Get the look: Setting your table

I think it is so fun to set a beautiful table for guests and friends for any occasion. I recently was in a Pier 1 and came across some beautiful turquoise with gold trim cloth napkins, and then I saw them used in the image below, and thought they looked even more spectacular! Here's where to get the look:

An Organic-Glamo-rama Table Setting

Here is a beautiful table set by Kelly Wearstler. Her style has been scaring me a little bit lately, I gotta be honest.... But this is absolutely insane! It's glamorous and organic, and it feels so rich, and the artwork hung on the fabric wallpaper is beautiful too. What was she thinking with her Malibu home? I'll let it slide - she is still idol worthy to me!

Monique Lhuillier "Charms"

My first job upon graduating from college was with Monique Lhuillier. I worked in the Wholesale Sales and Customer Service Department and cried everyday... I lasted 7 months. But, I do look back on that job fondly. I loved being so close to the design house, my desk was literally 30 yards from where Monique was designing her creations!!

So - I came across her new collection with Royal Dalton, "Charms." And, it is pretty darling with small, gold detailed charms hanging around the border of the p-lace setting. It's definitely a lot more fun than the boring china patterns with a silver rim around the edges (no offense to those that chose that pattern!!!)

It made me smile!!
