Summer Must: Glam Glassware (That Even I Can’t Break)

I have a long-standing love affair with unbreakable tableware.

In fact, one of my very first posts ever was about my adoration of Target’s acrylic peony glasses, and I’ve since written about artery-saving stemware for The Gloss and chatted about how to do melamine plates up DIY-style.

Summer Must: Outdoor Glassware (That Even I Can't Break)


Indoor/Outdoor Water Glass Set of 4
$24 - homedecorators.com

Cannes Orange Wine Glass
£3.20 - habitat.co.uk

Q Squared Old Fashioned Decal Glass
$10 - bloomingdales.com

Geo Etched Short Goblet
$5.98 - pier1.com

And man, are these shatterproof glasses ever sexy. Forget picnics and parks: I would totally put them on my for-real, indoor table in a heartbeat.

Clockwise from far left: Habitat; Pier 1; Home Decorators Collection (my favorite); MOMA Store (it’s a little tough to see, but that’s a stemless champagne glass); Q Squared; Pier 1.

And just while we’re at it:

These aren’t shatterproof, but they’re too cute for casual outdoor entertaining not to show you ($45 for a box of 12 Mason Jar Sippers).

Request / Picnic-Type Dishes

It’s getting on towards that point in summer when all I want is a shady spot, a cozy blanket, a good book…and, of course, some delicious food that fits neatly into a picnic basket (not that I actually own one…but hey, a girl can dream).

I’m partial to simple sandwiches heavy on the avocado, cold pastas, and chilled sangria (and am pretty excited to try out a garbanzo bean-and-mint salad that reader Kate just emailed me), but today I’d like to know: What are your favorite dishes for picnicking?

(xo & gracias for all the tweets & emails…keep ‘em coming!!!)
