Festive Fashion for the Fourth

It’s about that time! The Fourth of July is my favorite day of the summer. It’s casual, carefree and celebratory — and it almost always comes through with a cocktail [or two] and a stellar fireworks show.

I usually spend the holiday by the water, so I wanted to share a little red, white and blue with you from the beach. If you want to feel festive [without buying a star-spangled bikini], here are a few fun ideas..

Keep the patriotism to your accessories, like these flag sunnies and Vans sneakers. 

Rock a suit in red, white or blue. Pair it with a casual button-down you’ve got in your closet. I chose my favorite chambray, but a white blouse also works!

Go beachy with natural hair and makeup. My go-to’s are this curl cream by Moroccon Oil and this lip + cheek stain by Benefit. Quick, easy and effortless!
