The 4th According to my iPhone

On the 3rd there was a country concert with Justin Moore & fireworks after at the Waterfront on the Ohio River!

Started my 4th of July off right, at the gym. Then ended up with a cakepop becase it was the instructors birthday. At least I worked out for an hour, right? There should be a rule against your gym giving you sweets. {weakness}

  

Peer Pressure... we made 3pm whiskey and waters. 

Went to my parents for dinner and played cards with my Gran. She tried so hard, bless her heart. 

and this pie. oh em gee. YUM {raspberry & blackberry}

Went to a friends house that had tons of fireworks. {um I pretty sure I looked like a scared 3 year old hiding behind a car} 

Zzz.. got to sleep with this cute fella. {aww}

Fashion for the Fourth

You don't always have to go literal for holiday fashion. Keep is classy people. You can also venture out to different shades of the holidays colors. Take a risk!

ASOS Sunglasses - Fringe Necklace - Gold Belt - Madden Girl Sandals - Cutout Heart Ring - Anchor Chambray Shirt - Gap White Cut Off Shorts

Since nails are such a big deal these days, I thought I've give you some ideas! All you need is red, white, blue and a little sparkle!

DIY Father's Day Cards

Father's Day is this weekend!

Are you prepared? Do you have your gift wrapped and ready?
