So glad to report red, white and blue are flying proud & high this season.  I have found lots of glossy magazine pages chock full of our nations colors.  It is a Presidential election year, one that has brought about hope & revitalized our country’s heritage, so I am embracing this as a reason to break out the patriotic colors.

There is so much we can do with the red, white and blue! 

1.   For starters think feet.  Canvas sneakers in any of those colors are a staple in a spring/summer wardrobe from kids to adults.  The classic & comfy ballet flat in red, white or blue works to dress up or down almost anything in my closet. If you want to take if up a notch, check out the ‘Stars Sandals’ in Marc by Marc Jacobs collection at Saks Fifth Avenue  www.saksfifthavenue.com – so much fun. 

2.   Next up, accessorize with big white bangles or sunglasses.  Need I mention a great red tote or blue and white strip beach bag?

3.   Some ideas for outfitting ourselves: 

  • A great white cotton sweater in most any style is a fresh, sophisticated look for summer. 
  • Blue jeans paired with white shirts and red sneaks or even blue canvas sneaks.
  • A Red Sundress.

Get ready for summer and the 4th and have fun with some Americana Style!  To round our your red, white, and blue wardrobe check out Ralph Lauren’s White Polo shirt with the American Flag.
