20's icon Louise Brooks FUN! Urban Unveiled at Vibiana I have long been a fan of all things 1920's. If I had a choice, I would have loved to have lived in that era. There was so much to be excited about�the fabulous, groundbreaking fashion, stunning architecture and especially the spectacle and extravagance of those magnificent parties. It was a time of glitz and modernity, fresh, youthful confidence bordering on the brash and undeniable, shout-out-loud FUN. Happily, the Gatsby craze is currently at fever pitch, giving us all an opportunity to revisit the stylish glamor of those years. Brides and party hostesses have the option of taking the trend literally or simply taking inspiration from the period and making it their own.

The color was a definite nod to the twenties...

As the last episode of Downton Abbey Season 3 fast approaches, we avid fans are asking, �How will we console ourselves while we await Season 4?� Well, being English, I was raised on the notion that a nice cup of tea can put anything�small or large�to rights. What better way to keep the excitement of Downton alive than an afternoon tea with fellow Abbey Acolytes sharing their theories and questions? Will Dan Stevens, our beloved Matthew, return for another go? Will baby Sybil grow up to marry little Charlie one day? Will there be a Downton: The Early Years featuring the young Violet? Since this last season was all about adapting to life in the rapidly changing world, I suggest a party menu featuring afternoon tea foods that combine traditional English heritage with contemporary tastes.   AFTERNOON TEA Dainty Sandwiches english cucumber watercress over sweet butter with a touch of celery walnut crumb smoked salmon dill with lemon caper butter roast beef spring onions with hors...
