Happy July 4th!!

/
This is my favorite holiday, so I wanted to put together some VERY festive red/white/blue outfits for you all! :-) I'll be spending most of the day on the beach, but tonight for fireworks will be wearing jean shorts with a navy and white striped tank and gold sparkly sandals. I'll post a pic later. In the meantime, hope you have a very happy Independence Day!!

Fabulous Finds

Free shipping on orders over $40 at Forever21.com with code FIREWORKS. My picks: 1. I tried this hot little number the other day - in a size M it was long enough/roomy enough to be worn as a dress. And get this, it's $16!!  2. Only $28 from the Love 21 line and looks like it's from Banana. 'Nuff said. 3. The perfect sundress with edge (love the black/brown combo) and only $17 from the Heritage collection.

Photo left: My inspiration from J.Crew.com. This is my first time wearing 2 cardigans at once (leave it to J.Crew to think of these things). The top one is very thin, so really just feels like I'm wearing one! After yesterday's explosion of color, I was ready for a more neutral outfit today. :-)
