Set A Spring Table

Passover, Easter and Mother's day are approaching.  Many of us have entertaining on our minds. Setting a pretty table is part of the fun for me.  This post features pretty plates, big and small, place cards with personality, lovely linens and more. Get inspired here.

La Double J

Some of the most exciting tabletop inspiration lately has come from La Double J. Their patterns in Homeware are as exciting as their fashion. The mix and match of it all is the key to an interesting table.

On Brand Place Cards

 Table talk. Every dinner party needs a rockstar ot two.  You will have a blast deciding which moniker fits each guest - 6 of each saying: Badass, Hottie, Dreamboat, or Rockstar. These are luxurious with gold engraving and borders.

Dear Annabelle

 

With dinnerware this pretty, who will know that they are actually disposable? I have used these, and they are fabulous! If hand washed, they can actually be used again.

Signature Style: Show Some Shoulder!

Badgley Mischka Gown

Do you have a signature style? I bet that you do. Mine is the "off the shoulder" look. Because I don't like to go sleeveless, this look keeps me cool, and looking a bit less covered up. They say that our shoulders are the last body part to show age, and I am taking full advantage of that. If you haven't tried the style. Here's 13 reasons you should.

Styled in satin and a summer standout! This one shoulder look is as alluring as off the shoulder. {After clicking the link, scroll down to see pants.}
