Fashion Dilemma for 4th of July weekend

The big weekend is coming up, with BBQ, beach days, and fun gatherings amongst friends and colleagues. The big question on my mind and many of my readers is what am I going to wear? Don't fret my pets as I have come up with some fabulous suggestions that won't break the bank so you can enjoy a few more ribs and summer cocktails ;)


Tunics have been a huge staple this year. Even top designers are on the wagon such as Matthew Williamson with his St. Tropez inspired line for HM. Tunics are great for any shape and truly show off some of your best assets. If you don't have curves, not to worry, neither do I. I found an easy solution by adding a belt to give a little more shape to the silhouette. To take this look from day to night, add a great pair of nude heels and change your hair to an up do (messy chignon or twist) keeping in mind that the look is not meant to be polished. Great for tresses that have been in the sun all day...



Maxi dresses are every women's best friend. Regardless of your shape, this sleek design is an easy go to outfit with out thinking too much about it, our time is valuable ladies. Best to spend it doing something fun and interesting, not staring into your closet. Grab and go ladies!! It's all about the accessories. Think big flimsy hats, metallic sandals, and big bangles for the day time. To transition to evening, add a cropped jacket, a big scarf, hooped or dangle earrings with a chunky necklace and your off to meet your girlfriends for cocktails.

Remember, have fun this 4th of July and be safe.

Event planning

Creating a final look with your color scheme can sometimes be a bit tricky. The room should showcase your personal style rather than draw too much attention to specifics. A few examples to accentuate a color for table settings can be something as simple as using a ribbon to tie the napkins. If your budget permits, using a sheer table topper such as organza or lace in the themed color or chargers (aka plate liners) can give the added touch to bring your theme together. Below are a few examples of simple and elegant ways to tie in your color theme with table settings. Enjoy!
