entertaining

I love entertaining. I love having people over and giving them good food and drinks. I love sharing laughter and playing games with the people I love the most. Seriously there aren't many things that top that. Summer entertaining is on the absolute top of my list. Sitting outside in the shade, enjoying a cool summer breeze and noshing on some deliciousness. Here are my favorite entertaining items at the moment.

All items were found at Target! I love the seasonal lines they sell, they are always gorgeous, funky and inspirational!

everyday entertaining

Who doesn't love getting together with family and friends? It is one of my favorite things to do. I love cute, easy gatherings. It is so much fun to just have the people I love together, eating, drinking and laughing. Some are some of the things I'm lusting over at the moment.

I have a couple of galvanized aluminum tubs, but I love
this one and the slant! It would make it so accessible!

Adorable plates!

I would love these for my next get together, you know, for next weekend! Do you have any everyday entertaining favorites?

(both were found at crate and barrel)

Roof decks

Loving the hammock! Found over at Barefoot Floor.

Now that the summer has unofficially started I find myself being reminiscent of my college years which I spent in Boston. I love it there and one of my favorite things about Boston is urban roof decks. In the middle of the summer there are few things better than getting dolled up and heading to one of the many rooftop bars in the city. There is just something almost magical about getting drinks, enjoying a cool summer breeze and hanging out under the stars with close friends. It makes me daydream about dinner parties under the stars with delicious food and even better drinks.

The low lighting is amazing. From Artani San Francisco.

Look at those floors! Holy moly. Love them. Found over at Captivatist.

Don't you just want to have brunch at that table? Found here.

Just looking at these pictures makes me want to sit under the stars and chat and drink all night with friends. Anyone interested?
