A food lover and dear friend of mine, Josephine, recently recommended some wines to us for the season, as she is quickly becoming an expert. I felt that with the holidays coming up, it would be a good idea to share. The recommendation that appealed to me the most (I’m not really a wine drinker) was the Veuve-Clicquot La Grande Dame 1996 with Emilio Pucci custom-designed silk wine sleeves. The superbly cute jacket incorporates a thermo-compressed foam that keeps the champagne cold for 2 hours without an ice bucket. Pucci’s designs are always bright and feminine, making them very hard to resist.

Another delicious designer food, is this tartan cheesecake by Liz Clairborne creative director, Isaac Mizrahi. It has a Mizrahi-mandated chocolate cookie crust, and the pattern for this holiday is a red luscious plaid pattern. There are other designs in this line of cheesecakes, and I personally look forward to a bright and bold houndstooth pattern :)

If you are a serious fashionista, these food items are must-haves at a stylish and chic engagement party :)
