The 4th of July weekend is here! This means tons of 4th of July sales and deals on designer fashion, and stylish items, for the summer season. Love!
I have rounded up all of the most fabulous sales and deals on the Internet for the 4th of July weekend. This is the perfect time to save big for summer. All of these sales and deals end at midnight on July 4, 2017 unless otherwise noted.
You can click on the store name, and you will be taken right to the sale! I hope you love it!
The Real Real: Save up to 70% off designer must-have’s.
Happy shopping! This is the best time to stock up for the summer season. Pretty soon, stores will start stocking fall clothing, so if you still need things for summer, they will be more difficult to find. So shop now! I’m grabbing everything I need for summer now before fall floods the shops!
Enjoy the sales! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
On Wednesday night, Hotel Valencia at Santana Row in San Jose, threw their summer kick-off soiree featuring their famous Poptails. The event was intimate, and included a live DJ, photo booth, passed appetizers, and of course, Poptails!
Hotel Valencia featured three of their famous Poptails at the event. There was Strawberry, Mango, and an Island mixture. I enjoyed Mango and Strawberry, while my husband tried the Strawberry and Island. They were all delicious! Who doesn’t want a Popsicle inside their drink? The strawberry Poptail also included generous chunks of fruit, which was so yummy!
My hubby met me at the event after work, and when I arrived, he had already found my group of friends, and checked me in. Love him! It was so nice to hang out with my friends and enjoy a nice summer evening; even though there was a foggy breeze in the air.
If you are local to the Bay Area, and are looking for a fun spot for happy hour, definitely head over to Hotel Valencia for a Poptail this summer. It is so perfect on hot days! They will make a non-alcoholic one upon request too. Love that!
Now if you happen to be out of town, and are looking for the perfect place to stay while visiting Silicon Valley this summer, check out Hotel Valencia! They offer fabulous summer and weekend packages which include Poptails! You can learn more at their website HotelValencia-SantanaRow.com. This hotel is right in the middle of the best shopping and dining in the south bay. Perfect place to stay!!!
You might notice, I am wearing my floral jumpsuit again. It is SO COMFORTABLE! If you are looking for a fun go-to piece this summer, this jumpsuit is it! My outfit details are below.
Thank you for stopping by!

*Hotel Valencia provided comped tickets to my husband and I for this event. All thoughts and opinions in this post are my own.
Beach season is here! Can I get a “heck yeah!” As my kids get older, I can finally get excited about beach season again. I no longer need to lug around a truckload of baby gear, diapers, and more. Now that my kids are all school-age, with one being a teen, they are self-sufficient at the beach. They even carry their own gear! Pinch me, I must be dreaming!
Since I am back in the “traveling light” camp, I can go to the beach with my bare essentials. If you are transitioning from little kids with lots of gear, to the one bag, lightweight stage, then this might help you decide what to pack in your Mom beach bag too. These are my essentials for a beach day with my kids; who carry their own gear. Yes!
Beach tote: A fabulous beach tote is essential to traveling light. The tote needs to be large enough to carry everything, without being overly bulky. I love this one from Boutique Mexico. It is the perfect size.
Espadrilles: If you have tried wearing shoes on the beach before, then you know shoes have no place on the beach; and don’t even think about wearing flip-flops, they flip off! The only shoes which work on the sand are espadrilles. I always have a flat pair to wear on the beach. You can protect your feet from hot sand, or trash left behind by annoying people, with a good pair of espadrilles. They are also easy to shake out after your beach day is done.
A good book: Older kids can entertain themselves. Therefore, you can relax! A good book is a great way to relax while your kids build a sand castle. If you are reading a book with your kids at the beach, just make sure you can still see your kids. The last thing you want is for one of them to decide the ocean looks like a swimming pool and start running out of your sight. Always be ready to intervene.
Portable phone charger: The beach offers a lot of photo ops, and if your kids are like my kids, they like to take videos of their sand castles, and of each other. Always carry a back-up battery for your phone.
Striped swimwear: Striped swimsuits are hotter then hot this season. You want to be the most fashionable mom on the beach right? Then it is settled! You must wear a striped suit! I’m living in this bikini for summer, but here are a few more striped swimsuit options you might love:
Body butter: The sun, the salt sea, and chlorine from the pool; these are all causes of dry, summer skin. I combat summer skin with LaVanila Body Butter. It works like a charm! See my full review here.
Sunscreen lip balm: Your lips need sunscreen too. I can’t live without this one.
Neutrogena sunscreen: This is a fabulous, non-greasy sunscreen. I love it for both myself and my kids.
Sunglasses: No beach trip is complete without a fabulous pair of sunglasses which not only protect your eyes from harsh rays, they show the world that the beach is your runway. Twirl girl!
A fabulous sun hat: Your Giants cap is for baseball games, the beach is for dramatic sun hats! Wear something fabulous, you deserve it; especially since your daughter might try to bury your son in the sand again. Oh snap! Why not look fabulous while scolding your children? Twirl again!
That’s it! That’s all your really need in addition to a small first aid kit, water, and snacks. What are some things you like to ensure are in your beach bag this summer?
Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the beach!
XOXO
