2025 inauguration : fashion & table settings




Happy Tuesday! Please remember that this a non-political post and I just wanted to share some fashion, the table setting and menu from yesterday’s inauguration.

 

This first part is just a show-and-tell of some of the pretty ball gowns seen last night with just a little bit of interesting trivia. Did you know Ivanka’s gown was inspired by a very famous dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in 1954?

I really love all the fashion I’m sharing with you all today. First up, of course is the First Lady, Melania Trump. It’s simple, elegant and so stylish!! This white with black gown compliments Ivanka Trump Kushner’s gown so perfectly!

Here’s Ivanka’s Givenchy gown inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s beautiful dress she wore in the movie Sabrina. I just love it!! It’s such a classic style and a wonderful nod to Audrey and Givenchy! (More on Audrey’s iconic dress in a minute…)

Beautiful Tiffany earrings worn earlier in the day by Ivanka.

The Second Lady of the USA, Usha Vance, looked equally stunning in this sparkly gown by Reem Akra in the most beautiful blue color.

 




Eric Trump’s wife Lara is seen here in a lovely red gown with sister-in-law Tiffany Trump. Tiffany is expecting and looks pretty in this silver-grey gown.

First granddaughter and teenager Kai Trump, daughter of Donald Jr, wows the crowd in this Sherri Hill beaded gown.

 

 



Sabrina happens to be one of my favorite movies, so this custom Givenchy dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the party scene is etched into my memory. You can see how pretty all the details are…

 



 

I found this colorized photo of Audrey and a couple of cute poodles on the internet and it looks like the embroidered design of this famous dress is different shades of brown, but alas, it’s not accurate.

 




Here are a few current pictures of the same exact dress Audrey wore in the movie. As you can see it has yellowed considerably over the last 70 years but still looks as gorgeous as ever!

 




It was sold at auction last year for $125,000. This dress was one of many rescued by Debbie Reynolds when the big studios like MGM sold off most of their costumes and props many years ago.

 




Now on to the table settings! You know how much I love a tablescape, so I wanted to give you all an up-close and personal look at how they set the tables yesterday for the 2025 inauguration.

 




The tablecloths are a patriotic navy-blue color, but with muted tones. This color is the perfect backdrop for the gold flatware and gold-rimmed plates used here for this official event.

 




Lots of pretty white and neutral colored flowers line the length of the main table. I spot mostly roses, a few anemones, and maybe a few ranunculus.

 




Handwritten in pretty calligraphy, the place cards here reflect some pretty famous names!!

 




Here’s an overview of the whole room during the inauguration luncheon yesterday. This is the Statuary Hall in the US Capital building.  

 




And now for my favorite bit of info from yesterday’s big luncheon, the menu!! What did all these illustrious people eat for lunch!?

 

Wonder no more! Crab Cakes (yum), Ribeye Steak and basically a fancy apple pie a la mode! Works for me!!

In case you haven’t heard, I started a new Instagram page in October and named it Claudia Fabiana Home. My former page is still up, but after getting a new phone, I was no longer able to log into this account, so the new profile was born!

 

I hope you’ll follow along with me on Instagram for all the latest projects and décor I will be sharing in 2025.

new Christmas table linens and more!

 from Pacific & Rose      




Hot off the press, literally!!! This brand-new Poinsettia print from Pacific & Rose has all the Christmas feels you could ever want! 


This festive Poinsettia print made its debut this week and comes in all sorts of beautiful table linens and even a cozy robe and a fun little holiday apron!! 


Just like all of Pacific & Roses products, these textiles are all hand printed in Jaipur, India using the ancient technique of hand carved wooden blocks. Each piece is unique and quite beautiful!  





Also arriving in perfect time for the holidays, Pacific & Rose is introducing a brand-new collection of velvet robes and jungle-print table linens. 


Everyone could use festive table linens, elegant accessories, and cozy loungewear to bring holiday cheer to every corner of your home!

 




This is such an easy way to dress up a place setting for Christmas!


Of course, we all know that the poinsettia is a Christmas flower, and many people give them around Christmas time to symbolize goodwill and community spirit.


This is the perfect pattern for any kind of holiday gathering. I also just love to set a pretty table for everyday meals with the family, and this print is ideal for the whole month of December! 

 




The poinsettia is a Christmas flower, and many people give them around Christmas time to symbolize goodwill and community spirit. That's why I love this tablecloth so much!

 




 So festive for the Season!

Pictured here are the Poinsettia tablecloth, placemats and napkins, layered for a really elegant look!

 

 


The Charlotte Berry table linens are also back in stock. A quintessential Christmas look is so easy to recreate with this charming pattern. 


Look at how well these two pattern coordinate with each other. Soft, rich tones and effortless charm create the perfect vibe for a cozy, festive table.

 




One of my favorite holiday activities is setting a festive table! The possibilities are endless for table settings during the holidays! 


What's the most important aspect for setting a pretty holiday table? My choice is always a gorgeous patterned tablecloth and napkin. 


But how about a table runner, you may ask... 





Yes, the Poinsettia print also comes in a prettytable runner which also pairs beautifully with the placemats and napkins.

 

In Guatemala and Mexico, poinsettias are called "La Flor de Nochebuena" – Flower of the Holy Night, and that makes it extra special to me!


This pattern is so classic, it looks sort of vintage,


which I love.

 




I just found the perfect apron for all my holiday meal prep and cooking baking, it's the Poinsettia print, and again, so comfortable and well made. Big front pockets are handy for holding my phone and special recipes.  


And then we have the Poinsettia Robe. Lovingly sewn together from a soft cotton voile, this robe has two front pockets and easily ties with a coordinating candy cane striped belt.

 

Presented in matching fabric envelopes, all of Pacific & Rose's robes are ideal for travel and for gift giving. Add a coordinating cosmetic bag for a really nice gift set. 





Bandanas are so versatile. Tie one on to elevate any outfit for the holidays or tie onto a French market basket for a colorful touch. You never know when you may need this fun accessory. And its hand printed on the softest cotton voile fabric!


Here’s the first look at the Poinsettia Cosmetic Pouch! It’s constructed from quilted block-printed cotton and the inside is lined with plastic for easy clean-up, and also features two handy pockets. A pretty tassel is attached to the zipper.

 

 




And how about this beautiful Christmas apron?  These aprons are ideal for working in the kitchen, the garden or the studio. Add matching Poinsettia kitchen towels and this makes a really nice gift set.


Described as beautiful workhorses in the kitchen, these kitchen towels are block-printed in Jaipur, India on 100% soft and absorbent cotton. 

 

All the pretty Pacific & Rose kitchen towels have a handy twill loop for easy display and drying.

 




 

Stock up now for Christmas gift giving! Wouldn’t you love to receive this lovely robe!?





Lilibet in Green is such a chic look for Christmas! As you can see, a few key accessories are all you need to evoke a festive winter look.


Getting ready for the holidays means creating a warm, inviting space for loved ones to gather, and the Lilibet Green table linens provide the perfect backdrop for all your holiday decorating, from casual family dinners to festive celebrations... to all year round enjoyment!  

 




For those who choose to live life a little bit on the wild side, we have the brand-new Jungle-Inspired Quilted Placemats and matching Napkins.

 

These gorgeous placemats and napkins make it so easy to transform your dining into a tropical escape. Featuring lush, exotic designs paired with a chic striped trim and stripe reversible backing, these placemats are perfect for bringing a touch of nature to your table.





This set of four cotton placemats is available in three color combinations. Here’s a look at the Green. Why not make it a tropical Christmas with these stunning prints? I think the green pattern would be lovely and so chic for holiday entertaining!

 




The Ivory Jungle print makes it so easy to mix and with the green and black jungle print for a very unique look.

Handmade in India, each piece celebrates the artistry of Jaipur’s skilled artisans, blending tradition with modern design.

They are made from 100% cotton for durability and easy care and are handmade and eco-friendly, supporting traditional craftsmanship.

 




Make cocktail hour unforgettable with any one of these colorful Block-Print Quilted Coaster Sets, featuring a lively leaf print. 


These charming coasters are designed with vibrant color combinations, accented by chic striped trim and a reversible backing for a touch of elegance. Mix and match for a charming effect!

 

I absolutely love that these sets comes neatly packed in matching drawstring bags, perfect for storage or gifting.

This year, Pacific & Rose has selected an ultra-soft velvet fabric adorned with a striking IKAT pattern that echoes the graceful beauty of butterfly wings.


The Mariposa Robes are lined with a plush cotton striped fabric, ensuring a luxurious feel against your skin. Designed for comfort and convenience, each robe features hidden side pockets and a stylish belt tie.


You'll be thrilled to know that the Mariposa Robes come in 3 beautiful Ikat colorways – mint green, salmon pink, and sky blue, each screen-printed by hand with care by traditional craftsmen in Rajasthan, India.
