Red, White & You: What To Wear For The 4th

The 4th of July always holds a special place in my heart. It was the 3rd date for "Mr. Shop This" and I. Both of us remember what I wore, as it was carefully selected. I know you will find something in this edit to love, no matter what your plans are for the holiday.

The Bennet Buttondown Shirt 

Your search is over. I have found the perfect shirt. It's a bit oversized, cool in cotton, under $100, and comes in 22 colors and prints.

Anthropologie

Alyssa Caftan

Caftan chic. Details matter and this style doesn't disappoint. The perfect shade of red piping on the sleeve and neckline. Then there is that sensational stitched beading! Perfect for hosting or attending any patio party.

Sachin & Babi

Wide Leg Jumpsuit

Easy wear. Easy care. This jumpsuit would fit right in on the French Riviera as well at your favorite restaurant at home. Love the color and easy fit.

Cos

Eyelet Hem Midi Skirt

Isn't this just the prettiest? It's classic in cotton, and looks way more than the $138 price tag (minus an extra 25%!)

J. Crew

Ruffle Front Blouse

Dress up denim with this fun and fanciful blouse. You will wear it way beyond the 4th.

Anthropologie

Woven Beach Tote

This bag had me at the tassel! Though it is water resistant, I would tote everything in it to the beach and beyond! Pair this under $100 bag with something from your closet.

Mark and Graham

Navy Terry Tunic

Wear this from ship to shore. It looks very Tory Burch for more than half the price.

It's the season of the jacket! And look how good it looks with denim. Now on sale and stunning.

This cool and classic look may not be for you, but it's fun for anyone that loves a good tee top.  Wear this as styled here, over a swim suit, or with leggings. 

Free People

Cool in cotton with 1% elastane. These really are adorable. The zig zag stitching on the leg is super fun!

Plan a Party For The 4th Of July

Tuesday Trends: Peacock Hues

{ Via: Neiman Marcus }

According to Pantone, we'll all be proud as a peacock this Fall, to strut our stuff in eye catching shades of blue and green. The color is officially called "Quetzal Green." It's a deep elegant blue-green hue suggestive of rich plumage. I'll take elegant.  I've done some research for you. Here's the best of the stylish shade stocked now in the stores 
you love.

The Summer Shoulder

(Via Sunny Gu )

Back in February (see link at bottom of the page), I reported on one of Spring 2016's hottest trends, the off the shoulder look. Now that we are in mid-Summer, it is the right time to be wearing the trend. I have a casual backyard party coming up, and I am looking for the perfect shoulder baring look. Let's see what I found for us.
