Gal pal. Bestie. BFF. Whatever we call them, girlfriends, not diamonds, truly are a girl’s best friend. No matter how often we see them, girlfriends are our sounding boards and our confidence boosters. They’re who we turn to when we need a shoulder to cry on and who we count on for honest advice. So as a shout out to our homegirls, let’s plan an evening to celebrate girl power.

It doesn’t matter if you are vacationing across the country or relaxing at home, one way you set the scene for a tropical getaway is with a taco bar.
Nothing goes hand in hand like great weather and outdoor entertaining. Here are a few tips that will make your guests want to linger long after the sun sets.
Unless it’s really a swanky event, feel free to skip the paper invites and send an email to your guests. Make it easy on them and ask them to respond only if they can’t make it.
Decide what type of shindig you’re throwing. A favorite is pot luck. Just ask guests to let you know what they’ll bring so you can plan the menu. (You don’t want to be faced with three potato salads and no dessert.) Even if guests are bringing food, you should plan on an appetizer to get the evening started. Make an easy antipasto appetizer by filling a generously sized tray with cuts of salami, olives, roasted bell peppers, assorted cheeses and a variety of crackers or slices of a baguette. Cheese platters are always a great option. Click here to find out which cheeses will keep your guests wanting more.
TIP: Paper napkins and plastic utensils may be more convenient, but you’ll elevate the tone of your event if you pull out cloth napkins and use real cutlery instead.
Hot summer evenings demand plenty of ice. Don’t have an ice bucket? No worries. Just line any clean, attractive container with heavy duty plastic to make it waterproof and voila, instant ice bucket.
Set up a bar cart with essentials like chilled alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and of course nothing says summer like lemonade. Turn it into a classic adult beverage with a British flair by adding Pimm’s Cup No. 1 for a light, refreshing cocktail.
Make the evening magical by placing candles everywhere. They can even do double duty if bugs are an issue when you use these candle holders.
Use wireless speakers to liven up the evening with music. And if the evening gets chilly, warm things up with a fire pit. More than just a heat source, fire pits add instant ambiance. Outdoor Ashley HomeStore is appearing in-store soon and now online!

This Oregon raised Australian labradoodle worked his way right into our hearts the first time we laid eyes on him. Reagan can be seen sitting at the table, dressed up in the latest fashions, or dancing around outside– but always next to his best human friend, Buddy.
The pair met when they were both only 11 months old and bonded instantly. They have been inseparable since then, gracing us with their sweet dance moves and absolute love for life. Their many adorable shenanigans have landed them both a NBC Nightly News TV spot and on Little Big Shots
Proceeds of the 2017 Reagandoodle calendar go towards the Foster Parent’s Night Out (FPNO for short) program. The program, in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Human Services, provides consistent respite care to DHS foster parents.
Being a foster parent is rewarding, but can also be emotionally and physically draining. Foster parents are able take a much needed night off while having trained volunteers watch the family. Donate to the FPNO program here.
Fans are so thrilled with this dynamic duo that a bookis now available. It will feature Reagan and Buddy’s story with high quality photos (some never seen before on their social media) and a few surprises. Like the calendar, all profits will go towards the FPO.
As obsessed as we are? Check out Reagandoodle on their Instagram.
Be sure to shop the Keeblen TV stand, Demarlos bed, and Pinnadel bar stools in Reagan’s beautiful home here. Got a delightful doodle too? Share your furniture and your fur babies with us using #myashleyhome and we may feature you too.
