our friend the lovely monique gilbert gave us a great shout out on Filter’s ‘obsessive compulsions’.(thanks, doll- we heart you, too) Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, WisconsinWhy: How to describe this place? A giant playground for kids and grownups? Well, that points in the right direction but is grossly inadequate. Rope swings, hammocks, canoes, teepees, a tree house (I’ve been there twice and slept in the tree house both times), four wheel ATVs, cook outs, archery, bonfires, a beach, etc. I visited Camp Wandawega for the second time over this past Memorial Day Weekend (Chicago band Bare Mutants gave a live performance…

You mentally shopped your way through Moonrise Kingdom.Make your house look like a Wes Anderson-designed set at the Wandawega Camp Store.Founders Tereasa Surratt and David Hernandez (Ogilvy creative director and managing director, respectively) believe nostalgia is an essential part of a good life.

Tepee-, moccasin-, and tree swing-making kits take you back to craft hour. Stock up on camping gear (canteens, scoutmaster axes, classic…
Pardon me if I’m getting dangerously close to “Celebrities: They’re Just Like Us!” territory, but I saw on the morning news that Matthew McConaughey recently got married and he and his bride did it up camp-style. There were games set up all over their “yard” in Austin, TX, hammocks were hung from trees for relaxing and 47 luxury tents were used for sleeping. The tents were decked out with beds, white fur rugs and outdoor seating with doormats. While Googling this fancy schmancy camp wedding, I saw that Matthew (in addition to appearing shirtless on camera more often than not) had a vintage…

Glossed and found shoots an episode at camp- breaking rope swings, check out the full episode here from G&F: “The perfect weekend getaway, Wadawega is like summer camp from days gone by—and most of the furnishings are actually that retro. Owner Tereasa Surratt shows us around the Wisconsin camp grounds and we get nostalgic while relaxing, canoeing, shooting arrows, and taking shotski’s (did we mention this is a stylin’ summer camp for grown-ups?). We know exactly where we’ll be spending our summers from now on: see you in Elkhorn!”
Referred to as “Sweden’s most primitive hotel,” STF Kolbaryn has neither running water nor electricity. It is situated on lake Skärsjön in the seemingly endless forest regions of south central Sweden, only two hours drive from Stockholm. Guests stay in small forest huts, half built into the ground, with two wooden cots and a fireplace. You chop your own wood, start your own fires and cook your own food. But you also get to enjoy the water, either by boat or floating sauna, take midnight wolf pack tours in the woods, and hunt for forest trolls. In Sweden, the connection…
While traveling, it is quite important to be able to get all of your stuff from point “A” to point “B”. There is no better way to do this than with a stylish luggage bag, and these finds would do just the job.I am obsessed with the colors of these vintage luggage bags.Vacationing in style is a must – and you can’t make an impression with a boring gray luggage bag in tote behind a one-of-a-kind traveller.
