Fashion Holiday Special: Fourth of July

Happy 4th of July to all of our bk&leo friends!  It’s time to salute the birth of our nation, celebrate over hot dogs and corn on the cob, and watch the fireworks with our family and friends. Many of us have travel plans for the weekend, heading to a beach or lake to unwind and relax. We here at bk&leo are always looking for ways to pack the most amount of style into our suitcases without needing a bodybuilder to haul our bags for us – and versatile jewelry can help you clear out some much needed suitcase space. So for a star spangled weekend of fun and fashion, why not bring along a pair of the ever-versatile ‘Cold Out There’ earrings in yellow gold with diamonds. The earrings, which evoke one of the thirteen stars for which independence was so bravely fought, work equally well for those beach days as they do for your 4th of July parties and heading back to work on Monday morning…

For the beach: Any 4th of July weekend that begins on the beach, at a lake or on a boat is right up our alley! A red bikini will bring a little holiday sizzle, and gold studded white sandals will add some rock ‘n’ roll sophistication. Jewelry shouldn’t be neglected for a day in the sun and the ‘Cold Out There’ earrings will add just enough glam sparkle to your look. Grab your (or your boyfriend’s) favorite oversized white oxford shirt as your cover-up and sunglasses before heading out the door.  And don’t forget to bring a bag large enough to pack the essentials – beach towel, sunscreen, your current read and a cute hoodie to toss on when the sun goes down but you stay out!

Beach

For the party:  After a day on the beach and for BBQs, nothing is better than keeping things relaxed yet still chic. Accessories, like the ‘Cold Out There’ earrings, can elevate casual white shorts and a navy chambray button-up shirt from sit-on-the-couch casual to fireworks-and-bonfire cool. Keep your feet comfortable with some boat shoes and your hands free for marshmallow roasting with a red cross-body bag.

(Of course, if you are feeling extra patriotic, a custom bk&leo 4th of July hand jewelry is a perfect addition to either holiday look. Check out our Instagram giveaway, follow @monicahues and @bkandleojewelry and repost today’s photo to win!)

BBQ

For the office:  After a full weekend spent enjoying the beach and cocktails with friends set to a backdrop of fireworks, it’ll be time to head to the office Monday morning.  What better way to show off the sunkissed glow you just earned than by sporting a flattering white dress, razor-sharp heels and a buttery-soft nude purse.  Capture that summer glimmer and bring it indoors with your ‘Cold Out There’ gold earrings shown off by pulling your hair half-back.  Top it off with some red lip gloss and you have yourself a polished office look.  We can certainly get on board with Monday morning when we are feeling refreshed and put-together!
