Foods, Frocks, & Fancies For the 4th

Dear friends,

I simply could not decide whether to post about food for the holiday weekend or clothes, so I decided to post about BOTH! While I won't actually be home to take advantage of any of the gorgeous holiday-themed foods I spent so much time researching, I thought they were too fun not to share… and Anthropologie is at it again! Marking things down for sale seems to be about the only thing they are doing the summer, not that I'm complaining or anything… :)

First off: the food! As hard as I looked I simply could not locate any red, white, and blue healthy foods. I guess the only thing left to do is eat sweets…! Traumatic, I know! :)

• Fourth of July Cake from Jack & Kate 

• Red, White, & Blue Chex Mix from Gimme Some Oven 

• Red, White, & Blue Layered Drinks from Brown Eyed Baker

• Star Spangled Berry Tart from The Baker Chick

• Grilled Blackberry, Strawberry, Basil & Brie Pizza Crisps from Half Baked Harvest

 • Fruity Firework Pancakes from Taste & Tell 

• Pavlova from Add A Pinch

Thankfully, Anthropologie understands our pain. Knowing that we might have to suffer through sweets, treats, and good eats during what is likely to be a long holiday weekend for Americans, they decided to add even more to their tag sale AND continue offering 20% off with code SALEAWAY. Miserable, right?! ;)

• Primevere Dress • Blazing Hibiscus Dress • Tripod Lamp

• Sayan Dress • Wiscahisset Bike Basket • Cherry Blossom Gown

• Acacia Cake Stand • Coral Tree Dress • Polaroid Z2300 Instant Digital Camera Kit

So what will you be doing over the holiday weekend? Taking advantage of the frocks and fancies sale … or eating all of the holiday spirit? Share in the comments! I'd love to hear! :)
