Tuesday Trends: Fringed & Fabulous

The designers tested the waters last Fall with fringe. For Spring 2015, they've gone full on fringe. No longer just for the wild west or the hippie chic crowd, designers have embraced free spirited fringe from day to evening. I have always loved the trend, and treasure the fringed pieces that I have collected over the years. A certain Chanel necklace comes to mind. I know it is just begging to be worn again!

Oh sweet Spring! After this Winter, I think we are all ready to soak up the sunshine and warmer weather. I am ready to celebrate almost anything. A cocktail and an appetizer always does the trick for me. I have gathered a stylish selection of  lighter but fancy fare, and presentation pieces that are party perfect for your next Spring soiree.  Cheers!

I love the upscale look of individual appetizers.  My "hostess with the mostest," good friend, Kelly, often serves this way at her stylish soirees.  This recipe is both refreshing and said to be very simple to create. Love the edible flower garnish, too!
