Makes you want a hot dog real bad, right? // Getty
Summer is coming, and it's time to host outside.
Cookouts, BBQs, picnics - this is the time to keep things casual and fun. But that doesn't mean all aesthetics are forgotten - quite the opposite - lean into the playful and kitschy with fun vintage finds for your next summer get together.
Make sure you save us a skewer!
Picnic Blankets
The sun is shining, and I'm craving a hot dog! Whether you're prepping for a picnic or grilling at home, I'm ready to set the table. Or better yet, a picnic blanket...
Picnic Baskets
Whether you're contributing to the potluck or just showing up with a bottle of wine, everything is better in a basket!
Something On A Stick
If you're hosting at home, it's time to turn on the grill. I like adding a bit of novelty to the traditional menu. Cute corn holders, novelty marshmallow sticks, and cheeky drink stirrers show you think of everything.
Kitschy Aprons
Honestly, an apron is a crucial part of the cookout. Wearing an apron says, "I'm in charge". Taking it off signals it's time to eat. Keeping it vintage so it's cute and matches my outfit! A gal in an apron says, she can man the grill and pour the drinks because she can do it all! 💪
Enamel Everything!
I love using enamelware because it's durable. Crow Canyon makes a beautiful range of plates, bowls, platters, and serving pieces. The large basin makes for a great ice bucket for drinks.
Paper Plates with Poise
My love of paper napkins is well-documented at this point. But would it shock you if I said I feel equally as strong about paper plates? And because we're really aiming for a light night of dishes after you're done hosting, the chicest set of plastic drinkware, too.
