pantone color of the year, Mocha Mousse

Have you heard?! The color of the year is Mocha Mousse and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Although this subdued neutral, it’s quite chic and so versatile!

To quote from the Pantone website: "For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness.

It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort."

Fashion already seems to be hitting its stride with this color of the year. Here are some beautiful gowns (and celebrities) featured in a recent Us Magazine article.

Which look is your favorite? I have to say I prefer the first group of Molly, Rosie, Ashley and Monica.

So dreamy, but back to reality and the thing I'm most comfortable with... tablescapes!!

One of my most favorite jobs ever…

styling tables for Pacific & Rose. This brand-new look is a slightly updated version of the classic LILIBET pattern and is a great neutral colorway known as MOCHA.

Reminiscent of the color of the year, Mocha Mousse, I know this will be one of my faves for ease of styling and giving me that pretty farmhouse cottage look that I love!

This pretty pattern is hot off the press, just arrived from India and is available at Seaside Gallery and Goods.

Also available online at Pacific & Rose. A great way to start the new year… pretty table linens and we’re good to go!

Here’s a collection of accessories in Mocha Mousse shared this week by star Magazine. My pick is the cozy Unhide Little Marshmallow furry blanket in Mocha Shar Pei.

So many cute things to choose from!! The Puma sneakers and the OPI nail polish are my picks of the week!

Even magazines in the UK are jumping on the Mocha Mousse train! This collection of goodies was shared this week by Your Home Style magazine. My pick for an easy Mocha Mousse update... candles!!

Candles, pillows and lamps are all a great way to easily add this color of the year to our homes!

My pick for bringing the color of the year into the kitchen is this gorgeous MarthaStewart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven in the color “Ganache”. A gorgeous sister tone to Mocha Mousse!

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.

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!!

The beginning of the new year signals the start of awards season, and what better way to start than with the star-stunned Golden Globes?!

The best of TV, movies and music gather in one fancy hotel to mix, mingle and nosh together, while beautiful golden trophies are handed out to favorites!

The Beverly Hilton plays host to this fancy party and everyone aims to shine! Who were your faves from the red carpet? I didn’t have one absolute breathtaking choice while watching the red carpet, but I did have lots of favorites. Here are a few of them…
