8 Amazon Finds For The 4th

Amazon can save any day, including The 4th of July. That's my fave benefit of Amazon Prime, free fast (one or two day) delivery. With their big sale coming up, Amazon Prime Days, if you aren't a member, now is a good time to join. Meanwhile for this coming holiday, here are 8 items that will come in handy this week and all summer long

The Aminugal Mesh Ballet Flat

An Amazon influencer I follow swears by these fancy flats. They are certainly on trend and as cute as can be in 23 colors! A fun find for $33.99.

Disposable Plastic Plates

Entertaining a crowd? Set a spirited table that's also elegant. These will get to you in one day.

Striped Cotton Top
Perfectly nautical for the 4th but excellent for the rest of summer. It's all cotton, which is important to me.

Patriotic Cocktail Picks

I always keep picks on hand in gold. But these certainly are fun for the 4th. Use them for olives in martinis, melon balls and prosciutto, or any kind of appetizer. Fun for $5.00

Naghedi Havana Tote
Medium in size with an extra dose of style. It comes with a matching zippered pouch. 

Double Pronged Skewers 

I own these, and they are great. Food pushes off easily, they are long and flat. So they can be flipped and turned easily for even cooking.

I talked about these last week. They come on a roll and are fabulous! A large array of colors and sizes are available

Mar Y Sol Raffia Clutch

A clutch is always chic for dress or casual. This happens to be marked down by 40%. It just might make your outfit.
