SILVER AND GOLD-DAZZLING GIFTS TO GIVE

If there's ever a time to get carried away in a glittery sea of silver and gold, it's holiday time. Slip on a pair of dangerously high gold stilettos or a shimmery sequin top and you're holiday chic! I even like to carry the silver and gold theme to my gift giving--after all, who doesn't like a little bit of bling under the Christmas tree?    

Toast the holidays! These pretty champagne glasses are hand etched with glittery golden berries, perfect for  holiday cocktails.


Add a dose of glamour to your bar with this silver ice bucket topped with a golden bamboo handle.


 A stylish linen pillow with a bold gold Greek Key motif is a showstopper. 

Add some holiday cheer to the table with a set of embellished silver and gold napkin rings . 


Who doesn't love jewelry? A delicate gold cuff accented with pave spikes will add some holiday sparkle and shine!



This gorgeous white gold metallic envelope protects your iPad and also doubles as a clutch.
With ruby eyes and a 24k gold plated finish, this letter opener is one Gecko you won't mind seeing on top of your desk! 


A rustic galvanized aluminum tray is great for serving holiday treats.
You can't go wrong with a delicious tin of New York's iconic black and white cookies 
This delicate gold plated picture frame makes is so glamorous 

What's your favorite gift to give this year?

BIG APPLE


Last weekend I attended a birthday party in a beautiful Manhattan penthouse. A huge wrap around terrace housed a swimming pool (unheard of in NYC) two seating areas and dining for twenty. It was gorgeous, and with the Indian summer weather, simply perfect for an afternoon party. What I remember most about the interior of the home is the intoxicating scent of autumn apples that seemed to follow you through the house.  Upon entering the home, wooden antique crates of farm apples were placed near the door and under a table.  They rustic wooden boxes looked absolutely beautiful, a simple but stunning decorative element in the elegant foyer.  


My foyer is not large enough for crates of apples, but I do love the scent and look of a beautiful bowl filled with fall fruit.  I purchased this leaf porcelain bowl at Treillage a few years ago--it's deep enough to hold large fruit and look fantastic!

Carolyne Roehm's spin on the fruit bowl centerpiece is elegant and beautiful. The varying textures of bright green Granny Smith apples and delicate fern plant are complimented by  stunning in silver bowls.
