When it comes to decorating, entertaining, and gifting, we love to turn to our friend Ted Kennedy Watson, shop owner and author of Ted Kennedy Watson’s Guide To Stylish Entertaining. Here, we’ve asked Ted about his top hosting tips, beloved holiday traditions, and what he’s most excited to wear and gift for the season. Plus, this year Ted is bringing his holiday magic to the East Coast. Visit our Lexington Avenue store on November 29th-November 30th to shop the Watson Kennedy pop-up, featuring a curated collection of Ted’s favorite goods and gifts. Kindly RSVP at events@jmclaughlin.com.
