How We Style It - 4th of July
 |
| via |
Now, I obviously love a good hometown 4th (a rager at someone's parents' house, where everyone brings delicious food that their moms obviously made for them, beer pong, and sparklers), but I'm actually a little excited to celebrate the 4th in Newport this year. Let me tell you a little story. Last 4th of July, Ben had to work nights all weekend (he's in his medical residency), and we really hadn't made friends in Newport yet. And the area where we live, Balboa Peninsula, is party city over the weekend of the 4th. And our neighbor with whom we share a garage went out of town and let his late teens-early 20's cousin stay at their place, and said cousin promptly commenced a 5 day binge with 50 of his closest (and most annoying) friends. Let's just say, I was not in a good head space.
This year is going to be totally different - for starters, Ben's not working, and oh yeah, we have an awesome group of friends now! Julia and I got in the spirit of the holiday and put together some options for how to style our red, white, and blue! Enjoy and let us know what you're planning on wearing for wherever your festivities may take you!
