Party Details: Spring Dinner Party


Last weekend I hosted a spring dinner party in honor of St Patrick's Day. The menu was the traditional fare - corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. Paired with a baguette, an arugula salad and pinot noir.

The table is set with plates from Pottery Barn, a tablecloth I had made with fabric from Dwell and flowers I did myself with blooms from my local market.


The place cards are from Paper Source and taking a page from the fabulous EDDIE ROSS, I added green candies served in antique silver dishes.

Palm Beach Chic


My great grandfather had a home in Palm Beach and I have been going since I was little. Shopping on Worth Avenue, lunch at Cafe Boulud or Ta-Boo, sipping cocktails at the Breakers, staying at the Four Seasons looking out over the Atlantic - the perfect winter escape!
