Celebrating Independence Day with STYLE


This week’s Independence Day celebrations are getting under way and I have been making plans that will include some pool time, chilling with friends, great food, and FUN despite the forecasted heatwave.   I may never get out of the pool so please keep the ice cream coming, and any frosty beverage with an umbrella won’t be ignored either. 


I have been shopping for the perfect pieces to show off my patriotic spirit with red, white and blue in all-American style classics in denim, cottons, aviators, and sneakers.  There are tons of choices this year and these pieces will be my go-to favorites for the rest of the summer.  


Skinny sunglasses are everywhere but just take a look at the supermodels and celebrities who have already moved on to sporty shield sunglasses and these Versace aviators in blue will keep me a major step ahead of the pack right into fall.  The gorgeous beach tote from Yosuzi will be my constant companion all summer, from vacation, to shopping, to the gym - loving the pompoms and fringed handles.  These Nike sneakers with red flash and blue stripe on the sole are so comfortable that I might just be choosing my outfits just to be able to wear them.  For a little romance I will add this cute new bikini from JCrew to my admittedly very large swimwear collection.  The red rickrack trim gives the crop top a sex kitten beach blanket bingo vibe - how American is that?  And the JCrew Beach Bum envelope pouch sums up my vacation dreams perfectly and it has stripes - enough said. 


This new style of denim shorts by McGuire available at ShopBop.com is higher cut with a waist cinching tie and a cuff at the bottom which gives it a more fashion-forward look than frayed cut-offs.  I’ll be wearing these all summer with cropped tops, t-shirts, and even little blouses.  Nothing says summer like straw accessories and this Madewell sunhat has a bandana band that gives it that stateside feeling and is packable, which means it is going everywhere with me, all summer long.  



Whatever your plans are to celebrate the Fourth I hope you have fun and fireworks!
