JULY: Patriotism, heat, sunshine, sweet treats, pool days, love. Where do all of the summer days go? I’m always looking ahead know that August will bring many changes, both professionally and personally. I hope you’re summer has been a great one!
^^ My 4th of July outfit… minus (I’m not going to lie!) the shorts. I had to trade them in forthese white jeans because it got so chilly! J. Crew Factory top (on sale) // J. Crew Factory shorts (on sale) // Target sandals (under $20 and come in 4 colors) // Essie nail polish in “She’s Pampered” // Revlon Matte Balm in “Audacious” // MAC Lipstick in “Lady Danger” (one of my faves for summer!)

^^ Our first Upper Arlington 4th of July Parade, celebrating my BFF and her husband’s housewarming party! Lucky ducks – they have a spot right on the parade route! I foresee many more 4th of Julys spent here with friends and family and that makes me happy!
