The art of dressing up

Left, Mui Mui shoes / Right, A tabletop inspired for the girls with the perfect pops of pink and gold.

Playing dress up begins at five and never truly ends is an understatement. We feel the same way about our tabletops. After all, Mom said not to play with your food, not with your china and patterns. With love a calculated break from tradition, a sudden pop of color, and anything that sparkles when we're celebrating a night worth really dressing up. Inspired by these cool Mui Mui shoes, this tabletop embraces pink with a look that's fit for a princess but chic enough for the adult tables when paired with gold. All it's missing is the girls. Tell us, when you plan for a girls night in, how do you dress up the table?

Holiday Menu: The Grape

Today we continue where we left off Thursday with more delicious goodness from Executive Chef Brian C. Luscher of The Grape. (Click here for yesterdays recipes and an overview of this Dallas favorite.)  Brain is bringing the holidays home with an amazing mushroom strudel and pork roast that will have everyone coming back to the kitchen for seconds. We tried out the baked brie and can't wait to cook up the whole menu for family and friends. (P.S. For those of you whose idea of cooking involves heating up leftovers in the microwave, The Grape also caters!) Brian has been kind enough to share all of the recipes on this menu. If you would like a copy, please email showroom@poshcouturerentals.com (Take our word: You'll definitely want to!). This menu is perfect for a fall fete or social gathering. With Brian sharing recipes and POSH providing festive tabletop, you'll have the holidays covered!
