Setting the Easter Table

I love setting a holiday table and Easter is one of my favorites!  With Winter hopefully behind us, now is the time to break out all the pastels and pave the way for warmer sunnier days.  Here are some new beauties to add to your Easter Sunday dinner.  I love the idea of bunny plates.  The William Sonoma ones below would be perfect.  And how cute is the pink handled flatware?  Happy Setting!

Setting the Easter Table

Melts

I have discovered the most amazing restaurant!  It is called Melts, Gourmet Grilled Cheese.  Acclaimed chef Nathan Kramer and his brother Greg offer their take on classic comfort food in a casual cafe setting.  Grilled Cheese, salads, soups…there is something for the whole family.  
Visit Melts at 144 Bedford Rd, Armonk, NY.  
THREE lucky readers will receive a gift card to Melts.  All you have to do is view the MENU and leave a comment as to what you would like to try.  Winners will be picked at random and announced at the end of the week!!

Fashionable Friend Friday

This week’s fashionable friend Friday is Gwyneth Paltrow.  We are not really friends but I sure wish we were.  I absolutely love her blog Goop.   I know she has received tons of criticism about it and how unrealistic it is for the average person.  However, I find it to be true visual luxury.  Her advice, items and recipes are just dreamy.  I think she is doing something right because all of the gorgeous things she features are always sold out.  No one can deny that Gwynnie really does have the best taste!!

Easter Treats

I thought from all the research I do for this blog, I knew what some of the hottest items were for 2014.  Then I spent spring break with a bunch of teens/tweens and did I really get an education.  Below I have highlighted some of the “popular” items that the girls introduced me to.  Upon further inspection of all my social media site, you know what, THEY ARE RIGHT!!!!!  Here are some ideas for your Easter Basket courtesy of the younger set!! Enjoy!!!
