Outdoor Entertaining, The Thrify Way

 via Photositook

I don't know about you guys, but I love to entertain- especially in the summer! Scott and I are fortunate enough to have an amazing shared roof top with beautiful views of San Fransisco, fully equipped with lounge chairs and a BBQ. I am looking to throw one more party to end the summer with a bang!

Here are a few outdoor party items I adore that are under 50 dollars, how cute is that apron?

Any party plans this summer? 

Any party success/disaster stories? I would love to hear em'!

This Summer's Best Trend: Maxi Dresses

 via Jarlo

My favorite trend this summer has been maxi dresses! I love how feminine and comfortable they are to throw on on a hot summer day when you don't want to think too hard about what to wear. They are so versatile that you could dress one up to wear at a wedding, or just throw one on to do your grocery shopping. Last weekend I found some really adorable maxi's at different price points all over town, I ended up buying a simple black cotton maxi at Target. Gotta love Target!
