Stars & Stripes

When thinking of a look for the 4th July for some reason I always refer to festival wear.  I imagine care free people dancing & drinking in front of a stage to Sweet Home Alabama until the sun goes down & the fireworks begin. 

I am kind obsessed with this patriotic cut off shorts, they look super comfortable & easy to wear for the day.  Seen as they make a statement I opted for a comfy tee & a wrist full of bracelets to finish the look. 

This was my first official 4th of July as a citizen so I added a little nail art to my day, although it looked a little more wonder woman rather than American in the end. 

Oh well, I tried.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.  I am off to watch the X Factor auctions in North Carolina this weekend!  Not sure what to expect but hopefully its fun!

Don't forget to stop by and see the other looks at {longdistanceloving} today!

Spring Break

My life for the last few weeks has been filled with travel & non stop working, my head is still spinning, I can't keep up. Each day I think about my blog posts then I get home for the night & exhaustion sets in :(

Friday Fancies is always my favorite post of the week so I felt it fitting for my return be today. I linked up with {av} & put together a few pieces I would take on Spring Break.

I am more of city girl when it comes to vacations.  I love museums, fabulous restaurants, the typical tourist spots mixed with local treasures.  However, a week in the sun sounds amazing right now so here's a few things I would pack.

Cute shorts would be a must for those casual beach & shopping days paired with a loose tank.  Paris has a piece of my heart so this slightly cheesy top caught my eye.  Of course flips flops & a tote are essential, cake for breakfast?  Sounds like the perfect vacay treat, no?

I also love versatile, effortless dresses for trips & this light pink is perfect for dinner & dancing without going over the top!

In other news, what do you think of my new header?  I worked with Michelle from Sweet Musings Paperie & I am in love with it!!!  Her illustrations are adorable & she is amazing to work with.  Go see her blog here!

Happy Friday Ladies, I am going to spend a lot of time working on my blog & hopefully I won't disappear again.
