Seeing Stars and Stripes

Lezbionest. Independence Day has become some sort of Fashion Holiday it seems... alongside the sea of green on St. Patrick's Day and the hippie-outbreak at Coachella. Gone are the days of throwing on your red bikini from 5 years ago underneath a ratty t-shirt you picked up on Spring Break 1999 in Key West. Oh no. It seems our style expectations of the red, white and blue have gone up... along with our American pride. Whatever your style may be, it's all about individuality and freedom - which is what this country is all about! Whether you're beachside, lakeside, poolside or even grillside... We've got something for you to show off your patriotic spirit!

From flirty dresses and cute tops to casual cutoffs and swimwear, the options are endless this 4th of July! I love how the American flag is incorporated onto just about anything- even denim vests (I want to wear the one pictured below year-round!).

Get the Look: Tribal

Tribal print isn't anything new in the fashion world. We have all seen it before and yet it keeps popping up in all of the latest trends of the season. I guess that means it is here to stay -  and I'm doing a mini-tribal happy dance in my head about it. There is something about the rich patterns and beautiful colors that I (and the rest of the world) just can't seem to get enough of. You see it on skirts, dresses, shorts, bags- you name it, it's tribal. 

Sometimes trends can seem a little tired and overused, but not this one. I think it keeps coming back because of it's ability to wear in so many different ways and styles. You can find the print in vibrant shades if you are into bright colors (like me, as you can tell in one of my earlier posts), subtler hues of pastels for a lighter look, or even rich and darker tones that will make a bold statement and an outfit instantly pop. 

Get the look from two of my style favorites, Katie and Kim:
