Apertivo

I love having friends over for dinner, drinks, apertivo - whatever! I also love keeping it so simple so it is stress-free for everyone.  A simple cheese plate, easy-to-assemble bruschetta, and plenty of rosé is my go-to. We got this Butternut Brooklyn cheese board for a wedding gift and it is a kitchen/entertaining favorite; Riedel wine glasses {these} are pretty perfect for white wine or rosé. For the bruschetta, I sliced a French baguette and topped it with fresh mozzarella, chopped fresh basil, roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic, EVOO, and balsamic. Just add jazz music, fresh flowers, a great candle {Candlefish No. 40  is what I burned this night, one of my faves}, and great company, and you've got the perfect evening :)

Happy June! I cannot believe we are well into summer, and it's time to celebrate all things warm weather: flowers in bloom citrus-scented anything, tropical-inspired fashion, and simple beauty and make-up to beat the heat. Below are a few June items that I am currently coveting {image via This Is Glamorous}:
