julie Ryan Designs jewelry, our green Kimono Sleeve Silk caftan was the perfect choice.

"When you feel beautiful—and appropriately dressed for your space—you slip into that steady hostess rhythm that makes guests feel cared for."

To learn more about the Holly Holden event as well as read about Kristy and her commitment to preserving the The Truitt House legacy, read Kristy's blog post here

Here’s to genuine Southern hospitality as well as a great hostess that makes every moment feel effortlessly beautiful.

Thanks for including us, Kristy!
