Host a party in high style
October 7th, 2007
For most of us hosting a party means some last-minute cooking even with the best efforts at planning ahead. Plus I often find myself whipping up a little more of this or that during a party to feed hungrier-than-planned-on guests. When doing so I have two choices: one, wear my old kitchen apron to protect my carefully chosen outfit while at the same time hiding said outfit, or two, go sans apron and chance getting hot artichoke dip on hot outfit. With Heavenly Hostess I no longer have to make such a difficult decision. Their fabulously stylish aprons are party outfit and protection all in one.
Heavenly Hostess first caught my eye at Nest, a local boutique. I’ve never been one to collect things but when I saw the aprons in the window I seriously considered becoming a collector–and doing more cooking in the process. Heavenly Hostess is all about “serving with grace,” and even I could be graceful in one of these beautiful designs. When I received the new Holiday Skaters halter aprons in both my size and my daughter’s I immediately started thinking about hosting a holiday party so I could not only serve guests with grace but in high style. Full reversible with a fun print and beautiful detailing, Heavenly Hostess aprons have “hot holiday hostess” written all over them. (Well, maybe not the children’s sizes…those say something more like “cute holiday helper.”) And if you prefer a cocktail apron, I can tell you firsthand the Santa Baby apron is the way to go this season. I love the classic Santa print and huge bow in back. It’s definitely a piece to plan around when choosing what to wear to your own party!
Holiday prints aside, Heavenly Hostess aprons make a truly wonderful, unique, glamorous gift you can give your girlfriends this season. Who wouldn’t love the Faith or Grace cocktail aprons or the Joy halter with side pocket and figure-flattering cut? And did I mention they have a large selection of stylish headbands to match? To top it all off the aprons are lovingly packaged in a keepsake box “designed for great gift presentation and safekeeping.” Think outside the box–and inside the kitchen–this year and treat yourself and your friends to a “gift of grace” (aka “totally functional and fabulous apron”) from Heavenly Hostess. –Emily

I am a complete apron nut and am turning my 2 girls into little apron fanatics. The best are the photos of my 4 year old helping me cook eggs in nothing butt (pun intended) her child-sized apron. I am so excited to see them making a fashionable come-back. Heavenly Hostess is an amazing site and their link to you has me totally stoked. Thanks

Aprons are charming, and also keep cooking smells off your clothes!

I think these aprons would be a great addition to our event! The Holiday apron would be great to use at holiday cocktail parties and I would love to hear from you about potentially creating an official Tales of the Cocktail apron in our colors (orange and black) with our logo! Check out our website http://www.TalesoftheCocktail.com and please contact me, Michelle@talesofthecocktail.com about your lovely aprons, We are working on stepping up our merchandising!
Thanks,
