The “Boutique De Noel” by Le Jardin Francais will offer a unique selection of European holiday decor by flloral and garden designer Marie-Laure Coste-Dujols. She is known for an amazing eye for elegant environments, an acute feeling for authenticity, and a unique talent for creating a sense of luxury and intimate charm.

Marie-Laure’s Holiday Décor creations will be available for a limited time at the Boutique de Noel, where you will be delighted by elegant and truly distinctive wreaths, topiaries, potted bulbs and holiday decorations to embellish your home this season.

Visit the Boutique: Westside Urban Market, 1198-B Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA 30318. Building to the left of Taqueria de Sol.

If you’re looking to go somewhere exotic but still have some comforts of home, look no further than the LT Travel Connection-recommended Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), which opened just two short weeks ago. The 121-acre property features eleven restaurants, fifteen bars, eleven pools, a club, Hard Rock’s signature Rock Spa, a Niklaus-designed golf course, and other amenities.

The hotel has teamed up with Palace Resorts to make this Hard Rock all-inclusive, and if you book soon, you can save up to $215/couple and be eligible for other incentives. Hard Rock, oddly enough, doesn’t have many photos available on the website, but I did manage to track down a few pre-opening photos from the Hard Rock blog. Enjoy, and maybe you can go and supply us with photos of your own!
