Not just an 80's redux, metallics are showing up at bbq's and
baseball games this summer. I fell in love with this J. Crew blouse
that could literally be worn anywhere and I wouldn't pair it with
this Burberry tote but in my fantasy world, I would love to gussy
up my 'errands Sunday' carrying this around wearing my usual jeans
and t-shirt. I was thinking about how all of this translated to
entertaining and came across these vintage Steuben opalescent vases,
just a hint of shine. Oh so beautiful!
I think a great early summer table would have a hint of metallic
too. I would do an all white table, something really fresh and
crisp, daisy's come to mind as the centerpiece. If you're hosting
a more fancy event and feel like using your china I would accent
the table with our silver mercury finial decorations. But if You're
going more casual, and this is what I am going to do, I would do
the all white table and use our metallic scalloped paper goods
that come in a range of delicious colors. It's hard to choose but
I think I'll use green metallic for my memorial day brunch, as
it will pick up the inside of the daisy color and be a very clean
look, kind of casual metallic.
