When we heard that our favorite LA girl bosses were joining forces to throw a Thanksgiving dinner party, we knew the finished product would be major #goals. Designer Jenni Kayne invited us to check out the farmer’s market-inspired fête she hosted with the Bash Please gals, Suzanne of Chalkboard Mag, and Carly of Pressed Juicery. Our good friend Daphne Oz whipped up a few vegetarian recipes — the perfect “testing grounds” before this week’s real holiday feast. From the leather place cards to the gift basket party favors, every detail of this dinner party was styled to perfection. We sure are thankful to have such inspiring and creative friends.
