it’s merry and bright at our house today thanks to plaid placemats and sparkling red goblets. it’s that time of year when even your table settings get into the christmas spirit. and i love all the splashes of red and green. talk to me in january, and i might be singing a different tune… until then i’m enjoying the festive color scheme.
a friend is coming over for lunch today. lisa lives forty minutes from my home so it can be a challenge to grab lunch together spur of the moment. but we couldn’t let the christmas season pass by without touching base. she’s making the drive, and i’m whipping up a roasted vegetable quinoa salad. it’s reminiscent of my favorite salad at my favorite restaurant in athens – power lunch at the national. fingers crossed my rendition is as yummy as theirs!

even my apron similar apron gets into the christmas spirit.
all the fixings for the vegetable salad.
it’s a blue christmas without you. or maybe not as i’m keeping it warm and cozy with a cobalt blue cashmere crewneck from Everlane. and what goes better with cobalt than black? nothing! what a stunning color combo. so i threw on cropped ankle pants from Ann Taylor. and i couldn’t resist wearing my tartan plaid flats from Talbots.
no cocktails today. a bottle of red wine seemed the perfect compliment to this roasted vegetable salad.
all right, gang! friday has arrived once more. oscar and i wish each of you a lovely weekend.

Sounds like a delicious lunch. Have fun with your friend! Wonderful color in the Everlane sweater. I have a stack of cashmere sweaters and always try to purchase one at the end of every season if I can. I’ve been impressed with things I’ve purchased from them (Everlane, that is).
Happy weekend!
i’m always a sucker for cobalt blue! it’s always a good idea to stock up on cashmere with an end of season sale. nothing like a good bargain! i’m happy to hear you’re as impressed with Everlane as i am. wonderful stuff at this store. xo
