how they celebrate 4th of july in london

 

I love the way these girls entertain!

American transplants, Marissa and Juliet throw a 

fabulous 4th of July party on the Ladies of London.

Sliders, mini lobster rolls and
 fabulous cocktails were served,

as well as an abundance of stylish cupcakes! 

mounds and mounds of patriotic cupcakes

To emulate this look for your next 4th of July party,

add small American flag toppers to your burgers 

and use fun stars and stripes straws for your drinks!

I don't think anyone liked Juliet's outfit

but Marissa looked great

Marissa's fabulous outfit for the day

a blue and white cottage

This charming little cottage was

one of the eight homes featured on the 2014 

Newport Harbor Home and Garden Tour.

The use of blue and white pieces

is the main design theme throughout this home,

and I love how they brought in gorgeous white coral and nautical-themed pillows to add a coastal vibe.

All the blue and white also mixes well with

the homeowner's Asian artwork and pine antique furniture.  

This is a darling home with breathtaking views

of Newport harbor and the surrounding islands.
