Summer Entertaining Must Haves

Summer entertaining is all about creating a vibe—something effortlessly chic, a little bit playful, and, of course, stylish. Whether you're hosting by the pool, lounging beachside, or setting the mood for an intimate al fresco dinner, having the right pieces makes all the difference. These are some of my favorite high-end yet approachable must-haves for a summer well spent.

Steel Serving Dish – The secret to a beautiful tablescape? Layering height and texture. A tiered steel serving dish is perfect for displaying fresh fruit, small bites, or even a decadent oyster and caviar moment (because, why not?).

Striped Beach Towel – A classic striped towel is a summer staple. It looks just as good draped over a lounge chair as it does wrapped around you after a dip.

Mini Cordless Table Lamp – Good lighting always sets the mood. These sleek little lamps add a warm, intimate glow to outdoor dinner parties without the hassle of cords.

Woven Bowl – Perfect for tossing in lemons, limes, or fresh bread—because even the practical things should be beautiful.

Bikini – Because summer entertaining isn't just about the setup—it’s about looking good while doing it. A sleek black bikini with contrast piping is classic and effortless.

Umbrella with Contrast Piping – An elegant way to add shade (and style). The contrast piping detail gives a subtle nod to old-school French Riviera glamour.

Pool Ring – This oversized black-and-white float is the perfect balance of chic and fun—because no pool party is complete without one.

The inspiration images? Exactly the kind of summer I’m manifesting: poolside hangs, striped umbrellas, seaside reading, and over-the-top snacks (fries and martinis, always).
