Summer Parties and Outdoor Entertaining: Inspiration

Summer is officially here and 4th of July is just around the corner! Today I am hosting a link up over at SoCal Blogger Society on summer parties and outdoor entertaining. Summer parties are the perfect time to bring out all of your nautical decorations! I recently redid my balcony and although it is small I am looking forward to having friends over. I will be sharing photos of my balcony later this week. For now I am sharing my inspiration for summer parties (these ideas are great whether you have an outdoor space or not!). Tomorrow I will be posting inspiration from Ikea and Pottery Barn
