Things I'm Loving - Fourth of July Weekend

As y'all know, tomorrow is America's birthday. In order to properly celebrate this wonderful occasion, you're going to need good food, cute clothes, and loads of other fun stuff. I've compiled what I'm loving at the moment and what you will need to ring in the Fourth in the best way possible!

Clothes

Let's start off by talking about what you're wearing. Naturally, it's going to include red, white, and blue.  If you're like me, this birthday celebration is going to last more than just one day. It's a whole weekend event. That means more clothes! Yay!

So naturally, you're going to need a killer outfit for the Fourth and fireworks. I suggest you begin with a pair of Americana shorts, like these from Karmaloop. They're on sale and serve the purpose since you probably will only be wearing these to patriotic events and socials back at school.

Now that you've got some shorts, I'd pair it with a cute crop top. If you're tan enough, make it white. It'll show off your glow perfectly. How adorable is the back of this one from Hope's? Let me tell you, it's majorly adorable. 

Get a cute America bow and you're good to go for the Fourth! If you want to go above and beyond, check out these American goodies that I'm loving:

Food

Now that you're looking hot (as always), let's focus on the food. Hopefully you'll be consuming some sort of barbecued meat, because that's the American way. We can leave that to Daddy and all the other wonderful men in our lives. Here's what you need to bring to your party to be the talk of the town.

Many of you are probably trying to diet over the summer. For you, I have a fantastic yet healthy option: dipped strawberries. Add a little Cool Whip and blue sprinkles and you're in for a delectable treat.

If you're someone who doesn't have to worry about what you consume and probably are stick thin despite eating everything in sight, I'm eternally jelly but I also have a delicious, fattening, life-changing dessert. 

Fourth of July themed M&M Blondies. Pure heaven. Just use red and blue M&Ms and follow these directions and your dessert will be a hit.

Miscellaneous 

Here are some other thing that you just have to have this weekend. J'adore. 

In case someone pushes you in a pool, you won't lose your phone with a Lifeproof case.

Every girl needs a sunhat, especially a Marley Lilly one.

You'll probably be drinking some beverages this weekend that you would prefer to be cold, so why not have a Lilly cooler?

Hope this helps y'all in having the best Fourth of July weekend yet! Stay safe and God bless America!
