@emiliamariehome: Kicking off summer with a dinner party inspired by the @Ralph Lauren restaurants for my latest episode of Excuses to Gather! Pierce and I took lots of inspiration for our Chicago apartment patio from the stunning garden courtyard at the Ralph’s in Paris, and over time, we’ve been able to thrift and collect pieces that have made us feel a bit closer to that dream! So it only felt right that the first Excuse to Gather of the summer on our patio would also be inspired by the iconic restaurant’s menu as well! I’ll be sharing a closer look at how it all turned out in part 2, along with everything we made, so stay tuned and follow for more Excuses to Gather!! #hosting #dinnerparty #partyideas #girlsnight
