Setting the Red, White & Blue Table

Carolyne Roehm

This is such lovely inspiration for setting the summer or Fourth of July table with red, white, and blue without being kitschy. Red and white parrot tulips, fresh strawberries, blue and white splatterware, and blue and white flatware. Linens include a red and white tablecloth and blue and white napkins. Colored glassware like these blue ones have become very popular.

Stump the Band

Do any of you remember the Stump the Band segment on Johnny Carson where an audience member would come up with the title of an obscure song and see if Carson or Ed McMahon or the band could come up with the song?

Summer Blush

Westman Atelier Blush Stick

My favorite item in my makeup bag is definitely Westman Atelier's blush stick. The Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick is universally praised for its creamy, foolproof formula and hydrating, natural finish. It melts into the skin like butter, making it easy to blend with fingers, a brush, or a sponge, and it can even double as a lip tint.
