4th of July Party Extras That Will Get There In Time


If you are entertaining this 4th of July, you must be in the thick of planning. I needed a few more fun items, and found them all on Amazon. If you are a prime member, you can have them by Friday for your own party. Every thing is under $25.

I have ordered these myself. You need something for your fruit and charcuterie boards. Might as well be thematic. 
"The convenience of paper with the sophisticated touch of pure cotton napkins." I have ordered and reorded these truly neat napkins. They are made of 100% cotton, and come rolled up like paper towels. They are very washable, but they do get wrinkled, so you will have to iron them. They are also sustainable! My touch of red for the 4th are these napkins. 

Really cute for anything, but especially cupcakes.

A simple little touch that everyone will love. The flavors are cherry, blueberry, and coconut. 

Don't forget your fur baby. He or she will be the life of the party in this fun collar.

If you are having a pool party or going to one, you need these. They come in a pack of three, and make for good photo props or host gifts.

Disco 4th Of July Glitter Stars
Love that these stand up. Fun!

I have purchased these as water glasses. It was important to me that they be BPA free. They are said to be heavy duty. Love the silver rim. Nicely priced ast $11.99.

Juliska Acrylic Berry Bowl
Juliska designs the prettiest acrylic table accessories. All the finer store stores carry the line, but I had no idea thatAmazon did! You can do so much with this little $18 bowl. Fill it with cherries and use it as your host gift this Friday, or any day.

96  Piece Plastic Silverware
I am not suggesting that you need this many pieces, but for $22.95 it is a real buy! Other colors available, as well. So elevated!

Summer Sips, Mixers & More

{ Via: Vogue }
 
We sure are enjoying our summer sips on the terrace, when it's not 100 degrees in the shade! But adding a new cocktail to the repertoire is always a good thing. In today's post we celebrate summer with chic cocktails, must try mixers, glassware, and host gifts. Cheers!

Frozen Watermelon Sangria Slushies
I am afraid that I might like this recipe too much!

Mario Luca Giusti Acrylic Glasses
I have long admired this brand. Their outdoor glasses, pitchers, and bowls stand out from the rest. Rarely on sale, but Horchow has the line marked down by 30%. Go!

Rose & Tarragon Gin Lemonade
A lovely drink for a summer afternoon party. 

Rhubarb Mint Mojito
My fresh mint is going wild this year. Now I know what to do with it!

Lavender Gin Fizz
Perhaps the prettiest cocktail ever. That fluffy cloud of white you see is made from egg whites!


Lavender Haze Syrup
Just what you need for the cocktail above. The beautiful packaging makes it a lovely host gift.

Mai Tai Cocktails
Oh these remind me of a wonderful first class flight to Hawaii years ago. They set up a Mai Tai Bar and blended them for us. After a few too many, I slept most of the flight. Delish!

Flamingo Drink Stirrers
These little guys always bring a smile. They are the perfect addition to your bar cart this summer.

Rosemasry & Ginger Mule Mocktail
Don't these look refreshing? Made with non alcoholic ginger beer.

Dried Citrus Cocktail Garnish
Oh what a chic host gift! Or keep it for yourself to look like a master mixologist.

Maria Sin Sangre
I just love this chic presentation. It's made with tequila, lemon juice, simple syrup, basil leaves, and dry sherry.

Lucia Acrylic Goblet Set
Here's a beautiful buy on a stylish set of 4 outdoor glasses. They come in four colors and are marked down from $40 - $28 

Paloma Recipe
I have always admired how these drinks look, but never had one. This one is much like a Margaarita that's sweetened with a honey and bay leaf infused simple syrup. It's one of F & W's  top ten margarita recipes. I see why.

Luxe Mini Mixer Cubes
These fruit infused sugar cubes will craft a chic cocktail. They also are a handy host gift.

Cantaloupe Daiquiris
I remember my parents making daiquiris by the punch bowl. Oh the fun they had!

Chill Acrylic Cooler Glasses
I bought these about 2 weeks ago. They are really great at $2.95 each. They feel good in the hand and are perfect for filling with ice and your favorite beverage.

Keep Your Cool In Off The Shoulder Looks


This hot weather calls for creative dressing. Off the shoulder has been my signature style for many years.  Not only is it cool, but alluring, too. Our shoulders are the last part of us to age. Why not highlight them? In fact, when baring your shoulder, try a little highlight or bronzing powder on them. It's very effective.  

Anna Quan Phoebe Dress
Love this style for a dressier evening event. On sale now for 50% off and $230 at...

La DoubleJ Breakfast Dress
Milan style. A comfy and cool in cotton dress to wear out to breakfast, lunch or dinner. The ruffles add a bit of romance. Love! $730
 

AFRM Bodysuit
I normally shy away from anything polyester, but I am making an exception here. This look is so good,  it needed to be shared. Of course, the fabric makes the price quite affordable. $68

Ramy Brook Rosario Blouse
It's made with 100% cotton to keep you cool and crisp. The embroidered details are fab. $285 (but part of their earn a gift card promotion)

Aundrea Off The Shoulder Blouse
I would totally wear this look in the evening. It's a perfect date night top. Now marked down from $350 to $210.
Alice + Olivia

Monroe Top
With an ethereal vibe, this top leans towards dressy, but can be worn casually, too. I think it is wonderful. Also available in black. $108

Like a rainbow cone. This summery style has been made from a honeycomb stretchy knit. $150

Juliette Off The Shoulder Dress
It's a casually chic dress that I could live in. $108

Stunning and sophisticated.  Always impecable tailoring. Now on sale $1,019

The perfect top to wear with denim this season. It's so very cute and comfy. Made in Italy in 100% cotton. Was $590 and now $236 Take an Extra 30% off with Code EXTRA30. Sale ends 06/26
