Stars & Stripes



dress: old navy | mini purse: crewcuts | sandals: old navy (similar)

Happy Independence Day my lovelies! Just a quick note (and a sweet little girl smile) to wish you an amazing Fourth of July. I'm so very blessed and lucky to live in such a wonderful country! A country where I can nurture this little corner of the internet, am free to love and believe what I choose, etc. I hope that today is filled with fireworks both in the sky and in your hearts!

Fourth of July Menu

I'm rounding out this week of patriotic inspiration with a few delicious choices for tonight's festivities. Summer flavors are my favorite... so fresh and vibrant and there's nothing better than a hot dog (dressed up with sweet hot relish) and corn on the cob on the fourth! Finish it off with something sweet and in-season and you're golden...What are you making/eating to celebrate 'MERICA?

  1. Grilled Hot Dogs with Sweet Hot Relish
  2. Sriracha Sweet Corn
  3. Red White and Blue Salad
  4. Baked Potato Salad
  5. Strawberry Mint Tart
  6. Nectarine and Wisconsin Burrata Bite Crostini
4th of July Style Guide


Since tomorrow is July 4th (aka my favorite day of Summer) I figured you'd all be doing something FABULOUS to celebrate! You might even benefit from a few last minute outfit ideas... Whether you've planned a backyard BBQ with family, watching the fireworks with your beau or you're watching a hometown Independence Day parade (like Lo and I will be doing) it's always fun to inject a little festivity into your look. Instead of going full-on stars & stripes (which, let's face it, I would totally enjoy), this year I'll be looking to add a little subtle Americana. Chambray, navy stripes and pops of red are all great ways to go! Since we're still in the midst of a week-long thunderstorm I'll probably be sporting my rainboots (are you sick of them yet?) but feel free to substitute your favorite sandals or vintage sneaks.
