Junk Love: Boating Party

Am I still in the mood for red, white, and blue? You betcha. And do I still love nautical junk? Yep. If I lived at the coast, I would definitely have boat-y type things in my house, like these great Italian bowls with life preservers:

And for the legendary cocktail collection, an ice bucket and glasses with nautical signal flags:

And speaking of signal flags, this is just one of several that I found on Etsy, and the paper tablecloth and napkin set is a birthday party dream. (By the way, this flag means Yes!)

For the nautical-inspired home, brass accents are essential:

Plus, some classic blue and white for the walls (or the kitchen):

And even if you're not in search of permanent decorations or collectibles, don't you think these would be great for a yacht party? Swab those decks, matey! And chill the champagne!

Junk Love: Red, White, & Blue

On Etsy
It's no secret that one of our favorite color combinations is red, white, and blue. One of the Blackbird girls has a collection of scarves that fit this description, and if you look at the other Blackbird's assortment of Vera scarves, you'll find quite a few variations on the good old red, white, and blue. For us, it's a happy combination. Yes, it's typical of the Fourth of July, but it's also graphic and makes us feel good.

With this in mind, we've decided to throw an imaginary party, where we actually fit into vintage bathing suits and no one is too ashamed to wear a crop top and shorts. Indulge us, dear reader, as we dive into the fantasy....

I haven't worn a two-piece since I was four, but I'd be willing to give it a shot in this one:

Seriously, can it get cuter than this? No. No, it can't.

And just in case we're not feeling brave enough to show skin, we've got plenty of bold prints to choose from:

And of course every party needs drinks. What better way to serve than with bold stripes?

Now, isn't this a party you'd want to come to?
