Party Time

Woo-hoo! The weekend is here and I am ready for it. Tomorrow afternoon, my sister and I are hosting a pool party at our parents' house. Nothing big, just some of our best friends along with drinks and food and music. Unfortunately thunderstorms are in the forecast, but with luck they'll pass by before the party starts.

While I'm not sure what the weather will bring, I do know what I'll be wearing. My favorite swimsuit is a white string bikini from Old Navy. It's crazy inexpensive but so comfy and flattering. I love it.

Happy weekend to all!

This Calls for a Toast

A fun part of summer are sweet, icy, bubbly cocktails that go so well with warm weather. 

I like finding new drinks to try, as well as new ways of presenting them. I love sparkling wine and think champagne flutes are sexy, but today I stumbled upon a neat new idea. 

This photo comes from the lovely blog Bloomacious and was taken at a pretty Los Angeles party. The tall simple glasses -- could they be small vases? -- are perfectly streamlined and make the drinks look delicious. Excellent idea!

Summer Fun

I just had the perfect summer weekend. Gorgeous, sunny weather. Family. Friends. Eating and drinking. Swimming and laughing.

My parents had a big party at their house on Saturday. It started with hanging out by the pool while my dad and his friends played music. And it ended with dancing on the deck underneath a full sky of stars.

That’s summer in perfect form for me.

Speaking of summer and pool parties, aren’t these photos neat? They make me want to call everyone up and have another shindig next weekend!
