This is a fun take on setting a red, white, and blue table that is beachy and summery. Blue and white stripes are used in the placemats and napkins. 

Frances Valentine on Sale

Embroidered Charming Caftan

 

Frances Valentine is having a sale with some of my favorite pieces at great prices. An example is their iconic embroidered caftan. I have four of these including the navy and pink version above. It is such a statement piece and one of the most comfortable things I own.

Fun & Games & Great Finds

CCC

 

So I have officially unboxed and styled my very first set of mahjong tiles. They are in a vintage Mottahedeh for Winterthur blue and white Chinese dragon bowl. I have had this bowl for decades and it is a favorite, so I thought it would be a great choice. I love it. 

Tortoiseshell for Summer

Tortoiseshell Clutch

 

I am a huge fan of tortoiseshell, especially in the summer. Tortoiseshell headbands have had a big resurgence since the airing of Love Story: John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette because she was a wearer of wide tortoiseshell headbands.
