Though we're mostly a fan of white dinnerware, the onset of Memorial Day, with its tradition as the kick-off to summertime fun in the sun, has us thinking about coloured dishes. We love these Acapulco dishes from Villeroy & Boch...

A modern adaptation of an old favorite from 1977, we love the Peter Max-type design (very Beatles circa "Yellow Submarine"), the bright colors and the wavy shapes. Our favorite's the coffee cup and saucer, a great way to transport dessert outside, perfect with the maxi dresses we'll be wearing as the weather gets warmer.
