We have picked the most flattering items and selected the must-haves you need in your wardrobe for the new season, so you will always look glamorous even if it is just a home dinner. Now it’s time to dress your table up! I have always been fond of interior design and home styling, so I loved picking this beautifully curated selection just for you.

FORNASETTI – Scimmie Otto-scented Candle
I love Fornasetti candles and I find the Drunken Monkeys one a fun addition to your table set. Not to mention the heavenly smell! A blend of refreshing thyme and lavender opening up to more earthy notes like cedarwood, incense and birch. Also, I really like the cotton wick, which ensures a clean burn avoiding any black smoke.

I have always loved Themis Z lifestyle range. This Greek inspired impeccable collection includes homeware and fashion accessories. I picked the Serenity espresso cup and saucer set, because no dinner can be considered complete without a good cup of coffee. Crafted in Greece from locally sourced porcelain and finished with a hand-painted beige swirl, this espresso set is a truly elegant one.

As you might know, I am a bit of a tray collector and this red Belles Rives one is a great find! Designed in collaboration with interior decorator Rita Konig and crafted by Vietnamese artisans, it is embellished with raised wavy edges recalling beautiful rivers, like the name belles rives suggests. The high-gloss lacquer gives it a clean, sleek finish making it ideal to serve your pre- dinner drinks and canapes.

Add a touch of chic green to your table with these gorgeous dessert plates by Gucci and Richard Ginori. Crafted in Italy from porcelain, the double set features Gucci’s iconic Herbarium floral print. The plates are finished with black lacquered edges and the back showcases both labels’ logos. Use with a crisp white tablecloth for maximum effect.

Make your salads more interesting with this hand-painted salad bowl. Bordallo Pinheiro is famous for his quirky designs and this piece is a great example.
