The 1950s woman had a lot on her mind heading into the winter party season, including 1. how to coordinate accessories and 2. how to whip up an unforgettable plate of hors d'oeuvres. To solve the first, she kept a few sets of demi parures on hand - a matching brooch, earrings or necklace to dress up any outfit, day or night. To tackle the second, filed a stack of trusty recipes featuring favorites like canned lobster, peanut butter and cream cheese in any number of combinations.
In honor of these mid-century fête time traditions - and to help you prepare for your own holiday season - I'm listing some demis in the shop and also sharing some of the most outrageous hors d'oeuvre recipes I've ever seen. If you wear your jewelry while you make the hors d'oeuvres, you get big points.
