Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!

Hey, y'all! I hope you had a great 4th of July holiday. I know I did! Here's a snapshot overview of my Wednesday experience. I had the time of my life, and couldn't help but be proud to be an American on our Independence Day!

Sunglasses: Gucci, Shirt: Target (2011), Shorts: Wet Seal (2010), Bag: JustFab.com.

I absolutely LOVE the Fourth of July. I don't know if it was because of the pool parties and beach bonfires I attended on the patriotic holiday growing up in California, but something makes my die-hard American spirit kick up during July. I MUST dress in red, white, and blue, and it must be fashionable. I pieced together the outfit above the day before, but something wasn't right about it, until... 

Hat: Target, Necklace: Dollar Tree

I found this trendy straw fedora hat at Target while picking up some last minute pool party items, and I was sold! The tan and white stripes on the ribbon make it easy to accessorize with any brown-based outfit, and the dark blue base was just what I needed to complete my Fourth of July outfit. I was and still am overly excited pleased with my festive ensemble.

I enjoyed a festive day in Dallas, TX, complete with lounging in the pool, BBQ'ing steak kabobs and corn-on-the-cob, catching a drink in the evening, and enjoying the fireworks display and appetizers on a rooftop patio.
 A cutely decorated house I saw on our walk over to the rooftop restaurant/bar.
 I was lucky enough to enjoy the company of this handsome fellow all day.
What could make an already fun-filled day even better? The fact that I got to celebrate my first 4th of July with Joe as a couple. He thinks I'm silly, but I love to count all the "firsts" in our relationship, each holiday (no matter how big or small) included. What girl doesn't?

I hope your Independence Day was just as much of a blast as mine was!

XOXO,

Sarah B Texas

      And I know, that last picture of Joe and me is a mix of 70's vintage and gossip girl book covers! Haha :-)

    1. Thank you, Jennifer! I fell in love with the hat when I was playing around and half-jokingly trying on all the other ridiculous hats at Target. Then my boyfriend stopped dead in his tracks and said, "I actually like that one... no, seriously."

      Glad to know I'm not the only hopeless romantic that appreciates all the firsts! :-)

    1. Thank you so much! The Shiner Ruby Redbird is possibly my FAVORITE summer time beer. If you've ever had and enjoyed natural, organic ginger beer, you would like the taste of this beer. It's got a kick of ginger and grapefruit in it, giving it both a citrus and tangy taste. I love it both in the bottle or poured into a glass with a grapefruit wedge!

    1. Hey Brooke! Thank you for the compliments. I've gotta hand the sweet firework shots to my DSLR Canon Rebel. It always helps me out!

      It's good to know so many other gals celebrate all the firsts, and that I'm not just a TOTAL sap, haha!

      Thanks for stopping by :-)
