This post is brought to you by TargetStyleShop the new Home collection in stores and online.Summertime soiree’s are officially in season, and I couldn’t be more excited to let my hair down and have some fun! Nothing sounds more perfect than lounging on a beach blanket, enjoying the breeze and basking in the cooler temperatures the evening brings. The only things missing are the hula dancers and a live band serenading me with the sounds of a tropical vacation.

For this party, I was partnered with Jessica from Little Baby Garvin and together we were challenged to providing each other with inspiration for our respective parties. So fun! She pulled together some fabulous items from Target, to help me decorate for a Palm Springs-esque Tiki Tropical backyard bash – and I ran with it!

The fabulous thing about decorating for an event with items from Target, is that I can always rest assured they will have anything and everything I could possibly want or need. I can pull in pieces I already own from past seasons, and everything will coordinate beautifully.

The Summer Collection is bursting at the seams with color and perfectly reflects my current state of mind. The rainbow melamine tray is the stuff that happiness is made of – fun, stylish, durable and able to withstand a house full of boys and beach balls bouncing off the walls.  If your house gets rowdy, like my house gets rowdy – run, don’t walk, to your nearest Target and stock up on all of the durable pieces they have on the shelves for outdoor dining and entertaining.

No party is complete without a bar cart filled with fun treats for the 21 and over crowd, and a signature drink – or in this case a signature poptail – my new favorite way to cool down and spice things up at the same time. Make them ahead of time with a popsicle mold and a mix of juices and flavors and you won’t be stuck behind the bar blending frozen drinks while your guests have all the fun! Display them in the happiest rainbow serving bowl ever, and fill it with ice and frozen cherries to keep things cool.

Whether you plan to stay inside to beat the heat or take it outside for some fun in the sun, Target is the place to go for all of your shopping needs. Just don’t forget the sunblock and some sunnies, it’s hard to mingle with your guests if you are blinded by the light and burned to a crisp, amiright?

If you need me… I will be out back. I plan to put in some serious quality time taking up 3 out of the 4 spots on the 4 person picnic blanket and will stay cool with refreshments from the bar cart!
