Happy Monday friends and welcome to our 2nd Annual Red, White, Blue & You link up! Feel free to share your red, white & blue fashion, food and decor below! All in honor of the upcoming 4th of July!
Personally I love celebrating the birth of our great nation and while it’s not perfect I am proud to be an American. This year I decided to leave my decor up from Memorial Day so it almost feels like the Christmas season around my house (just a different color scheme!).

My tiered tray is filled with lots of sparkly doo dads from last year. Most were purchased at Michael’s. The cute straws are from my friend Heather’s Etsy shop, I purchased them last year. She has the cutest glittery and festive pieces – you should totally check out all of her goodies here.
We will be celebrating with our best friends! A cookout, some swimming, some games, and a few cocktails are all part of the plan. Nora Fleming makes some of the prettiest serving pieces and the minis are so festive. I am slowly growing my collection – I think these pieces make great gifts too so keep that in mind. It seems I often wonder what to get the person who has everything – these pieces would be ideal! Shop the collection on Amazon here.
While I hadn’t planned on buying a new outfit, one presented itself and who am I to say no to a great sale? These shorts (you saw them on Friday) had to find their way home with me because they are amazing – they are so well made – thick fabric and the fit is so flattering. This cute little peplum top? Yes, please. It looks great tucked or untucked!

Of course in all likelihood, I’ll spend a good portion of the day in this swimsuit! I love that the color is patriotic!

Let’s talk about accessories! How fun are these earrings? And so affordable! You get the whole set of six, I’m wearing a pair in the pictures above (with the red shorts) and I sent the others to my gal pals!

What are your plans for the 4th? I know this year will look a bit different than years past but I hope, if you live in the US, you do something special! All the days are worth celebrating, don’t waste your time waiting for the perfect conditions!
~It can Be Fashion, Food, Crafts, Decor, Flowers…anything goes old or new, as long as it’s Tried and True to the Red, White and Blue!!
