September brings a magic vibe in the air and light in the sky: it marks the border between summer and fall. Some mist in the morning, a gentle breeze at night and still clear sky and sun during the day. But soon the seasons will turn, the leaves will begin to turn crisp and we will start wearing fluffy sweaters. We’ve gathered together some of our design pieces, and created a mood board to inspire you slowly getting in the autumn spirit. We chose a lovely combo: beige and soft, or dusty blue. For us these two colors represent the transition time we are in. Beiges, wooden colors and neutrals are a must for a cozy fall. They express peace, stability, warmth. Light blue and the different shades of blue, are synonymous of summer. They express energy, but also calmness, relaxation. There is simple beauty in natural and blue colors together. Neutrals and soft blue add charm into your home. They give a shabby chic touch to your table décor and a modern, minimalist style to the interiors, as well as to outdoor spaces. Beige and dusty blue together are ethereal; they combine elegance and luxury with clean Nordic design lines. Those shades are perfect for September decorating ideas. We hope they’ll inspire you to create beautiful home styles and refined dining experiences. Enjoy our September style mood board, lulled by Neil Diamond’s song, September Morn.

The outdoor party season is about to start. Are you ready to host a chic summer gathering with friends? Follow these three tips and show us the outcome. Tag @DishesOnly in your outdoor party pictures posted on your Instagram/FB profile. 1. Set the mood Either you have a tiny pool, or a patio in a garden, or a backyard, or just a small balcony, don’t panic! Pull different chairs together for a casual atmosphere. Use rugs and pillows to add warmth to the setting. If you have enough space, set up a long table and define a food area separated from a beverage station. Use buckets with ice and add in flowers for a French style touch. If you don’t have much space, create unconventional coffee tables to place platters, serving boards and trays. You can use a pile of books and magazines, or wooden crates. Hang string lights or group lanterns and votive candles around the area. Plants, flowers and planters in general can help you define different corners, and are always a great décor. Don’t forget some good music in the background. 2. Set the table First of all pick up a theme for your menu. It will make much easier to decide which dishes to serve. The menu could be arranged around a specific ingredient, or country, or color. A typical Italian summer party menu is the Bruschetta Party (or crostini party). You can choose different kinds of bread and top with garlic, EVO and salt, or with chopped tomatoes, basil and onions, or with a base like pesto and grilled vegetables, or cheese and cold cuts (prosciutto,...

Guardiamo incantate le loro foto e i loro profili social. Ci immaginiamo che vivano sempre in una favola, in posti incantevoli, viaggiando di qua e di là, invitate ad inaugurazioni, cene e locali splendidi da recensire. Fuori dal jet set, nella “normalità”, spesso sono arrampicate su scale cigolanti per cogliere lo scatto migliore, sono di corsa per non perdere la luce perfetta, sotto stress per consegnare i servizi agli editori, nel panico per come inserire un ingrediente in una ricetta. Quali sono allora i segreti e le abitudini di alcune tra le più famose food blogger in Italia? Tante sono le curiosità sul loro stile di vita e sul loro lavoro. Per evitare lunghe interviste abbiamo chiesto ad alcune di loro di rispondere a quelle domande che tutte noi ci chiediamo osservando dall’esterno il loro lavoro. Cosa fanno al mattino quando si svegliano e prima di andare a dormire? In quale momento della giornata cucinano e quanto tempo impiegano ad allestire il set fotografico e a scegliere lo styling? Ma soprattutto: dove va a finire tutto il ben di Dio che immortalano sublimamente??? Ed ecco le loro risposte. 1. A colazione: la calma è un must, come il caffè. 🌻 Colazione con calma: acqua e limone, yogurt naturale con fiocchi di avena, caffè. Nei weekend ancora più con calma, con giornale, pane buono con burro e marmellata! 🌺 Colazione con calma, per causa di forza maggiore. Per i primi 20 minuti da quando mi alzo dal letto non sono in grado nemmeno di riconoscermi allo specchio… 🌹 Colazione con calmissima: sono una early riser e, anche se mi alzo immediatamente dal letto,...
