Red, White & Blue for Independence Day

Red, white, and blue are traditional summer colors, and the 4th of July is a fitting time to sport some new patriotic style.

Let’s start with wearing red:

• Red Door perfume from Elizabeth Arden
• A shiny red lip gloss, Bad Education, in a not-too-stick formula from Nars
• Paint your fingers and toes red with Keys to My Karma polish from the India Collection by OPI
• Tote around everything you need with a red domed duffle bag from Dooney & Bourke
• Give your outfit polish and shine with a pair of red patent flats from Nine West

And add something white:

• A bold V-shaped white jersey top with a drape that’s simple and sexy, from Ella Moss
• Keep a precise eye on the time with a white Juicy Couture watch embedded with Swarovski crystals
• Show off shapely fingers with a square white onyx statement ring from Bottega Veneta
• Protect your face and skin, and keep fashionably cool, with a white synthetic straw hat from Eric Javits
• Opt for a mysterious look with a pair of oversized white sun glasses from BVLGARI

Finally, the blue:

• A pair of dark wash denim crop pants is a classic staple for Independence Day and any time of year, from Nordstrom
• A bright cobalt blue scarf can be layered for warmth or tied around a purse, from Sak’s
• Let blue topaz and silver earrings from David Yurman dangle from your lobes, looking chic whether dressy or casual
• Tuck a blue L.A.M.B. wallet in your purse and keep essential organized and neatly at hand
• And just in case there’s rain in the forecast, a blue Tahari walking coat will keep you dry when the rain comes down
