"It will be celebrated...with pomp and paradebonfires and illuminationsfrom one end of this continent to the other"-John Adams (1735 - 1826) - on 4th of July Celebrations




Barbecues, apple pie, fireworks, parades and fun with family and friends is around the corner. Celebrating the United States of America Fourth of July Independence Day is always an exhilarating and exciting time.  Laughter, traditions and fireworks displayed across the darkened skies symbolizes our freedoms across the glorious land.  Whether boating, hiking, swimming or on a backyard deck it is essential to be patriotic.  So - just what to wear? Well, of course,  the hues of the day are red, white and blue capturing the honored flag while dancing through the dazzling festivities.  Here are some favorites to snap up before July 4, 2017!



The Parade Marching Top










I. Star Spangled Tee:   Finding a fitting shirt for the special holiday can be daunting. However,  any red, white or blue piece is firework spectacular combined with white jeans, shorts or capris.   Sometimes finding a red, white and blue striped number spells victory.   Otherwise, improvise with the colors on hand and be ready to display freedom with honor.

  Wild, Wacky, Winter  Image by  kristamonique  from  Pixabay "Winter is approaching spring. Such a glorious time.  New beginnings."  The weather this winter has been insane across the land.  Warm weather moments, cold winds creating havoc, rain downpours, snow swirling, fires burning the south and basically a topsy-turvy landscape.  Everyday there is a new weather report causing chaos.  Along the way, our skin becomes dry, flakey and red.  Lately I have learned a few skincare tips that enlighten.   Before I discuss the benefits of C.O. Bigelow hand lotion, here are my tips: If You Want Good Skin Foam or Gel Cleanser: Never use a foam cleanser on your skin.  Too drying.  Always gel.  Department Store Moisturizers: Do not bother with high end moisturizers at a department store.  Choose gentle formulas like CeraVe,  Cetaphil or Vanicream.    Foundation with SPF: Never use a foundation with SPF mixed in and think you are protected.  You will think you have enough SPF sunscre

  Summer Sunshine Photo by  pawel blazewicz  on  Unsplash "The joy of dressing is an art." - John Galliano Summer is almost here.  I am reminded of Christmas when retrieving my summer apparel from the depths of my closet. I have forgotten all the beautiful pieces that I own.  These presents signal sunshine, barbeques, laughter, reading on the deck and much more.  You know what I am discussing. Sun dresses, shorts, bathing suits and everything light and airy for hot days.  Such joy! What am I obsessed with right now?  Well, a button down blue and white striped shirt!  A definite classic piece for your wardrobe.  These sail away hues symbolize a timeless choice for work, play or used as beach cover up.   The blue and white stripe shirt is second to the ever classic white shirt. The way to wear the shirt is to tuck in one side and leave the other side out. Or make a knot at bottom of top over. Wear with jeans, shorts and sandals.  Add a pair of gold earrings and a swipe of a red

  Anything Lily - Lily Pulitzer That Is! "Being happy never goes out of style." - Lily Pulitzer Liquid sunshine is in vogue.   I love Lily Pulitzer dresses for spring and summer. I have several and wear them repeatedly.  The fabrication, fit and joyful prints are exceptional.  Envision wearing it on vacation or on the veranda enjoying a cocktail.   This Del Rey Stretch Shift Dress in tropical yellow is simply timeless.  Match with gold sandals, gold earrings and a touch of pink on the lips.  The outcome is sunshine magic.  Who doesn't want a little yellow fairy dust sprinkled on them? Who is Lily Pulitzer - You Ask? Pulitzer, an American entrepreneur in the 1950's, living a socialite life in Palm Beach, suddenly found herself at a loss of what to do next.  After all, you can only party and travel for so long before boredom sets in. She and her husband owned several orange groves in Florida. With her ingenious mind, she decided to open a fruit stand squeezing oranges
