How Tuesday: How to Prep for the 4th of July

The holiday is approaching...and I know I'm ready for a break!

How to prep for the 4th...

1. Make a plan - whether it's a trip or beers & bbq, get something set.

2. Prepare some grub

- pico de gallo + blue corn tortilla chips=festive snack

- Miller Light, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Bud Light are just a few beers that are festive looking...Pabst being the most patriotic (but not as easy to find)

- Non-alcoholic beverages...red punch, blue punch, etc.

- American foods: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, burgers and dogs

3. Get the extras - Sparklers and Streamers

4. Get ready

- Shades and Sunscreen

- Bug spray for fireworks time

- Simple outfit for all day long (I'll most likely wear stripes because I'm obsessed...) (Maybe you need a festive headband???)

What are your favorite 4th of July traditions?

Can't Do Clogs.

I have a can't do attitude about very few things, especially when it comes to trends and fashion. I just cannot bring myself to wear clogs............!!!!!!!

Regarding the strapless backless clogs, I especially have a problem. So hard to keep from flopping your feet against them and annoying your co-workers ahemmmmmm and so hard to just keep them on your feet in general. Regarding the neon ones...I mean don't get me wrong, I have some colorful shoes in my closet (cue Prada), but I cannot stomach the purple and neon yellow. These remind me a little too much of support shoes as well...sorry!!!

Does everyone else agree or am I just being ridiculously stubborn?

Happy Sunday!

Happy Weekend!

I'm headed to the pool... :D

A friend in Friday

The weekend is almost here! I can taste it! I got a Who, What, Wear on Tuesday that made me laugh---it has to do with Airport dressing. Went right along the theme with my How Tuesday this week.

Between leggings, skinnies, slip ons and scarves...over-sized totes, simple accessories, and a sweater to throw on, the airport can be an easily maneuverable transition between where you are and where you want to go. I love to wear baggy linen pants and flip flops in the airport...or skinnies and ballet flats...and I try to bring a snack/buy a snack since I definitely cannot rely on something tasty on the plane any more.

Anyone travelling anywhere this summer?

Be back soon...

Currently looking something like this:

I'll be up and running tomorrow, I hope!!! :)

Recent Treasuries

I've listed a few treasuries on Etsy. It's so fun and easy! A good way to get your shop known among other sellers and enter the chance for yours to be selected for the front page! What do you think?

If you notice the big fat red arrow on the second treasury, it's because it points to my sister's fabulous new shop! More details on that later, but you should definitely check it out now! Today is also Virginia's birthday!!! Yay Happy Birthday dear sister!
