­Now that summer is well and truly here, I am always on the lookout for decent outdoor, indestructible plates which don't look overly cute or juvenile- which is a lot harder than it should be. Melamine is the way to go, and I'm loving these plates from designer Thomas Paul. These sea-life dinner plates depict an octopus,crab, lobster and horseshoe crab. There is also a matching line of stylish paper napkins to help keep summer entertaining incredibly simple. I also love his linen pillows which are patterned on both sides. Check out his website for more inspiration.­
