Red, White and Blue

Fourth of July is just 10 days away, do you know what you're wearing yet?! I absolutely love the 4th and all of the celebration that comes along with it. The best part? Wearing our nations colors of course!

 This Forever 21 romper is extremely inexpensive! At $11.50 you can afford to wear this one day and never wear it again if you don't want to! This would be a great swim-suit cover-up or perfect for an extremely hot day!

I am obsessed with hair bows, and have become obsessed with Etsy because they have so many inexpensive and creative hair bows to choose from. This hair bow is only $4.75 from the Etsy boutique called A and J Accessories! Not into hair bows or don't have a mini to dress? Buy one as a gift for a little one that you know, at $4.75 it is inexpensive but is sure to brighten anyone's day!

This hair bow from a different seller is adorable as well! This would look so cute with a white shift dress and navy Jack Rogers. Or even a white polo, red grosgrain belt, and navy shorts! Better yet, it's under $4!

 Not into sporting your patriotic colors? Try baking with them! Martha Stewart has a ton of great recipes for the 4th on her website. I love the traditional flag sheet cake. So simple to make and feeds many!

I love, love, love sparklers, especially the idea of handing them out at your wedding...Oh wait... this post is about the 4th of July... Well, they're great for the 4th as well! Make sure you stock up and light them post-fireworks!

Did you get invited to a party and need a hostess gift? This neoprene wine koozie is the perfect thing! Grab your favorite bottle of pinot or chardonnay and add this koozie and you are all set to impress!

So you already have happy feet, so get preppy feet! The red and white striped espadrille flats are Kate Spade Lido for $98. Don't want to splurge? Try the Tinley Road Emylinn espadrille flat for only $29.50!

This Williams Sonoma apron will  make anyone want to cook! This makes for another great hostess gift idea or perfect for you to sport while making dinner!

 Last, but not least, True Winds' Skipper tote just happens to be red, white and blue! You know what tote I'll be sporting on the 4th, that's for sure! Don't forget to enter the True Wind giveaway... it ends this Sunday at midnight!
Do you have your red, white, and blue all picked out for the 4th? If not, you have 10 days, so start shopping! Have a fabulous day!

Red, White and Blue Recap

What a wonderful fourth of July weekend. The weather was beautiful and there was no shortage of red, white and blue, that's for sure! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and made lots of fun memories. Here are a few shots of my red, white and blue celebrations (all taken by my nemesis.. also known as my blackberry).First was the red manicure

Then comes the red, white and blue cake I baked.

Last but not least: the outfit. Apparently my dad and I were on the same wave length when choosing what to wear. I have a navy top (Eddie Bauer), him a red top. Then you move on to our J. Crew plaid belts, and our seersucker bottoms, mine red (Ann Taylor Loft), and his blue. I also completed my look with a navy blue and white hair bow that was adorable, but unfortunately you cannot see it in this picture.. my dad must have left his hair bow at home ;)

How did you spend your holiday weekend? I watched Remember Me (I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars), ran a 5k, watched a parade, had a lunch cookout, spent time at the Country Club eating and swimming and saw fireworks! Lots and lots of fun! Have a fabulous day!
Yours,
