Pool-Party Perfect Plates from La Plates and Helen Jon Swimwear
Finding chic, unbreakable plates is a nearly impossible task, but a new collaboration between Los Angeles-based La Plates and swimwear designer Helen Jon brings a few more stylish options to the, er, table. The capsule collection puts the exclusive swimsuit prints onto customizable melamine plates created by La Plates founder Lara Hazelett Shelton. Not only are the prints super adorable and picnic-ready, but I'm sensing a warming trend towards monograms—the new bespoke!

I love the suble paisley print and boy-short style of this St. Barth combo from Helen Jon.

The paisley translates perfectly to an ethnic-chic tabletopper from La Plates, $24.

The modern Capri print gets a beachy makeover in teal and navy, from Helen Jon.

I'd channel a Mediterannean vibe with these tonal Capri plates, $24 from La Plates.

The high-contrast Marbella print is perfect for athletic styling, as in this surfer top from Helen Jon.

But look how shabby chic it can get when printed for La Plates, $24.

I love a classic blue-on-blue combination, as in this Olivia suit in navy and teal from Helen Jon.

The Olivia plate is even more classic in it's navy-and-white color combo, $24 from La Plates.

Orange puts a sunnier spin on the Olivia print from Helen Jon.

The orange Olivia plate will brighten up any parkside picnic, $24 from La Plates.
