About this product

Product Information

Every occasion calls out for something extra, whether it's flowers you set on the table, foods to honor a special gathering, or the selection of music. For both hostess and guest, consideration of those aroundyou is among the most important qualities for any enjoyable occasion. A smile and sense of humor are also essential, and before the canapés and night lighting a good hostess is ultimately definedby a welcoming and gracious demeanor.InOccasions,designer Kate Spade invites you into her world of easy, festive entertaining, where the emphasis is not on "the perfect meal" but on having "the perfect time." It's a world where laughter and conversation at dinner parties are encouraged and where spilled red wine on the couch is no reason to stop the music. As Kate says, "Making your guests feel at home is truly an art and it's oneworth cultivating."Any occasion begins with preparation, and at the outset Kate describes such basic components as lighting (votive candles are a must); table linens, flatware, and glassware; flowers (trimmed short and tightly massed); even bedding for overnight or weekend guests. Party shopping lists, hors d'oeuvres and cocktail favorites, and dinner party menus are all included. An "Alphabet of Special Events," from baby showers to tailgate picnics, is both anecdotal and useful for would-be hostesses everywhere.Whether you entertain a lot or a little, and whether your style is casual or formal,Occasions,with more than 230 charming watercolor illustrations, is a handy and fresh approach to the subject, a book to be treasured today and over the years. Above all, at any gathering "hospitality makes for infectious fun."

    Seller was very easy to communicate with. The price was below fair market value, the Coach Legacy Purse was packaged for the snow, ice and rainy inclement weather we have had the last two weeks and it shipped quickly. I missed some things on the posted photo's of the Purse but this is a GO TO SELLER!!

  • Be the Perfect Hostess or Guest

    Kate Spade offers advice for every occasion from the beginning to the end. This book gives the extra special details that make life's occasions memorable. She uses a fresh approach of easy to read text combined with beautiful water colored pictures to engage the reader. She makes you feel like she's a friend, preparing you for any occaion. She includes table settings and how to prepare certain cocktails with such style and flair, she makes Martha look old fashioned! It would be a thoughtful gift.

  • Occasions by KAte Spade

    Occasions by Kate Spade is a lovely Saturday morning read. It offers advice on parties and planning for anyone who is entertaining, or who just likes the idea of entertaining. The book is filled with the same gentle watercolor artwork as in all her books, and there are quotes and fun facts on every page. The writing style is easy and clever, broken into captions and small bites. The planning ideas are fun and easy. This book would be a great gift to anyone who likes to entertain!

  • Kate Spade - Manners, Occasion and Style

    Manners and etiquette is a lost breed in today's environment. This purchase will be used to remind people of such pleasantries.

  • Good product.

    I had the other two in the series ("Manners" and "Style") and decided it was about time to get the third one. It's a great book, although slightly ludicrous, which is to be expected. About the condition: Book was OK, except for a few missing lines (probably a printing defect) in one page (that I have noticed so far).

  • great title

    i purchased this book to complete the set of three books co-written by kate spade (manners & style are the other two) - good reference or reminders of grace. my 16 year old daughter also refers to them.
