Maybe it’s the extra long, extremely cold winters we have in New England, but there’s nothing that makes me quite as happy as Summer. The long sunny days, vacations at the beach, and, my favorite part, new fashion trends all take center stage.

I think for most people in the U.S., the July 4^th holiday really kicks off summer. So I couldn’t be more exited to celebrate this holiday next week!

And while at first I bet most people don’t think of July 4^th as a fashion-focused holiday, it definitely is! Red, white and blue colors come to life…coupled with star and stripe motifs for a look that just screams “Summer is here.”

So what should your July 4^th outfit look like? There are definitely a few options…

Heading to the beach or a casual BBQ with friends? Think tank tops with flags, cutoff shorts and red, white and/or blue bikinis.

Heading to a more upscale event? It’s the perfect time to break out your white pants with a blue or red striped top, or maybe a cute little July 4^th inspired sundress.

And what about accessories? Luckily, the perfect solution is something you can wear all year long – star inspired jewelry. Both timeless and fashionable, the diamond earrings and necklaces in our star themed Illa Collection are the perfect, sparkling additions to your July 4^th outfit.

What is your favorite Summer or July 4^th outfit?
