A minimal but fun holiday table setting

Sharing a minimal but still playful holiday table setting, appropriate for the holidays. This doesn’t mean reinventing the wheel; perhaps you invest in one nice set, or beautiful napery and linens that you bring out just for the season. Adding in foliage or interesting seasonal tablescapes to create that sense of balance, dimension, and drama. Scalloped Dining Set, Table Mats, Napkins & Scalloped Platters from In The Roundhouse; Coupe Champagne Glasses Last year we hosted Christmas lunch, and put the emphasis on our beautiful dining set with red accents on the scalloped edges – the perfect festive touch.

I’ve tried hundreds of items from Quince. This is what I’d recommend buying for Winter

It’s no secret that I have a lot of love for D2C brand Quince. When I first came across Quince, they were actually called “Last Brand”; as in, the last brand you’ll ever need. Cute. Their $50 Cashmere Sweater being the *thing* that drew me in, and clearly, I’ve stayed for the ride. What appeals to me is their value proposition; quality wardrobe staples at a reasonable price point. So it’s perhaps not surprising that Quince rarely ever goes on sale (and I suspect on the few occasions that they do, their margins are very tight). At this point, I’ve…

Today’s instalment of items I own on sale is centred around accessories. More specifically jewellery, bags, and shoes.
