Friday Faves | Independence Day Sales

How is it already July?! Summer, slow down! Lately most of my weekends have been so busy, which I’m sure is the same for many of you. There always seems to be something going on in the summer months, whether it’s a family party, birthday or an event at work. I can’t wait to enjoy the long weekend and do nothing except relax, shop & celebrate the holiday with family and friends.

What are your plans Independence Day? I’m ready to finish off this workweek, so I can enjoy the sun and a cold beer. Luckily the weather is supposed to be great in Chicago; I hope the forecast looks just as good wherever you’re at, too! Whatever your plans are, I hope you have a fun and safe holiday weekend with whoever makes you happy!

And … speaking of happiness, have you seen all the sales going on in stores and online this weekend?! Because, let’s be honest, what would an American holiday without a few can’t miss deals? Shop all my faves below; which includes 50% off at Loft, one of the best stores for the 9-to-5 gal and my go-to for casual, summer looks, and 30% off at Shop Lombard & Fifth, they have the prettiest dresses. I’m currently swooning over this and can’t wait until this gets delivered.

I hope your weekend is full of everything you love! Have the best Fourth of July, friends, and of course, happy shopping! xAlex
