Victoria Emerson|Fourth of July Sale

There are few things that “spark joy” in me more than the Fourth of July… An entire day filled with fireworks, boating, celebrating hot dogs (and America), everyone coordinating in their patriotic colors, and SALES everywhere you turn. What’s NOT to love?

One sale you definitely do NOT want to miss this holiday weekend is Victoria Emerson’s buy one get one sale! That’s basically half off the ENTIRE SITE!!! No exclusions! It is officially time to stock up on my favorite stacks. They make the perfect gift and, take it from me, they are addictive! I think I have almost everything on the site, and you can style it with everything!

If you haven’t made the leap yet on the wrap bracelet trend, DO IT! I think I’ve worn a Victoria Emerson piece every single day for the last three months (I’m sure you’ve noticed on my outfit photos), that’s how obsessed I am. The quality feels super high end and the price point is very affordable… especially at buy one get one free! But, they don’t stay in stock long so grab them while you still can.

I’ve narrowed down some of my top picks and linked them below, but you seriously cannot go wrong with anything! They are the perfect statement accessory to take any outfit to the next level.

*Special thanks to Victoria Emerson for sponsoring this post!

Lilly Pulitzer Summer Try On

When you’re from the South, Lilly Pulitzer is part of life… I’ve always loved a colorful, bold print and Lilly’s summer collection is just the right amount of playful nautical for Inlet life. (Plus, I can so easily coordinate the entire family with this collection which is a serious bonus because why would I not want Bo to coordinate with me at all times!) They have really stepped up their cuts and styles this season, and the swim is EVERYTHING.

Which look is your favorite?

J Crew Summer Haul | Try On

It’s officially too hot to go outside so this try on was delivered straight to my door. Thank you UPS, and also, I apologize that you know me by name. I’ve always loved the flirty, classic J Crew vibe and summer always taps into my preppy side! They had some serious sales happening so this haul was a steal!

The perfect summer dress for a day date, long enough to chase around Bo and dressy enough for a casual wedding! This dress runs true to size, but the earrings are my FAVORITE!

You can do SO MUCH with this blouse; it would be killer tucked into a pencil skirt for work or paired with high-waisted jeans for date night. I need like five more prints in this. And I am obsessed with the scallop detail on these shorts! Another great, mom-approved length.

This blazer is a business casual must-have. Perfect for any season and looks way more expensive than it was! And are y’all into blue light glasses? If you are on your phone or computer all day you’ve GOT TO TRY THEM! Especially if you get headaches, they are a game changer!

Switched sunnies and denim and now I’m ready for a day of shopping. This would also be the most chic airport outfit ever.

Weekend casual at its finest. I love when I can be cute AND comfy. And I need everyone I know to have this shirt because it SPEAKS TO ME.

Summer Essential | The Platform Sandals

I’m 5’2″ so anything that’s going to make me seem even the tiniest bit taller, that also doesn’t require me to stand on my tip toes, is 100% Whitney approved. When my beloved 90’s era platform sandals made its modern revival I was hesitant to try out the resurrected trend. Even though the 10-year-old version of myself was ALL IN and ready to buy some glitter jelly sandals and a Limited Too blow-up chair. But, now that they’ve combined the platform sandal with the espadrille in the chicest summer way… I. Can’t. Get. Enough.

Here are my top picks that will make you watch to ditch your flip flops and immediately plan a garden party. Long live the 90’s and thank you to whoever also brought back headbands and scrunchies.

Can we bring back mood rings next?

Loft Try On | 40% Off EVERYTHING

Am I the only one that still LIKES going to the mall? I mean, I am still on a first-name-bases with the UPS guy but I love a good stroll through the mall. I couldn’t resist LOFT’s summer sale and stocked up on some seriously cute summer staples.

How cute is this white jumpsuit? I LOVE the fit and the button-detailing. I have on a size 4 and it fits true to size. The linen material is perfect for hot summer nights!

These shorts were an absolute steal at only $30. They are a great mom-friendly length so you can still chase a toddler around and I love the cute anchor detailing. Plus, this ultra-lightweight sweater tank will take you straight through summer into fall making it a great seasonal transition piece. (It’s more pink in real life!)

I’m a sucker for a summer sweater — it was 102 degrees yesterday and I still could not control myself. It is a super breathable fabric and would be great for summer nights.

This sweater tank nails the nautical feel and would be adorable with some white denim. The stripes are very flattering and I love the neckline.

Everyone needs this dress! It’s such a great, comfy material and is the perfect “throw-on-and-go” dress for summer. You could throw a denim jacket over it for night and have an instantly easy summer date night look.
