Puiforcat Cercle D'Argent
1 recommendation
"Ok, so this is WAY out of my price range, but I'm adding it because it's so fabulous and because the Director of Art de la Table at Hermes (owns Puiforcat) told me a fascinating story about this china. China used to be so precious that only royal courts would feast on china plates, and they banded these plates in silver or gold to protect them from chips. That's why most china today has a silver o..."

Angelique Apron | Haute Hostess Aprons
5 recommendations
"She wouldn't dare risk getting a drop of that Hollandaise sauce on her DvF wrap dress (she wouldn't dare eat that fat- and calorie-laden stuff either), so she's got to put on an apron. The Angelique by Haute Hostess Aprons is almost as cute as a dress itself. Pink is our favorite, but the Angelique comes in a number of colors to match her outfit. Naturally."
