Chic Settings

Chic settings can be experienced in lots of ways.  A table set up that is festive, colorful and carefree; a relaxing atmosphere involving a few treats and even a magical sky that is to die for.  Luckily the past few weekends have incorporated all of these moments.  

It's no secret I love any excuse to throw a bunch of accessories together.  Especially fun when I can host and get creative with place settings.  Palm print, raffia and festive florals, check!  I always have to sneak a Veuve accessory which usually rotates between this pillow and a megaphone that doubles as a vase.  I reupholstered these dining chairs a few years ago and my heart was set on croc.  It was a large order for a DIY but it needed to be conquered and I love how they turned out.  I definitely don't take enough advantage of sitting in this cozy space.

​Chic setting #2:  Sporting a metallic Missoni while sipping earl grey and eating adorable sammies. When your biggest decision venturing to the Laurel Court tea room is how many sweets you indulge in, that's a pretty fab Sunday.  Paired with girlfriends that heart pretty scenes. You're set.  

Chic setting #3:  Venturing to my new Marina street obsession, Avila.  This pink house is to die for and conveniently her boyfriend, the blue house sits right beside her.  I agree it's evident I need some type of pink incorporated into the curb appeal of my future home.  To the lucky Mr. of TC, you're welcome.

Chic setting #4:  Always my place if I go into hiding, the Palace.  City sunsets have been insane.  So many viewing spots to choose from in my backyard and in the end, it always comes down to one. Always.  I don't know what it is but the peaceful ambiance, structural beauty and glistening water puts my mind at ease.

I'm gearing up for major scenes this week with a double header of the Color Factory and Museum of Ice Cream.  I'm ready for a snap in that sprinkle pool.  A real life Candy Land game board, pure genius. The biggest decision.  What statement to make.  Sequin or bubble gum pinks paired with paillettes. Stay tuned.
