Last year the Fourth of July was rained out and we were gearing up for our trip to Europe, so to say I wasn’t really thinking of BBQ’s and parties would be an understatement. This year however is a different story – we have a three day weekend ahead and a fun BBQ to attend, so what to wear is at the top of my list this week!
// If I really don’t want to think about my outfit, this nautical romperis perfect for the weekend!
// I have been loving off the shoulder pieces and this Vince Camutoone is no exception – I actually like that it’s a bit longer because I’m willing to bet it wont be as warm as we think it will be in Boston and I’ll end up wearing jeans!
//What I’ll never tire of are big floppy hats and this blue straw one is perfect if you are planning to head to the beach!
// The intricacy on this blouse is so pretty and there is just a hint of floral in the embroidered pattern
// While I am not going to be sporting the American flag in any of my clothing, I think these sunglasses are so fun and for only $12 totally worth it! I mean I can think of at least two holiday’s to wear them!
//When in doubt just add a bold red lip and you’re good to go! My favorite is Pomegranate by Bite Beauty! Without a doubt the most flattering red color for almost all skin tones!
Bringing something for the host is a must – it doesn’t have to break the bank, but showing your thanks for the invite and for them opening their home to you is always best and most appreciated!
// You can pull a Ramona Singer and bring your favorite bottle of wine to share with the hosts – my favorite is Relax Riesling! You can also add a special touch to the wine bag by adding a really cutewine tag.
//With that bottle of wine bring some cute napkins like this pack of 20 from Swoozies.
//Bring something pre-made is always a nice touch. This red, white and blue salad is perfect because you can make it the morning of the event and it wont spoil!
//It’s pretty likely that you’re headed to a BBQ this holiday weekend, so treat the host to some grilling rub! I’m 100% sure they’ll be excited to add a little something extra to their grilling repertoire.
//Headed to a pool party – bring this donut floatie that you have seen everywhere!! I actually didn’t realize it was only $15!!
What are your plans for the Fourth of July? Do you already know what you’ll be wearing?
I want to be at dinner by the water in that first pick!!! We are headed to our favorite beach town up North for our annual family vacation! So excited. I think I need those doughnut floaties for our teens! Lol. I know I will want to wear that red off the shoulder for sure! š Heres to BBQ's and celebrating America!!

That pool donut is the cutest thing! And I still need to try that Relax wine!
Obessed over your 4th inspiration! So many cute things! I totally had a bottle of Relax over the weekend, one of my favs! And you totally know how I feel about that donut float haha!
I am loving all of your picks for the 4th!! It's making me want a hot dog real bad. (Clearly a Legally Blonde reference!!!) I will be at the beach on the 4th with my Peanuts float from Target and lots of grilled fish. Mmmm
That romper is perfection. And wow those wine tags are so cute. I've never seen those before! What a perfect gift that would be. Stealing that idea š
I love the blouse and your gift ideas! The donut is so cute, but I want one of those big swans lol. I think it would take up a lot of room in my parents pool though lol. I think I'm going to bring jello cupcakes to Marc's Aunt's party on the 4th. xo
Fourth of July, yayyy! Can't believe it's here- but it's always such a fun holiday. LOVE that off-the-shoulder top; such a stunner!

Post twinning today š Your hostess girls ideas are such great ideas! You know how I feel about Relax!! My fave. I think it;s going to be chilly here too so that off the shoulder top would be perfect!
Great post and great choices. How exciting about all of your plans!!
The romper is cute but the off the shoulder red top is perfect. Relax Riesling is a great hostess gift! Hope the weather is nice for the weekend!
Mark and I were just talking about what we are going to do this weekend since it's the birthday weekend and 4th of July. I picked up the cutest headband for the festivities so seeing what to wear it with. You definitely have a ton of picks! Meet @ the Barre-How To Style a Chambray Shirt

Those wine tags are too cute! And can we talk about how much I still want that donut raft?! Looking forward to the long holiday weekend for sure š

I'm so glad you mentioned hostess gifts! I feel like that's an art that's being lost, and it's so nice and thoughtful! You listed some great options.
That salad looks amazing! I may have to make it!

Loooove your picks!! I adore the 4th and look forward to it each year, but this year I'm bummed because we will be celebrating without Eric. He has to work and we will visit family š but I'm excited to celebrate with Mia!
I keep seeing the donut floatie and it's cracking me up! I love all the red, white, and blue! I'm a sucker for July 4th and fireworks!!
Love that embroidered blouse! The romper is cute too.

I'll be in Maui for the 4th! Eeek! I simply just cannot wait. š
LOL @ being Ramona Singer! Also, I had no idea those cute donut floats were only $15 either. Now if only we had our backyard pool back…
Great picks, I want that doughnut float haha. We have some cute stars and stripes pieces at work which I'm guessing are going to sell out this week… š Love that off the shoulder top, so cute. I have to work on the 4th until 5:00 and we don't have any plans. Kind of depressing… :-/ Oh well we'll see what happens!! Have a great day today lady!!
This is a great roundup! I don't think you can go wrong with any of your makeup/clothing choices and host gifts. We will be at Ryan's family's lake house for the weekend, so I'll just be living in my bathing suit!
How perfect is that nautical romper for this weekend?! Love the cute cocktail napkins too! I cannot believe the 4th is this weekend! Where is summer going?!

If you live near a Five Below, you can get the float for $5! That's where I got mine. Love the inspo! I love the 4th š
I love red white & blue… so classic.
I NEED – like NEED – those aviators
That donut float is so adorable. I didn't realize it was only $15 so cheap. I hope the weather is better than they say it will be. Not looking so good, right now.
I love that pool float – so cute! I really need to figure out what to wear this weekend. We're going to a golf tournament, but are also camping in a tent. Definitely need something that can transition pretty easily.
I have really been wanting an off the shoulder top lately but haven't found the perfect one. Love the one you picked out, the color is just perfect for the fourth! Also, that romper is so freaking cute!

Ahh, so many pretty things! I'll be lucky if I can even get some color-coordinated nail polish to happen before this weekend š
Great inspo pics. I want to sit down for a dinner by the ocean in that exact table. I don't mind even if it was with strangers lol.
I've seen that doughnut floaty and want one so bad, haha! And bringing wine is always a must for me. Great inspiration girl!
This is great! Hope you'll stop by my blog for my latest post! It's a skin care post!

That romper is adorable!!! I love your lists. Happy almost 4th!!
Great pictures, especially that romper! And I love those wine tags! xoxo
I wish I had the bravery to try that nautical romper! I think I'll be in leggings and a tank top on the 4th after 14 hours of driving through middle America!
So fun! I can't wait to float in a pool on the fourth, on a donut would be nice.
That donut floaty is awesome! I love all of your ideas and inspiration:)
Those flag sunnies are so cute! And I'm really wishing I could down that bottle of Relax š We had just closed on our house last 4th, so we were super busy painting and moving and didn't get to enjoy it. We are headed to my in-law's lake house this year and I am so ready for some R 'n R!

I am obsessed with the navy floppy hat! Those napkins are adorable ā I love little touches like that! Iām on the same page as you haha I had no idea that float Iād been seeing everywhere was only $15!!
Ann Taylor romper and the donut inner tube – that's all I need for a perfect 4th weekend!!
I'm definitely buying that pool float for my parents pool! So cute and so much less expensive than others I've seen!

So excited for this weekend!! I'm dying over that romper – I wish so badly I had time to get it before Saturday! And I've been seeing that Vince Camuto off the shoulder shirt everywhere, I think it's time to pull the trigger before it's completely sold out!!
Cute off the shoulder top and I already have those same sunnies ready for the holiday weekend! Enjoy your BBQ party!
I love this 4th of July inspiration! Hope you're having a great week, Biana!

those wine tags are to die for. would be so cute at my bachelorette!
I definitely thought those pool floaters were more expensive too! They are so cute and I see them everywhere! Oh how I wish we had a pool for that reason. Even if we'd only be able to use it for 3-4 months of the year.
I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed those glasses, they are so fabulous! and I LOVE that off the shoulder top, so perfect for the season! Great picks, as always, lady!
I NEED that off the shoulder top…I love it! My wedding dress is off the shoulder, and it's one of my most favorite things about it! My friend got me the donut floatie for Christmas and I think I'm going to break it out this weekend š
So I may have gone a little crazy last weekend and purchased three 4th inspired outfits just for this weekend. But hey, they aren't sooo over board that I can't wear them all summer long. (; Let's hope this weekend is actually sunny!
I love how into the 4th you guys get!! Seriously love it! Those sunnies are super cute š
