Whether you host a mid-week fiesta with friends or something a bit more low key I wanted to share some lovely items to make your celebration a bit more festive.
Start with these colorful plates and cups.
You will need some footed bowls for all the appetizers
Of course you need a pitcher or two for the margaritas 
Now I know you're thinking Cinco de Mayo is today and if you need a little inspiration to throw it together this may be helpful.
Gorgeous is the word for this dress. Tier after lovely Tier. Perfect for a city chic wedding or a Summer soiree.
Finish off this lovely dress with a bold bauble
and of course these peep toe pumps
wouldn't this flower mobile be a nice decorative detail not just for your home but also for a party.
Isn't this dress lovely? I don't have to give you any ideas of where you could wear this dress, if you're like me you've already created that list in your head.
Place this 3D Drawing Pad in the party favor bags at your next party for adults or kids and I'm sure you will have a hit on your hands. Who doesn't want to create their own drawings, writng and everything in between to be viewed in 3D?
Fourth of July is fast approaching and while you may have started planning your celebration, how will you keep your guest entertained? Think about a few backyard games.
Who doesn't like playing croquet? Sure you may be a bit rusty on the rules but who cares if everyone is enjoying themselves right?
If you are looking for a high end croquet set try this one from Restoration Hardware or this one from LL Bean.
If you're looking for an inexpensive set this one from Target will work perfectly.
Try a little lawn bowling 
or, Maybe entertain with a game of Horseshoe
Why not have a Bocce Ball competition. While I'm not quite clear on how this game is played, these rules may help everyone out.
If all else fails, have a game of Badminton. If everyone gets tired of Badminton use this set and convert it for volleyball.
Let the games begin!
This is a complete and total indulgence but wouldn't this be lovely for a summer fiesta?
There are two things I'm in love with right now. Ruffles and cake pedestals. This ruffled pedestal is a perfect combination wouldn't you agree? Use it for Valentines Day, a Wedding, or any wonderful event.
One thing I love about summer is entertaining. Another thing I enjoy are all the little decorating details that come with putting a celebration together. Here are a few things I've discovered and think will be perfect for your Summer celebrations.
For the Backyard BBQ...
BBQ Condiment Set and BBQ Salt & Pepper Set
Use these BBQ Chipwood Baskets not just for service but for guest to hold their meals.
If you're planning to host a tropical/tiki themed celebration, think about using these Leaf Melamine Serving Pieces.What a great inspiration point for a theme.
These Hula Charger and Basket & Coconut Drinking Cups would also be perfect for a tropical themed soiree.
Set these Acrylic Drink Dispenser up for any celebration filled with lemonades, iced teas, sangrias and other fun summer-styled drinks for guest to enjoy.
Enjoy these few little things to get you started.
How wonderful are these chat plates? Perfect conversation pieces when entertaining. 
Of course with Summer comes plenty of outdoor parties. While shopping last weekend {and enjoying the best strawberry gelato} I saw this adorable party trough that I figured you would love to have for your summer entertaining.
The Bungalow Scout Party Trough comes in a large and small size is perfect for indoor and outdoor entertaining and the stylish patterns and designs can even coordinate with your celebration. The style I saw in the store and loved is a black and white damask. Oh and it folds up for easy storage too. This is definitely a party planning essential.
I always love going to weddings and seeing all the lovely details and the creativity that brides put into the theme for their special day. One fun little detail is the wedding favor. Here's a sampling of some truly lovely favors all perfect ways to end a wonderful evening.

With Mother's day right around the corner, if your thinking of ways to celebrate all the wonderful things about your Mom, why not host a brunch. Wiliams and Sonoma has a wonderful menu that looks delicious!
Blueberry Filled Pancakes. You'll need this Ebelskiver Filled-Pancake Pan {plus additional recipes for other special brunch events that are worth testing}
Maple-Glazed Bacon
Mango, Pineapple and Papaya Salad
Blackberry Champagne Cocktail
Strawberry Smoothie
How can you show your appreciation for all the things your Mom has done from you. While we're years away from the maccaroni noodle necklaces and the art class cards we made while in school, we can still celebrate Mom in thoughtful ways.
Of course your Mother can never have too many photos of you, your siblings or of her grandchildren, so why not fill this Wall Gallery Frame set with photos she can display like a work of art.
A collection of stationery is always wonderful for mom to have on hand when wanting to send thank you notes or to say hello to friends and family. Plus get a box for you too, she'll love it if she gets a nice note from you in the mail just because. Our favorites are from the new collection of Snow and Graham.
Zinnia Card Set
or the Desk Stationery set from Elum
Plus she'll need a lovely pen too.
Think about pretty jewelry like a charm bracelet with charm's like these to adorn it. Plus who wouldn't want something from Tiffany's?
If you're still at a loss over what to get mom, think about a hobby that your mom likes to do and give her a gift that is about her hobby, like new supplies.
Aren't these cute. Perfect for an ice cream themed party or just for a fun twist on dessert.
These Candy Cane Shot Glasses will definitely create conversation at your holiday party. Yes, they are edible too. Perfect for a cool and minty concoction.
I saw this delicious and delectablepumpkin cake at Dean and Deluca. It's not too late to order or if you're near a store stop by and see if they have one ready to take home. Perfect for Halloween or festive fall celebration Who can resist? I can't.
