Four for the Fourth

I'm having a hard time believing that it's July already.  Not to mention we are TWO days away from July 4th.  In recent years this holiday is becoming more and more one of my favorites.  I love the reason, I love the colors, I love the food, I love everything about it.  I decided today to highlight four aspects of the Fourth.. Fashion, decor, menu and sweets/treats…

Fashion… 

The Best Floppy Hat Ever {via}
Patriotic Nails {via}
Red White & Blue Romper {via}
Red White & Blue {via}
Pattern Top {via}
We the People Like to Party {via}

Decor… 

USA Tassel Banner {via}
Floral Arrangements {via}
Star & Stripes Canvas {via}
Pinwheels {via}
Mason Jar Candles {via}
Letter Flag Hanger {via}

Menu… 

Watermelon Bowl {via}
Mini Sliders {via}
Fruit Kabobs {via}
Brie & Berries Personal Pizza Crisps {via}
Mexican Dip {via}
Stars Dip {via}

Sweets & Treats…

Cookie Cake {via}
Cake Pops {via}
Banana Split {via}
Red & Blue Martini {via}
Chocolate Covered Strawberries {via}
Sangria {via}


I am dying to find that first outfit with the amazing floppy hat before this weekend - how perfect! With how popular tassels are right now, I'd love to have that USA banner at my BBQ.  As far as food, I want it all but the watermelon stars are perfect, I just don't think mine would come out that good and the red, white & blue sangria looks ah-mazing.

TGIT gals & Cheers to the most weekends starting tonight! 

What's your favorite part of the Fourth of July??

  15. I can't believe it's July either!?!? So crazy!!! Love your fashion picks, it seems that red, white and blue fashion in stores is a bit lacking this year which bums me out. I'll have to stock up for next year :)!
