4th of July Lookbook

June 27, 2018 · In: Fashion, Spring & Summer

Oh look… Jayme once again not being consistent with blog posts, what else is new?

The 4th of July is less than a week away! Can anyone else not believe how quickly June has gone by? I’m kinda sad that summer is basically 1/3 over! But there is nothing I love more than the Americana trend that comes around every summer. If it is red, white, and/or blue, I NEED IT! Wayyy too much of my closet consists of these colors. Navy is most definitely my favorite neutral. But I have found four fun 4th of July outfits that are simple to recreate. And never underestimate the power of red lipstick when it comes to making an outfit patriotic.

As always I’ll link everything I can find (or something similar) under each description!

Outfit #1

So when I found this Lilly Pulitzer Cherry Bomb Firecrackers skirt at my local Style Encore, I HAD to have it! I couldn’t believe I had finally found one of the coveted Lilly patriotic prints. I can only hope one day that Lilly once again comes out with patriotic prints as fun as their old ones. I will definitely be rocking this on the 4th! I paired it with a Lilly ruffled top, can’t go wrong with a white top during the summer! As for accessories I went with simple pearl studs, platinum Jack Rogers, and of course a red lip!

Outfit #2

While this next outfit is a little more dressy, I think it would be perfect for the 4th at a country club, yacht club, or even a 4th of July wedding! (Have you been to a 4th of July wedding? I have and it was amazing.) My red, white, and blue gingham dress is from Brooks Brothers. It has a gorgeous embroidered detail at the bottom and is just a great dress to have for a special occasion during the summer. I of course had to wear a strand of pearls with this, it really pulls it together. I once again wore Jacks with this, this time in silver. They really are the perfect summer shoe!

Outfit #3

So one of my biggest struggles is that I have an abundance of blue in my closet, but not a lot of red. Do you struggle with this? Fear not! Have some nautical accessories? Some metallics? White bottoms? A red lipstick? Any/all of these can be paired with blue and, in my opinion, instantly look patriotic! This navy blue top from Brooks Brothers has a fun embroidered detail (it can’t really be seen in the photo unfortunately) and paired perfectly with this gold chain link pave necklace (purchased from Target ages ago). Some white denim shorts from J.Crew and some Jacks really pulled it together. Yes, I am wearing silver shoes with gold jewelry… What can I say? I love metal mixing!

Outfit #4

This outfit has to be my favorite! And if I didn’t live in Florida, where it’ll probably be 100 degrees on the 4th, I would totally wear it! Would you believe me if I told you this ADORABLE red gingham peplum tank was from Walmart? Yes, you heard that right, WALMART. Not to mention it was under $12, and they sell it in black gingham and blue stripes. Also want to mention that for the first time in my life I found white jeans that actually fit me… Am I the only one that has issues with finding white jeans that fit? They are also from Walmart, but I will warn you I had to size up 2 sizes from my normal jean size. I’m normally a 4 and these are an 8. My long necklace my Mom made for me, my blue earrings (that can barely be seen due to my dark hair) are from BaubleBarxTarget. And what would a summer outfit be without Jacks?

I hope you guys enjoyed looking through my 4th of July look book! I hope you got some inspiration for your 4th of July outfits. Also, have fun celebrating the freedom we have being here in the USA. Make sure to leave me a comment with what you would like to see next and let me know what your favorite outfit is!

xoxo Jayme

While this Christmas photo looks different than pl While this Christmas photo looks different than planned this year, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas surrounded by peace and love🫶🏼

My prayer is that next year brings the blessings we hoped and prayed for this year, whether those things are big or small.

I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @mo I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @morganjuliadesigns brand new Jersey City location on our way home from NYC🫶🏼 This only added about 20min to our trip which was well worth it!🪡 Such a beautiful shop with so many great canvases👏🏼

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅
