This Week’s Top Story
Maze Home (735 Elm St., Winnetka, shop.mazehome.com) is holding its semi-annual sale on D. Porthault Linens. The Parisian brand—famously beloved by style icons Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Jackie Onassis—turns out linens, lingerie, and accessories with hand-screen prints. (Fun fact: Founded in the 1920s, D. Porthault is known as the first to put out printed bedsheets.)
Running in store and online, Maze’s sale takes 20 percent off all in-stock items from the luxury brand. Look for everything from bed linens to cosmetic bags, pillows, lingerie and robes, and tabletop items.
Our picks? Dainty cocktail napkins embroidered with blue lilacs (regular price $195), a floaty robe with ruffled sleeves (regular price $400), and a summery duvet cover in blue-and-white striped percale (regular price $1,200). The sale runs through June 30.

Afterwards, hop on a two-hour boat ride on the Chicago River and take in the sights while sipping champagne and noshing on snacks. The package goes for $325; find more details here.
Dana Hotel and Spa’s (660 N. State St., danahotelandspa.com) new “Made for Men” package offers pampering with a side of whiskey and golf. (That’s manly, right?)
