Why Did You Wear That: Baby, You’re a Firework

By Kirsten|July 4th, 2013|Personal Style|

This year’s Fourth of July couldn’t have fallen more perfectly on the calendar. A four day weekend? God bless, is right. This, however, led many to stress out over where they’d spend such a fortuitous long weekend. I couldn’t even begin to tell you where I was last year during the Fourth. I’ve given it a bit of thought, and I have zero recollection. Sadly, that has no correlation to the amount of fun that was had. The year before, I watched fireworks alone on my rooftop, simply because it was less frightening to hear the fireworks if I could actually see them. To be honest, fireworks scare me, but I also have an irrational fear of dragonflies, so it doesn’t hold much weight. I do, however, love the ol’ US of A despite all its flaws. I’ve never been one to wear a Christmas sweater or paint my face for a football game, but I do think it’s nice to give a patriotic nod to our great United States by adding a bit of red, white, and blue to your holiday ensemble– in a totally non-obvious manner, of course.

Setting the Mood: There Will Be Fireworks

By Kirsten|July 2nd, 2012|Setting the Mood|

Ever pick up the newspaper…. who am I kidding, who reads newspapers. Ever look at your Twitter newsfeed and after scanning the headlines think to yourself, “Dang it, I’m pretty psyched to be an American.”? Yeah, I think that sometimes too. Other times, I’m ready to flee the country, but today isn’t going to be one of those days. Today we are going to celebrate and channel all that is fabulous about the good ol’ U S of A… and find ways to wear it. That’s right, we are doing all things stars, stripes, blue, red, and white.

Back around Memorial Day, the trend of sporting patriotic style made its debut and seems that since then, being proud to be an American only became that much more on trend. Well, as it turns out, this week we commemorate our great country’s independence and I really can’t think of a better time to get your patriotism on.
