Posh Platters

One tricky thing about entertaining? Finding an attractive place to corral all those cocktails and canapés. Fortunately the retailer iomoi has a solution. Their lucite trays are practical (wipe clean!) as well as customizable with a monogram or name. And their choices of backdrop are perfect - colorful elephants, monkeys, florals, and bold graphic designs - lending a sense of vintage Palm Beach glam to the pieces. The "Mustique," pictured above, is one of my faves - looks like a groovy Goyard trunk. Also cool? "Horse Knocker:"


The "Pagoda:"

They also have glass coasters, perfect for a hostess gift when you're crashing a pool house in the Hamptons this summer (Molly, take note). The "Graph" pattern:

The "Sandy Cay:"

And while their prices aren't exactly recession friendly, these personalized entertaining pieces are built to last until the next recession.

iomoi.com, trays, $100-650; coasters, $95/set of 4

  1. Enjoying the read. Your precision when it comes to detail is refreshing. I loved the phrase "moneyed locals" from the Palm Beach entry. Oriolepoet.
