Growing up, my family always loved shopping for holiday outfits. They also loved matching my sisters and me. While I didn’t necessarily love the matching, I did love shopping with festive intentions, and often my favorite holiday to shop for was the Fourth of July. I loved picking out what I would wear to celebrate my nation’s freedom. So this year, get ready for your outfit to go off with a bang and shine bright like fireworks.

It's been well established on this blog that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has incredible style. Here, the model extraordinaire manages to put together a look that's both professional and on-trend. What I love about this look is that the blazer, t-shirt, jeans, pumps, and purse are all great staple items that can easily be mixed with other pieces in your closet. The light colors and fabrics say "summer," yet can still be reworked into outfits throughout the rest of the year. And that bag makes a fantastic work bag, year-round! Try the look for less with these affordable fashions priced from just $4 to $95.

With the summer music festival scene in full swing, boho-themed fashion trends are going mainstream. Make sure you’re up to date with these Coachella-inspired accessories that are subtle enough to wear everyday but still let the style shine through.

Welcome to Fashion Capsule! In this weekly segment, I'll show you how to style three items for an entire week’s worth of outfits. I'm a firm believer that the key factor in any stylish, but budgeted, wardrobe is recycling. It all begins with picking versatile items that can be worked into your existing wardrobe. This week, we'll be working with Lucluc's color block blue dress, Jessica Simpson’s espadrille wedges, and an H&M straw hat.
