The Fourth of July is days away, so let’s talk about what to wear for the holiday. I always want to dress festively for the Fourth, but don’t want to end up looking like an American Flag. To avoid this, I try to only wear only two of the three red, white, and blue colors. Since white has been one of my favorite colors to wear this summer, I knew I wanted to wear white and this matching set was the perfect option. I paired it then with a red lip and cross-body to add a pop of color and make the look Fourth of July ready.

It’s officially summer and berry season, so I want to share with you this delicious blueberry slab pie recipe. After making a different slab pie a few weeks ago for a BBQ, I have been all about the slab pie. I find it easier to make than a normal pie, is perfect for a crowd, and is no mess to eat with your hands. Here, I created a blueberry slab pie topped with stars that would be perfect for the upcoming Fourth of July. To make, I followed this slab pie recipe, but instead of the cherry filling, I chose to use this blueberry filling recipe and swapped the regular flour for tapioca flour for a thicker filling. The results yielded a pie perfect for any summer get-together.

Summer is officially here and I have almost completely converted my wardrobe to exclusively dresses. They are my clothing piece of choice for extra hot days and make getting dressed a breeze. I’d been looking for a flowy, sleeved white dress and was happy to finally come across this one. The eyelet detailing gives it a more elevated look and I know it will be a go-to this summer. I plan on pairing it with sandals and a straw tote for the beach, a cross-body and flats for brunch, and heels and a clutch for dinner.

The weekend before last, we headed North of the city to spend the day out on the Hudson River with friends and family on a boat. I wore this romper for the sunny, warm day and also brought a cardigan incase it got windy out on the boat. After off the shoulder dresses, rompers are my next favorite piece to wear this summer and this one is the perfect go-to. I kept my look for the boat casual with my fedora, a tote and these lace-up sandals, but know I can just easily dress this romper up for nighttime with some heels, a clutch and some jewelry.

I’ve been on a serious white kick lately and now I am having a serious obsession with blue and white. I’ve always liked the color combo, but lately I can’t get enough of it! It’s just so crisp and feels extra fresh for summer. Here are a few of my favorite blue and white pieces of the moment for everything from your wardrobe to your home!

Now that the Summer heat has set in, all I want to wear are breezy summer dresses all the time. This one from Club Monaco has been one of go-to dresses, so I wanted to find a way to make it more professional to wear for work. I added this black vest, that is such a good third piece item, and some gold accessories to create an overall polished look that’s comfortable for the summer heat.

Continuing with my love for white, I want to share this white lace up dress. I picked it up on a whim while browsing online and it has become my favorite dress as of late. The combination of its fringe edges, textured woven fabric, and lace up front elevate the dress and make it feel more expensive than it is.
