Fourth of July Food

One of the biggest reasons I always look forward to Fourth of July is for the fun BBQs with friends and family.  I love sitting outside, enjoying the weather and reminiscing about past times.  Whether you are hosting a BBQ at your house or going to one, these treats are sure to be a hit!

Berry Bites - a healthy treat!

Fourth of July is quickly approaching and summer is in full swing.  Friday I went to the beach for the first (hopefully following many more!) time this summer!  The feeling of summer is finally starting to set in.  Here is what I've been loving this week.

Fourth of July Fashion

Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays.  It's kind of the holiday that starts summer for me.  I love having BBQs with friends and family and watching the fireworks together.  

While I don't go all out for the Fourth, I do try to incorporate some red, white, and blue into my outfit!  Whether it be colorful nails, or a striped navy top - I try to put some spirit into my outfit.

A leather cuff is a must have in my closet.  I love this Tory Burch navy blue one!

I love this Forever 21 dress.  It comes in both a blue and red color and couldn't be more perfect for the festive holiday!

Red has always been one of my favorite nail colors - this Butter London shade {Knees Up} is one of my favorites!

This tank from Brandy Melville is super cute and wearable!  I would wear this with some denim shorts and flat sandals for fireworks with my fam.

I love, love, love this swimsuit!  The top and bottoms together are super girly and appropriate for a poolside BBQ.

Lastly, these flag printed shorts are a little out of my comfort zone, but they are really adorable and could look cute when styled appropriately.
