What We're Loving: BarbaraAnne Co.'s Sequined Apron

Most of us like to throw parties, but there can be a downside — the hassle, the mess, and worst part of it all, the cleanup. Even singing "the clean-up song" doesn't make it any easier or more enjoyable. If you have great friends and family that love to pitch in and lend a hand, consider yourself lucky. 

To successfully prep and execute your plans for the party before guests arrive, you should allot a certain amount of time to cook, set up, create an inviting ambiance, etc. When that's all complete, you should get yourself together. And if you manage to do all of that before the doorbell rings, congratulations — you've mastered the art of hosting. 

But if you want to take it to the next level, throw on one of these truly amazing aprons from BarbaraAnne Co. — you will wow guests when you answer the door, even before they've eaten your delicious dinner or sipped on your famous signature cocktail. 

Not only would it be great for you, but the apron would make a fantastic gift — especially for housewarmings and birthdays — plus, it's affordable. Bling at a bargain! 

So after the candles are lit and the tables are set, slip on a little shimmer and keep your guests talking about your amazing hosting skills weeks after your bash.
