Party favors 
'Tis the season to bestow small tokens 
of appreciation upon those who are so kind as to invite us to their fabulous holiday shindigs. Sure, a bottle of wine will always help medicate the effort and stress (not to mention the expense) of throwing a holiday party, but host/hostess gifts like these will make it clear you're the kind of guest who puts a bit more thought into saying, "Thank you for having me." With any luck, you'll be invited back.

Got the Message

We've gone true blue on p. 70. The fresh palette may be subtle, but it's making a 
statement. By Matthew Kritis

Joy of Blues 
ADD A SMART AND TRENDY LOOK TO YOUR WARDROBE AND HOME. BY MATTHEW KRITIS 
If ever we are happy to have the blues, it's when they're splashed across our personal style. From sky to chambray, metallic to navy, the rich and calming shades are proving somehow both trendy and timeless for wardrobe and home decor. And the best part? The naturally harmonizing hues are easy to mix and match.

Fall Coastal 
COASTAL DECOR GOES FROM BRIGHT AND BREEZY TO DARK AND BOLD, WITH GEOMETRIC PATTERNS PEEKING THROUGH. BY MELANIE PAGAN 

SWIMMING TO 
SURFACE 
Time to replace that sweet sunset painting with something a little more daring. The 36-by-36-inch Reaching the Top piece by Holly Manneck adds a bit of modern flair to the nautical theme. Hang the mixed-media and acrylic art in your great room for a bold statement. Inquire for pricing at Judith Liegeois Designs.

GONE FISHING 

The trick to avoiding going overboard with the coastal theme is to keep it to a few key pieces. This 8.5-inch-long fish sculpture, made of gold-leafed iron with a white marble base, gives all the nod you need when placed by some seaside colors. Inquire for pricing at Republic of Decor.
