Incorporating Patriotism Into Everyday Fashion

 Linking up for Friday's Fancies

 

Who misses the fireworks and festivities from yesterday? I do! For me, there's nothing that represents summertime more than the 4th of July. Just because Independence Day has come and gone, doesn't mean you can't still show a little patriotism. Afraid of wearing the stars and stripes? Don't be. Instead of going all out with bold flag prints, try incorporating red, white, and blue in smaller doses. While the scarf above screams USA it's not obnoxious.

What do you think about flag fashion? Would you wear it?

This weekend is the birthday of my bestest, oldest (as in she's soon to be ancient) friend, Kathrin of Shop.School.Sleep. She's throwing a shindig to celebrate and I can't wait to relive the amazingness that was her 21st birthday. Here's to puking in public bathrooms!

Since I was only 20 I couldn't legally drink, but I made sure she had enough for the both of us!  
Come back Monday for a little gossip!  

Memorial Day Weekend is Here!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, my friends! I hope those of you here in the States have a happy, long weekend ahead of yourselves. And more importantly, I hope you'll take a few minutes to give thanks to a service member and really think about the sacrifices that our military has made, and continues to make, to ensure our freedom.

This weekend I won't be up to much. I plan on heading to my parents' to BBQ and have a sleepover at a friend's - complete with booze and The Vampire Diaries second season.Yup, that's the life of a soon-to-be-29-year-old!

At some point I'd love to partake in some seafood consumption on a nice airy patio. Wouldn't this look above be a great for just that? Too bad it's supposed to be chilly and rain this weekend. So I'll just pretend to be wearing this outfit in warm weather.

Since it's Fiday I'm linking up with Long Distahnce Loving for Friday's Fancies and Blonde Episodes for Fashion Friday. Head over to these fabulous blog to get your fashion fix and join in on the fun.

Have a great weekend and be safe everyone!

Chambray and a Giveaway

Yup, I'm aware that rhymes. I'm a nerd like that. Anyway, this week is all about hot fashion and men. So let's get to it with this adorable outfit I've created, centered around chambray.
