As an avid reader, I was surprised that I've never officially been part of a book club. A book exchange? Yes. A book club? No. I've even written about book club centric parties in the past! Leave it to my good friend Elizabeth - the planner of the group - to organize a fun, small group of people who just mesh well (and luckily have similar tastes in books). The rules are simple: the host picks the book + the meeting location and we meet every month and a half to two months. Our first book was Conversations with Friends and for our second meeting I chose The Alice Network (which I loved). There's nothing that makes you get your apartment together faster than hosting a party, so I'll be hosting at my apartment next week! Below is a round up of my game plan and ideas.
I looove topiaries, so I'm grouping a few together and will arrange some flowers I picked up at the Flower District earlier that morning.
Working all day and then hosting at my apartment is a lot when I have a 45 minute commute so I'm opting for a Greek theme (with a yummy cheese plate), which I can mainly prepare in advance and it's perfect for summer.
I took a page out of The Barefoot Contessa's handbook and will have plenty of white wine, rose, and Pelligrino on hand, but am thinking of creating a cocktail based off of Buccan Tea, my favorite cocktail in Palm Beach or this fresh sounding sangria.
I'll likely put on the Molly Martini spotify playlist and called it a day. It’s such a fun playlist and perfect for entertaining. But first I need to find speakers, and I'm thinking this is going to be my purchase - fun, chic, and practical!
It's always hard to choose my outfit in advance, but I just got this fun summer dress from La Ligne (an old favorite of mine) and am dying to wear it for a casual occasion.
Cheers to the next book,
ARS xx
