4th of July Decorations

4th of July decorations

It’s hard to believe that we’re almost halfway through the year and that the 4th of July is less than a month away. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, spending the long weekend at the beach, or by the lake here are few of my favorite 4th of July decorations for your home. If you’re planning to spend the day outside grilling with friends and family this rattan cooler basket is perfect for storing drinks and you could line these wire trays with parchment for a cute and fun way to serve burgers and hot dogs.

J.Crew New Arrivals

J.Crew New Arrivals are here and the summer collection this year is so good. They brought back a few of the bestsellers from last year like this ruched one-shoulder bathing suit (super happy that it comes in long torso too) and this lightweight beach sweater. While adding some new pieces like this gorgeous striped pullover and this knit cardigan sweater. So whether you’re shopping for lightweight sweaters that are perfect for summer to cute coverups to wear to the pool or beach these are some of my favorite pieces.

Serena & Lily Memorial Day Sale Favorites

Serena & Lily has been my absolute favorite home brand for years. All of their furniture and home decor are thoughtfully designed and well-made. The subdued coastal vibe somehow works everywhere, even in our 19th century Chicago home, and it easily elevates any space while still feeling relaxing and lived in. We absolutely adore all of the pieces in our home from Serena & Lily like our bed frame, jute rug, the chests in the girls’ bedrooms, and so much more. It perfectly complements the traditional style of our house but infuses a bit of happiness, too. I can’t speak more highly of the products in terms of quality. It’s truly off the charts, and we know that everything we have from the company will be in our home for the long haul.

The Serena & Lily Memorial Day Sale is a wonderful time to save big on small or large home purchases you’ve been considering. Serena & Lily is offering 20% off everything (including sale!) with the code SPLASH through 5/31. You can shop my favorites by room / category below.
