We've got less than a week left until we celebrate the summer's biggest holiday - the 4th of July! I love seeing people decked out in red, white, and blue, but I rarely wear these colors on this holiday. This year I promised myself I would add a few patriotic pieces to my closet so I can celebrate in style. This time of year is usually spent outside especially when it's time for fireworks! I've gathered a few of my favorite pieces that will keep you comfortable, cool, and show off your American spirit no matter where you're headed. Keep reading to see my red, white, and blue favorites for the 4th of July!

Save vs Splurge: Laser Cut Wedges

When I tell you guys I have been searching for a dupe to the infamous Jeffrey Campbell "Rodillo-Hi" wedge sandal, I really mean SEARCHING. I have scoured the internet high and low looking for a cheaper, for lack of a better term, but equally gorgeous pair of lace-up laser cut wedges and I finally hit the jackpot! It took me 2 seconds to select my size, add them to my cart, and hit checkout - that's how excited I was about this great find. I honestly couldn't keep these to myself so keep reading to check out where I found the Save version of my laser cut wedges!

*UPDATE: Both pairs of these wedges have since sold out! I have found a super similar pair at Target for those of you still interested in purchasing!

My Summer '16 Bucket List

The first official day of summer is today, but in my neck of the woods it's been summer for a couple months now. It didn't feel like we had much a spring here in VA which makes me a little sad because it's my second favorite season (after Fall, of course). Now that it's officially summer I can share my short, but sweet Summer Bucket List with you all. I learned from my December Bucket List to keep it short and simple so I can spend more time actually enjoying myself instead of worrying about crossing tasks off a list. However, I'm super excited to cross these summer to-dos off my list plus a few more!

Keeping It Natural with JORD

This summer is all about natural textures and patterns for me: snake print, straw handbags, and now wooden watches! I was recently contacted by the good people at JORD Watches and asked if I would like to try out one of their gorgeous timepieces. I said YES without a second thought and I'm so glad I did! It's definitely a unique watch and conversation starter. A lot of people wonder if it's heavy or made from cheap materials and the answer to both questions is no! It's a light watch so it doesn't feel like I'm carrying a log around on my wrist, but it's made from natural Zebrawood and Maple so it will last and last.
