Red, White, & Blue

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July, I know I did!! My holiday was spent with friends and family at a cookout, unfortunately it also included lots of rain. I feel like it has been raining for weeks now, we might just float away if it doesn't stop raining soon. My fourth of July look came from one of my favorite boutiques, Becky & Company.

As you can tell I was very festive with the color choice, the open sleeve made it perfect for the summer time because even though it was raining the humidity was not shy so the open sleeve kept me cooled off. I paired this top with a pair of my favorite jeans that I actually bought at Maurice's. There jeans are a good fit for a reasonable price. And to finish the look my favorite Carlos by Carlos Santana sandals that I love so much!

My family always has a great cookout for the 4th, or really any holiday and this year was no exception. Rain or shine we will always have a good time, and good food! We had grilled chicken, potato salad, baked beans, slaw, pineapple casserole, okra, chips and dip and every dessert imaginable, it was perfection!! I'm getting hungry all over again just typing it out. When you grow up with a family that is as close as mine fun times are going to happen and the memories and just waiting to be made.

 

 

What did you do for the 4th?

Did you watch a good firework show?



Bead Buzz

This past week was rather hectic for me due to the fact that my family went to New Mexico while I was left at home to take care of all the animals and work my normal job so forgive me for not being able to keep up with my post. That being said I am so excited for my little brother who finished 8th and 10th in the nation in two different events at the rodeo they went to. It took the 32 hours but they finally made it home yesterday morning. They were very tired to say the least but they brought home some great presents!!


Beads are big this summer as many of you already know, and I love it! The multicolored beads are great for any outfit and by far my favorite. I also love a great turquoise necklace, which is exactly what my dad picked out for me. It has a turtle on it which stands for mother earth and long life.

 

The next piece of jewelry is a bracelet that is so pretty because it has the turquoise beads but also the multicolored beads that make a diamond pattern. This could be work with anything and really on any occasion which is what I love.

 

Headbands are another really big trend right now so you can't go wrong with this multicolored headband. Also a tip for girls that rodeo this can also double as a hatband you just have to be a little bit more careful with your hat.

 

I saved my favorite accessory for last, earrings. If you don't want to wear any kind of jewelry you should at least wear a great pair of earrings. These are very neutral so they can work with any outfit.

 

Is your family going on any vacations this summer?

Do you like beaded jewelry?
