5 MINUTE ESCAPE

Fourth-of-July-sales-south-street-seaport-nyc

Happy Birthday America! We’re spending the holiday weekend at the lake and until the rain has passed today I figured I’d share a quick round-up. So take a 5 minute escape.. then get back out there and celebrate with burgers/beers/beach/friends/family or any other way you want! Enjoy your Fourth of July friends and thanks for stopping by 🙂

– I shared a few ideas for Fourth of July style and I think this look (in almost head to toe ASOS) is by far my favorite. There’s a few sizes left in the striped off-the-shoulder top I’m wearing, but hurry because it’s now on sale!

– Need help packing the next time you take a weekend getaway? I’ve got beach and city carry-ons covered.

– Speaking of packing things up, I’ve been carrying this striped raffia tote everywhere since Spring and this weekend only, you can get one free if you spend over $350 at Elaine Turner!

– If you really want to make your red, white and blues pop – I tried Stila All-Day Lipstick in Beso for the first time (via an exclusive Birchbox set) and it’s the most perfect red lipstick I’ve ever tried. And trust me, I’ve tried a lot.

– By this point you know how much I love Sole Society (my shoes & accessories go-to) and their Fourth of July sale includes lots of my current faves, like this oversized hat and these perfect ankle booties.

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale (that magic time of year when they put new FALL goods on sale for a limited time) starts in less than 2 weeks, but FYI if you’re a Rewards card member you can get first access starting this Thursday!

 

CASUAL FOURTH OF JULY STYLE

Casual Fourth of July Style wearing Old Navy white denim shorts and Sole Society floppy hat

In case you haven’t noticed.. I’m a pretty big fan of hats (latest evidence here and here). I’ve especially upped my Summer hat game in the past couple of months and this red and white floppy version is my newest edition. On major sale and just in time for Fourth of July.

FRINGE AND FLARES

Seventies style in French Connection fringe top and flare leg jeans

I originally thought I’d be able to break out this fringe top over the weekend as a swimsuit cover-up, but the weather had other plans. Luckily it works just as well thrown on over denim in part 2 of what is apparently becoming a Seventies, Americana theme here on the blog (check out part 1 here).

PRINTED SHORTS AND PANAMA HAT

The Steele Maiden: Printed Shorts and Panama HatThese photos feel like a sunny day in Spain to me. The old church, the colorful door, the printed shorts and wide brim hat. In reality, we were just south of Union Square and I was on my way to work. But a girl can dream.

STRIPED T-SHIRT DRESS AND SNEAKERS

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wear this striped dress on 3 separate occasions over the weekend. And I picked it up on Friday. But this was my favorite rendition – stripes, denim, red lips. You know the deal.
