Your 4th of July Packing List
posted on July 2, 2014 | by Amanda Holstein
It’s time to get packing! Fourth of July weekend is just around the corner. Hot dogs, watermelon, sparklers, fireworks…gotta love a good ol’ Amurrrican celebration. But putting together the perfect packing list can be overwhelming, even for a short trip! I’m definitely one to get festive for the Fourth, but who says festive can’t be stylish? The key is to stick to variations of red, white, and blue – modern prints and shades of the trio. Every girl also needs the perfect weekender bag that’s chic, versatile, and carries it all. I’m in love with this one from ASOS!
Now let’s make sure you pack enough for the 3 days without going overboard. You need to make sure everything fits in that lovely bag, right? I suggest choosing versatile pieces and sticking to a color palette that allows you to mix and match (in this case red, white & blue, of course!). Here’s what I recommend for the perfect weekend packing list:

I am in love with the blade swimsuit. I think the bustier top is uber flattering. And the weekender bag is a great suggestion. They are the perfect size for a weekend away and they keep me from packing too much haha
