Whether you’re having a low-key Fourth of July with family or a big neighborhood bash or a relaxing day at the beach, putting together that red-white-blue outfit is a lot of fun.
My family used to go to North Carolina every year and my sister and I got really into the outfits. (Realistically speaking, I was probably more into the outfits and sort of forced/dragged/persuaded her to join in.) One year, we had these weird scrunchies from The Children’s Place… oh, how cool I thought they were.
Of course, my days of scrunchies and American flag bikinis are more than over. This doesn’t mean that festive outfits that are sophisticated and “grown up” can’t be put together.
The College Prepster family is heading to Longboat Key for the weekend… I’m preparing my suitcase and filling it to the brim with reds, whites, and blues!
Red bikini=adorable!! The 4th of July celebrations in my family are crazy and I think the best part is showing up clad in red white an blue (and the all American food of course)! I plan on giving myself a quick at-home mani-pedi with a red gem of a polish and a bit of martha stewart glitter! Happy fourth to you!!
I love shopping at st. armands. my grandma has a house in venice so we always head to longboat and siesta key. I'm really wishing i was there right now!! Have fun
I have to point out that the Kendra Scott necklace in the fireworks outfit is pink/fuchsia and not red so it doesn't really match. Sorry, I'm just OCD like that haha. But everything looks SO cute!!
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical.

Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
love the dress in the second one!! just wish i wasn't so short…no maxi dresses EVER fit!
I'm loving the middle combo in the first set, and the third set!
I'm going pretty basic for my 4th of July outfit: navy shorts, white polo, red scarf, and silver sparkly sandals!
Have a great trip!
