Who do you know who owns a pool? If the answer is no one, we got you covered with these colorful, kitschy alternatives that are affordable and totally Instagram-worthy.

Funboy Retro Convertible Splash Pool ($270): You're welcome. This is the Instagrammable party prop of the summer, and you need one, like, yesterday.

It's officially the beginning of our favorite time of year, when we congregate with friends on someone's balcony, patio, or deck (or al fresco at one of our favorite restaurants) to spend a couple of hours imbibing, soaking up the sun, and chatting it up. Patio drinks season is officially here, and we can't think of a better way to welcome it in than with sangria. This Citrus Rosé Sangria recipe, which we created in collaboration with The Southern Millennial, is subtly sweet but also has a citrusy tang, and is made with our favorite kind of vino: rosé. It's also super easy to make. So next time you and your squad are wondering where to go for day drinks, the answer is a no-brainer: your house.

Last season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we all speculated that Kyle Richards swapped one Mo for another given her separation from Mauricio Umansky and budding friendship with Morgan Wade. While Richards was tight lipped throughout each episode, we learned a lot more from Buying Beverly Hills and tabloids alike, featuring more definitive timelines and theories about what was really going on at home with the Richards-Umansky family. Now, with Mauricio reportedly fully moved out and Morgan allegedly out of the picture, what's left for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14? Here's a breakdown of everything we know, from returning cast members, remaining couples, and more.

Who's returning to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for season 14?

There aren't any official announcements about the returning cast yet, but there are plenty of stories out there about who's not returning — and who's potentially getting demoted!

First up is Dorit Kemsley. Dorit's been on the show a while now, gabbing and girling with Kyle Richard throughout the latter half of the show's history — but there's been a wrench in that relationship ever since Kyle befriended Morgan Wade. And now, The Daily Mail exclusively reported that Dorit may even get demoted to "friend of the show" after not being fully truthful about the state of her relationship with husband PK Kemsley. Kyle Richards "dismissed" these reports, but we'll have to see about that. Fingers crossed she and Kyle can mend things...and that she and the producers can as well!

Next, we've gotta address Anne Marie Wiley. Anne Marie was let go from the show after just one season — where we can't help but giggle at the journey from calling herself a literal doctor to finally addressing that she's actually a nurse — and is allegedly okay with it. She told Peoplethat she's "in a great space" since then, so...good for you, girl! Just maybe don't obsess over someone's esophagus in your next foray into the film and TV world.

A regular for the last three season, Crystal Kung Minkoff is also not returning to the RHOBH world, according to Deadline. She noted on Instagram how heavy it was to carry "the weight" of being the first — and only — Asian American woman to join the RHOBH cast. Her presence and thoughtful opinions will definitely be missed!

For now, we can only assume that Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, and Sutton Stracke will make a return, but only time — and tabloids — will tell!

Will any new cast members join "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season 14?

Apparently Melanie Griffith, known for starring in projects like Working Girl, is joining the RHOBH crew for season 14, according to In Touch Weekly! She's a long-time friend to Kyle Richards, and I think that'll add a great dynamic...especially given how rocky things got between Kyle and Dorit last year. The girl needs friends now more than ever!

One of the sillier rumored cast situations is that Chelsea Handler was joining the show. The hilarious comedian quickly shut that down, however.

A person we don't think will ever return as a main cast member, friend, or otherwise? Miss upside down jacket herself, Denise Richards. 🤭

Who's still a couple on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" right now?

Image via Netflix

That's a very, very good question! Kyle and Mauricio are definitely broken up, and seemingly for good. The only other remaining couple is Dorit and PK, and well...according to The Daily Mail, PK's living in the Beverly Hills Hotel at the moment. It's not looking great for them, but we're hoping for the best!

When will "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season 14 air?

Image via Bravo

There's no set air date for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14, but I'd have to guess that we'll see these ladies (and whoever else joins them) by sometime in 2025.

Forks and knives are tired. When summer comes to town, it's all about barbecues, and that means eating with your hands. Cookout desserts like blueberry cheesecake dip and lemon lavender ice cream cones are naturally handheld, but apps can get in on the fun, too. Stick around here for 23 finger-lickin' finger foods that could very well be the star of your next summer party!

Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins

When it comes to finger foods, it's all about the details. These bad boys don't miss a beat – they're oozing with cheddar cheese, topped with a ketchup-Worcestershire sauce, and studded with only the crispiest fried onions. (via Heather Likes Food)

BLT Bites

You've seen finger sandwiches, but have you seen an open-faced BLT on a Ritz cracker? In this tiny version of the sandwich, the T is actually sundried tomato paste, and the L is lightly dressed in ranch. (via Salty Canary)

Green Chile Guacamole

Nothing facilitates conversation *quite* like good guacamole. Guests will keep coming back to this bowl for chips and chit-chat. (via Recipe Runner)

Baked Jalapeño Poppers

You could never go wrong with jalapeño poppers. Each bite is infused with cream cheese, spicy jalapeño, and crispy breadcrumbs that'll leave you wanting more and more. (via Live Eat Learn)

Brie-Stuffed Crispy Baby Potatoes

Equally cheesy and starchy, this potato finger food refuses to fail. Make sure you don't forget to season these spuds with a delicious mix of garlic and thyme! (via Half Baked Harvest)

Creamy Chicken Stuffed Mini Peppers with Spinach-Walnut Pesto

Stuffed peppers have been a highly popular dinner recipe for health gurus as of late, so it's only fitting that they be made à la mini. Fill yours however you like, but these are packed with creamy-cheesy chicken and roasted red peppers, then topped with a nutty pesto. (via Give It Some Thyme)

Habanero Peach Grilled Chicken Wings

Most any sweet-savory lover will adore these wings as they heat things up. (via A Spicy Perspective)

Hot Cheesy Crab Dip in a Bread Bowl

Generous pieces of crab swim in a flavorfully creamy mixture of cheese, cheese, and more cheese. It's all served in a toasty sourdough bowl. (via Give It Some Thyme)

Mini Fried Chicken and Waffles

The full-size version of this brunch classic is always a greasy, sticky mess (in the best way), but when it's mini, the mess is perfectly contained in a napkin. (via Tara's Multicultural Table)

Olive and Goat Cheese Bites with Prosciutto, Lemon & Thyme

Impress that friend who studied abroad in Italy during college with these refined bite-sized bites, which come together with just four ingredients. Use your favorite type of olives and goat cheese to make it more your own! (via Parsnips and Pastries)

Vegan Grazing Platter

Grazing platters are ideal for large get-togethers, since everyone can take exactly what they want to snack on. This vegan snack board has just about everything you'd need to satisfy your guests, but of course, you can easily customize your spread. (via The Edgy Veg)

Sausage Cheese Biscuits

Because no one ever had a bad thing to say about a biscuit — especially a biscuit peppered with sausage and cheese. (via Damn Delicious)

Deviled Eggs, Three Ways

While deviled eggs are *scrumptious* alone, there is quite literally a universe of egg-compatible toppings from which to choose. Go this route (spicy horseradish, truffle, and smoked salmon), or get creative with ingredients like bacon and fish roe. (via Leite's Culinaria)

Vegan Chicken Nuggets

When we think of finger food, chicken nuggets are an obvious answer. These tofu-based ones retain the ultimate balance between an exterior *crunch* and interior softness. Set out all the condiments you can get your hands on to maximize the savory flavors! (via Gastroplant)

BBQ Cauliflower Bites

These cauliflower bites are totally finger food-worthy because they're certifiably finger-lickin' good. Cauliflower gets coated in an easy cripsy layer before being tossed around in a tangy BBQ sauce. (via This Wife Cooks)

Yum Yum Shrimp Wonton Cups

To heck with shrimp cocktail – you'll want to eat an embarrassing number of these addictively crispy wonton cups, filled with well-seasoned shrimp and spicy mayo, aptly named Yum Yum sauce. (via Give It Some Thyme)

Parmesan Zucchini Bites

These zucchini bites taste like a cheesy veggie frittata. What makes them hold their shape so well? Good ol' Bisquick. Customize them with the fillings of your choosing. (via Give It Some Thyme)

Southern Hush Puppies

Hush puppies only seem right for the BBQ occasion. These buttery, bready finger food bites pair well with seafood or burgers! via Pink Owl Kitchen)

Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms

Cheese goes well with *just about* anything, but Parmesan really shines against the mushroom flavors in this recipe. (via Feel Good Foodie)

S'mores Bites

Summer's greatest dessert gets packed into party-friendly bars. These babies have an intensely buttery graham cracker crust and a fudgy chocolate layer that is positively packed with marshmallows. (via Tara's Multicultural Table)

Vegan Carrot Cake Cookies

The creamy frosting that coasts these massive cookies will keep everyone coming back for more. (via This Wife Cooks)

Watermelon Pizza

A perfectly sweet cream cheese frosting holds everything together in this sweet treat. Get playful with the fruity toppings you add to create a rainbow-infused bite! (via Live Eat Learn)

Chewy Vegan Chai Cookes

Crispy on the edges and outside, and buttery-soft on the inside. That's *exactly* how we like our cookies! Your BBQ guests will praise you for making this delectable dessert recipe. (via Munching with Mariyah)

We’re ever so thankful that things are warming up a bit, and with a new season comes a whole new round of trends. Talking about color specifically, the 2024 Pantone Fashion Color Trend Reportgives a good guide to all the hues we’ll be seeing this summer. We hand-picked our 4 favorite colors that are approachable for everyday wear – and just downright fun. Hop into something vibrant, and explore the coolest summer colors for 2024 below.

Kimchi Blue Shay Smocked Cropped Top

Butter Yellow

This serene shade of yellow is honestly the “It” color of the season. It’s literally smooth like butter, and is super adorable alongside a good pair of denim shorts or jeans. Butter yellow is light and breezy, just like the summer season.

Free-est Made Me Smile Mini

This adorable strapless dress would go great with a patio on a warm day.

Jeffrey Campbell Dancerina Mary Jane Ballet Flats

Knock out two trends at once with these simple butter yellow ballet flats that work wonderfully with skirts and jeans alike.

Adidas Samba OG Sneakers

Lilac

Since it was spotted on our fave gal, Taylor Swift, this purple-y hue isn't going anywhere. Lilac feels like an elegant graduation from lavender (ahem, someone play “Lavender Haze”), and we are totally here for it. It looks so dreamy on flowy skirt styles or more structured tops.

Maeve Boxy Tee

This casual tee is worthy of everyday wear. Its cotton construction makes it super breathable for the office or the gym.

Wild Fable Leisure Mini Skort

You'll wanna jet around in this easygoing mini skort for those wild summer adventures. It's fitted with attached shorts for extra coverage and is delightfully stretchy so you have freedom of movement.

Old Navy High-Waisted Crinkle Gauze Pull-On Ankle Pants

Red-Orange

Basic red was trending so hard last year, so it’s no surprise that its orange-y color cousin has entered the chat. Red-orange is just the shade you need for embracing summer, especially if where you live is heatin’ up. Make a statement with a red-orange dress, or even just add a simple pop of color with some earrings!

Free-est Oasis Midi Dress

This fiery, flirty dress is an easy one-and-done for summer date nights. The fluttery sleeves and tied neckline add to a very whimsical vibe.

Universal Thread Flat Sprayed Metal Hoops

Add a splash of color to a basic get-up with these colorful hoops! They're fairly large, so you can't miss 'em.

Everlane The TENCEL™ Boxy Shirt

Chambray Blue

Denim is undeniably having its moment right now (everyone say “thank you, Beyoncé”), but it’s not always practical for the hotter months. That’s why chambray is the perfect solution! Chambray is essentially woven cotton, so it makes for a lighter, more breathable wear. You can rock it alongside more denim pieces, or even white pants or skirts to pull it off easily.

Chinese Laundry Rozie Half d'Orsay Slingback Pumps

Step out in trendy style with these paneled slingbacks! The chunky square heel makes each and every step comfortable as ever.

J.Crew Astrid Pants

Stretchy pants FTW! These easy, breezy chambray bottoms have a flattering wide waistband and a singular back pocket for practicality.
