Friday's Fancies: Memorial Day

I am always one to jump at an opportunity to rock a red, white and blue palette, so Memorial Day is no exception.

While it is disgusting, rainy and cold here in Boston, I will be in Maui for Memorial Day this year (once I ACTUALLY get to fly out, 24 hours late). These are some warm-weather friendly options.

J.Crew dress / J.Crew tank top / AG Adriano Goldschmied embroidered jeans / Marc Fisher high heel sandals / KORS Michael Kors strappy sandal / Coach leather crossbody handbag / Rachel Zoe hinged bangle bracelet / IBB yellow gold earrings / C. Wonder anchor necklace / J. Mclaughlin belt / Essie Come Here


From a daytime BBQ to a night rooftop soiree, all with the same accessories: easy peasey.

Linking up with {long distance loving}, per usual. 

What's your go-to Memorial Day ensemble?

Red, White and Blue-spiration

This is probably going to be the first of many similar posts about the upcoming holiday, as it is one of my favorites. What could be better than outdoor day drinking, grilling, celebrating our freedom, fireworks - and of course, one of my favorite color palettes!

When I got this week's Revel email (if you don't know Revel, you absolutely HAVE to check it out and sign up!), I completely bypassed the feature moodboard (it was ombre pink, so you know this is serious) in hopes that there would be some July 4 eye candy. I was right - and it did NOT disappoint.

I mean, uh-maze. I wish I had a backyard SO badly to throw a festive, patriotic soiree this year (damn city living), but I will have to settle with some sparklers on my deck, accompanied by the "red, white and blue salsa" comprised of blueberries, strawberries, jicama and a little jalapeno and cilantro - YUM.

What are your plans for the fourth?
