Fourth of July is offically my favorite holiday {after Thanksgiving} because it's usually filled with BBQ's, casual entertaining, cocktails, the beach and time spent with friends and family, which I love. As I gear up for the long weekend here are a few things on my radar: 

How cute and easy are these dessert skewers? And, for the kiddos these popsicles are so adorable.

This straw tote is a no-brainer {and less than $40}. 

I really want to try this cocktail and here is a great guide to some of the best rosé {perfect for the beach}.

A simple cucumber salad would make for an easy side dish. 

And, if you missed this post here is a fun, and easy, centerpiece and some summer tablescape tips. 

As you pack-up your weekender  {on sale plus an extra 40% off}for the long weekend, here are all my favorite red, white and blue pieces. Most are also on sale, which is a bonus.
