Ugh. I am stuffed. Stuffed, I tell you! So hard to roll out of bed this morning, after July 4th festivities. Still digesting black and blue steaks, spiral ham, pasta salad, brownies, oatmeal cookies, a fun kiddie party dessert called Striped Delight, and countless Chocolate Cake shots. Parties at the Hooligan’s parents’ house are always day/night long affairs of grazing. And lots of booze.
When you’re that buzzed, though, setting off fireworks with a devil-may-care attitude is that much easier.
Dressing for the occasion is fun, in a quirky, corny kinda way. But how can you resist when the colors red, white or blue look good on just about anyone?
Here, red takes center stage in a fun romper. Give this a try if red is your color. Happy 4th of July!
A frilly white dress with blue details makes a fresh statement at any 4th of July picnic. Silver sandals and a blue and red bag bring it all together. Give this a try if white is your color.
Happy 4th of July! Give this a try if blue is your color. Nothing spells good ‘ol Americana than a flirty striped dress with a circle skirt. The bold, blue striped beach bag and red flip flops make the look relaxed and backyard picnic-friendly.
I love the idea of using a fun, quirky piece as a basic. I’ve put this print dress to work in 3 different looks: errands day, beach picnic and lunch downtown. Click the picture to see!

I substituted peaches for apples in the
streusel cake recipe this morning. It was divine. Then the Hooligan fried up some sausage, sauteed some mushrooms and made hashbrowns. A hearty breakfast is only complete if you have dessert with it.
