These wine decanters are perfection. Completely versatile when it comes to environment – farmhouse, minimalist, etc. And that script is to die for. I rarely drink white wine, but would make an exception just to use these in a pair!

Loving the graphic appeal of these EZC Playing Cards that were designed for the visually impaired. They’re striking and easy to read, but I also think they’d make great display pieces. {via bltd}
Such a clean, pared down aesthetic on these Accento Serving Ware pieces from Konstantin Grcic and Serafino Zani. They include a cheese knife, risotto spoon, and pie/lasagna server and would look great with just about any dinnerware you’re already using.
My favorite wine glasses are a kelly green set that have a tulip-shape and an out-turned lip. Fitting for any season or occasion really. But it would be lovely to own their opposite, too. A set of pale pink On the Rise wine glasses that are perfectly round and bulbous and comforting to hold.

I’ve mentioned before how I’d really love to have a bar cart in my home. I have all the glassware and alcohol, the only thing missing is the actual cart. And maybe this vintage bar set that would make things much more classy.

I don’t know about you, but I make it through the holidays a little better with some social lubrication. So many friends, so much family, and so much to be grateful for. Which coincidentally means lots of talking and lots of socializing in a condensed amount of time, something I can’t say I excel at. Here are a few adult beverages that just might be perfect for your tree trimming party or Christmas Eve dinner. (As always, click on the image to go to the recipe source.)

c.) Gatos
d.) Roll-O-Decks

As in mine is right around the corner, this Thursday as a matter of fact. (My birthday, not my party.) And while I’m not much for extravagant celebrations centered around myself, who doesn’t love the idea of their special day being just that… special. I’m thinking my ideal par-tay might go a little something like this.
I’d definitely need a gorgeous dress (Or two. Or three.). Wardrobe changes are sooo in right now. Left to right: 3.1 Philip Lim handmade sequined silk dress, alice + olivia dress with organza skirt, Zucca accordion pleat lace detail dress
And of course no party ensemble would be complete without a bit of baubly bling. Left to right: limitless strand necklace + sera petal posts, scintilla triple strand + minted leaf earrings, beaded swag bib necklace + weimar earrings
And although I’ll probably end up barefoot by the end (all good parties end sans shoes), I probably shouldn’t start out that way. Left to right: Clara’s slipper flats, first-glow peep toes, eyelet platforms
Confetti System would of course be in charge of decorating every nook and cranny with sparkly awesomeness.
Shiny happy dinnerware would definitely be in order because we’d have to stop and eat at some point…
… you know, to soak up some of the alcohol. Left to right: brandy milk punch, ginger & lemon beer, hot chambord cider
And there would be lots and lots of cake, more than even I could handle, decorated with these banners.
You’re invited, think you can clear your schedule?
