Sew Cute

Happy Fourth of July!!!!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July! I had a super great time staying with my friend Cassidy in Bettendorf, Iowa. As her family said I had a "Old fashion small town 4th of July". Our fourth was filled with swimming, me burning, going to there street fest, and watching the fireworks. It was one of the best fourths yet! 

While I was there Cassidy and I picked up these American flag boxers at Target because we were planning our Halloween costumes already..... Then we decided to wear them around the rest of the day. They are a clone of all of the American flag shorts guys wear so we felt pretty cool and hey they are super patriotic. We took a punch of srat pictures with them on so I hope you enjoy!

A trip to Bettendorf is not complete without a visit to Whitey's! Its their ice cream place and it is so good!!!

On the 4th we spent the day swimming which was super fun! I haven't swam in probably over a year.... I know I don't get out much. But it was super fun laying by the pool and swimming with some of my Pi Phi sisters.

Stripes and Pearls

A patriotic look for Memorial day? Of course! Last week was memorial day and this was the all American get up that I came up with. I am wearing one of my favorite striped shirts from J Crew (yes I have so many that this is considered my favorite...). I paired it with a fun pair of linen nautical inspired shorts. A tiny secret, they are from the kids section of J Crew! For accessories I wore one of my favorite statement necklaces, also from J Crew. Gold bow earrings, Alex and Ani bangles, and a neutral Henri Bendel bracelet complete the look. But, how could I forget about my new Sperry Topsider boat shoes I got from the Nordstrom sale! They have small anchor details on them and they are adorable. I can't wait to style them with more nautical outfits. Also, I carried my anchor bag from J Crew which I featured in a post a little while back.

The Outfit: Of course it being Fourth of July you must sport your red white and blue proudly. So I chose this super cute almost country concert like crop top with a pair of plain high waisted shorts. In my hair I wore the classic bandana look. Also, I wore a combination of many red lip products in attempt to keeping my lipstick in place.

Some tasty treats I enjoyed. On the left I had watermelon and lemon italian ice which was super refreshing. Then my friend's mom made us some delicious patriotic cupcakes! 

 

The fireworks were absolutely amazing. They lasted about 40 min which is really impressive for just a suburb city fireworks so it was quite the show!

My Fourth of July nails. I used a variety of the Revlon Nail art nail polishes that I recently won for a contest for Teen Vogue. Also, I used gold shatter nail polish by OPI on one of my fingers on the other hand.
