I’m a style editor and I want these 9 Anthropologie buys for my July 4th party

 $598

A bar cart on wheels that is made from an indoor/outdoor material, such as rattan, is an ideal way to take the party outside. Fill it with your guests’ favorite tipples – make mine a mezcal margarita! – and park it next to the pool for easy-access refreshments for you and your party guests.

$78

We love a Great American Baking Show masterpiece, so it’s worth having a charming cake stand in case one of your guests should be so kind. If they arrive empty-handed then a cake stand is a great way to give height to your tablescape, ideal for displaying fruit or stacking brownies and smaller bakes. 

$178 

It’s easy to think of cutlery as an afterthought. When perusing the Anthropologie new collections, this 20-piece set certainly caught my attention. The ombre trend isn’t a new one but this is the first time I’ve seen it on cutlery – and done so elegantly, too, don't you think?

$150

This recommendation comes tried and tested. I’ve been the owner of an Always Pan for a couple of years and it’s been a real game changer. Okay, so I can’t put it in the dishwasher but literally nothing sticks to it. Its stylish aesthetic means you can leave this pan on display, perfect for parties.

$838.80 

For the ultimate hostess with the most-ess status, ensure that your guests can enjoy some comfy seating. This Brody outdoor chair – with its sweet scalloped edge and ball topped frame – is the perfect way to bring some style and comfort to your garden. Not only that, stripes will look great season after season. 

$48

On first impression a doormat might not seem like the perfect party piece but if you’ve got a large number of guests coming in and out of your house, it’s worth offering them something to wipe their feet on before entering. And the monogrammed design makes it feel unique to your doorway.

$56

Colorful wine glasses are a great way to add a touch of fun to your party – and ideal to help you remember which glass is yours. I love the elegant stem and handsome range of colors of the Morgan. For a party, I often look for glassware that isn’t too fragile and this is perfect.

$52.80 

I have been an admirer of Lucie de Moyencourt’s work for a while. I have one of her shell dishes in my bathroom, which brings me joy every morning. Anthropologie is now offering her designs on a larger scale and this stunning platter is most certainly on my party list  to elevate my dining table. 

$328

If you’re hosting a party, yet don’t have a huge yard (or space indoors) then foldaway furniture is the ideal solution. It can often look cheap but this design from outdoor furniture experts Emu feels high-end and fun thanks to its colors options – the cherry red will give the perfect salute to Independence Day!
