Transcript

Guys, I actually think I had the best night of my life this week. I got to throw out my dream dinner party for my supper club with Anthropology Home. And getting to bring such an incredible creative group of women at the table with Anthropology Home is something I have had on every bucket list I I think I've ever. Like, definitely a peak career moment. Better okay, let's get into the details because I got to style pieces from their gorgeous new spring collection. What I love about this collection is the details, like all of these little cherries on the plates, the swans on the wine glasses, these little berry boxes. I haven't described this theme as an elevated picnic, like, sort of a welcoming to spring. I also felt so special getting to be fully dressed in anthropology from head to toe. I loved this pink dress and all of the little flower details. I feel like it matched the theme so perfectly. But the highlight of the night was seeing my guests arrive in style in their full Anthropologie look. Like how fun was it to see how everybody styled everything? After a few cocktails, we all found our seats at the table and each setting had a different cookbook from the Anthropologie collection. Instead of a traditional seating chart, we told guests.
