Fiesta Covered Casserole

First to recommend

Description

While there are always potlucks year round, I find a significant increase in parties and potlucks in the summer. This covered casserole dish let's you bring your signature hot or cold. I haven't found one signature dish yet, so it might be baked beans I bring or a salad or something new that I want to try.

Burberry Ruffled-Cuff Top & Exploded-Check Skirt

First to recommend

Description

Burberry can always be counted on it appears. Always counted on to bring the classic plaid and make it summer ready. This burberry check skirt and ruffled top are light and summer while still having that distinctive burberry allure.

Sleeveless Sateen Dress

First to recommend

Description

I can't pull off this dress. I wish I could. I wish I could more than most thing because I love this dress. But this dress looks best on someone who has a straighter body shape (otherwise you corrupt the line of the dress). Sigh. It's classic, it's clean, it's perfect for a barbeque.

Sushi Tealights

First to recommend

Description

One of my favorite things about setting a table is to be able to find a place setting that doesn't obscure conversation. This short set of tealights (kind of like a sushi plate) adds a little glow to a table (everyone looks better in candlelight) without interrupting the flow of conversation.

redig mustard coaster

First to recommend

Description

To round out the table set, I'm thinking these coasters and a woven placement (in a tan wood) would be perfect. Placemats in this pattern (when there is already a runner and napkin) would be a bit much. But these little coasters add that one other bit of mustard and fun. With white dishes it would be a hit!

redig mustard napkin

First to recommend

Description

This napkin matches the runner that I recommended just a bit ago. And while though some people say that you shouldn't over match, I personally think that matching runners and napkins is perfectly acceptable when it's such a pretty and neutral print.

Fiesta 44 oz. Teapot

First to recommend

Description

The best barbecues are ones that are connected with long weekends away at a summer house. This teapot is perfect for those lazy saturday morning brunches. Bright and festive it'll allow my creme brulee french toast to shine.

Fiesta Macy's Exclusive "Cool" Goblet, Set of 4

First to recommend

Description

To complete the place setting on my outdoor table I like to have wine glasses in addition to the standing glasses. Now, they are a little big, but summer parties are about taking things slowly and what better way to unwind with friends than with a big glass of wine. I like that these will match the fiesta plates that grace my table and that they striped glasses are just cute!

Turquoise Cecilia Sandal

First to recommend

Description

I like the openness of flip flops for summer, but I don't like how casual they can be. These turquoise sandals are everything I could want for summer. They are in a bright and summer color, they are relatively flat so you can walk about in them in grass and on sand. Plus with that little accent of gold on the tassel, they have a little something extra to make them interesting.

Fiesta Macy's Exclusive "Cool" 20 oz. Cooler Glass, Set of 4

First to recommend

Description

Now Fiesta does have solid fiestaware glasses, bu I personally prefer these clear with stripes glasses. Not only does it tie all the fiestaware colors on the table together, it also shows off the ice tea, lemonade or whatever the drink of the night is off.
