12 Amazon Finds For Labor Day Entertaining

{ Via: Joanna Buchanan }

Are you entertaining this long weekend? It seems as if I always am, and that's okay. I do enjoy entertaining. I don't enjoy, however, worrying if my order will get here on  time. No problem with Amazon Prime. All of these items will be in your home on time for casual entertaining, inside or out.

BPA Free Plastic Serving  

Trays

These will come in so handy indoors or out. Love the rectangle shape.

Charger Plates Set of 6

Paper plates look so much better when served in a charger plate. These look woven, but they are actually plastic.

Mario Luca Giusti Melamine Salad Plates

My pick of the edit! First of all the brand is sold at fine stores like Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's. Use these for dessert, appetizers, or mix them in with your other tableware. Best of all they are 81% off!  Were $180. Now only $35 for six. So fabulous!

Dessert Table Display Set & Charcuterie Board 

I saw a video of this stylish server on Instagram. It's very cool and multi purpose.  You are really getting two for the price of one. And it's on sale!

Cocktail Picks

I always have some of these on hand. They elavate anything you are serving. At under $7 for 200 of them, I think that you need them, as well.

Disposable Bamboo Dishes

Who knew that sustainable and compostable could look so elegant?

Solar Outdoor Table Lights

in the Hudson Valley, it is dark by 8:00PM. These good looking lacy lamps will keep the party goig after golden hour.  Oh they are waterproof, too.

Outdoor Citronella Candle Set

I am sure that you don't have any bugs and bees on your guest list. These chic candles will keep them at bay! It's a set of 8.

Melamine Hot Dog Servers

Even the lowly hot dog can be elevated with these fab shatter resistant servers.  And if you really want to impress, order from the best this weekend at GoldBelly!

Silver Spoons Versi Collection

I have used both the black and this white version many times. They are very chic, and just right for a garden party.

Linen Feel Guest Towels
I love using napkins in the powder room. They are thick and luxurious. But they look equally as good at the table,

Is this not the best parasol that you ever saw? And I have a perfect spot for it on my patio. It's been a week, and I am ready for the weekend. You, too? But first, some great shopping links and articles.

I love the fun skirts one can wear in the summertime. This midi is all cotton poplin with pleats, and it's under $150. 

The Kate Spade Outlet is offering another $25 off your $150 purchase. Might be a good time to treat yourself.

Macrame makes my day: Loving Larroude's Macrame collection. The gold flats are calling my name. So many pairs are now on major sale! And don't miss a special 72 hour sale on Raffia styles.

Going some place? Get there in style with Steamline Luggage. It's so luxe and lovely. And why be like the rest of them darlings?

Found this on Goop: The Science of Love, According to Harvard's Happiness Professor, Arthur Brooks

A great pair of White linen Pants are essential to a summer wardrobe. I found the perfect pair at Nordstrom, and they are on sale!

Hats off to Terrain for having fab hats, even though they are not a fashion house. I thought that this style was exceptionally well made. Find one that has your name on it.

The sunkissed shade that broke the Internet: RMS "Crystal Slipper." It truly is the perfect shade. Not too peachy and not to pink. I have it in the ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush. The best powder blush I have ever tried. But their Lip Oil, Eyelights, LiptoCheek, and Luminizer also come in this shade. It's all totally clean beauty.

For Girly Girls Only: If you have a teen that's into everything pretty, she will love the new Love Shack Fancy Collection at PBTeen. You'll find toile backpacks, storage carts on wheels, bows on lamps, mirrors and pillows, and so much more. She will love it!

Easy and breezy, Simon Miller's Nava Midi Dress, is so perfect for the heat of summer. Also available in red and white.

Seven Ways To Deal With Disappointment. Could have used this earlier in the week.

Alfresco Hour: It's almost been too hot to eat outside this week. But when's it is time, Tuckernuck has some inspired products fo make your alfresco amazing!

I'm wild about Lele Sadoughi's Downtown Leopard Cat Eye Sunnies!

Have A Fabulous Weekend!
