{ 4th of July Cuteness }

The 4th of July is THIS weekend! I just love the 4th of July, its hands down my favorite holiday. I came across some super cute red, white and blue ideas that I'd like to share....

{1} This adorable ruffle flag shirt from Make it and Love It.....you can find it here. I am seriously considering making one for myself...I mean your never too old to wear a ruffle flag shirt right?

{2} This delicious looking chocolate dipped pretzels....wouldn't they look so cute on your 4th of July bbq table in a cute little mason jar or such? This would be a great recipe to make with your kids also!

{ 3} These amazing looking red. white and blue tarts from Martha Stewart. I'm drooling just looking at the picture of these! Find the recipe here.

{4} Another Martha Stewart recipe...Vanilla Raspberry Sundaes w/ Spoon Shaped Cookies!

{5} Super cute red. white and blue decor! Look at those cute stars in the salad!

{6} And my favorite the perfect 4th of July cake! This one is from Make it and Love it as well as part of their new Make-A-Cake series. Super cute cake right?

And then SURPRISE! It's even cuter once you slice it!

I am for sure making this cake for this weekend! You can find out how she did it here.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July weekend!

Omigosh how I love these necklaces! I have been seeing them all over the blog world and these two have got to be my absolute favorites! Who is not loving the color combo with the yellow, teal and gray....♥♥♥. I have attempted this look with headbands and they came out pretty stinkin' cute so I am going to have to give these a try! Wish me luck! I'll post pictures if they turn out!
