usability
(Real) friends have this very nice that they do not put pressure (or so very subtle) when it is you who receive dinner. You can then feel free to test novelties, to express your originality and creativity and to have their talents of gout that will give you their opinion in all honesty! So, economical, trendy or chic, it's up to you to imagine an eve in your image and that of your friends.
