Best 4th of July Sales to Shop

Cheers to the red, white and blue! There’s something about the combination of navy and white with a pop of red lipstick that just makes me all kinds of excited. Whether you’re staying home this year, going to the beach or pool or hopping on a plane: wishing you a safe and joyous long weekend! One thing’s for sure: the 4^th of July sales are going to be fantastic this year, so if you’ve been eying any purchases – let me help you “add to cart.”

I absolutely love this holiday weekend because I have so many happy memories from growing up. Every year, my family would go to a place in Western New York called “Genesee Country Village and Museum” which is very similar to a Colonial Williamsburg. This living history museum has an old-fashioned parade, pie eating contest and even a naturalization ceremony – which is such a cool event to watch! We would always go to my town’s parade and watch a huge fireworks show; hands’ down one of my favorite days of the summer!

As I got older: I started to look forward to the 4th of July Sales… sometimes you’re allowed to enjoy your shopping and fireworks all at the same time 🙂

 

What I’m Shopping For

Heading into the 4th of July sales, I have some bridal showers and bachelorettes this summer, so I’m going to be looking for some summer outfits that will be good for those trips! Now that Doug and I have been in our house for a few years, I’m also going to be looking for lifestyle items to make an old space feel new again. I’ve found the 4^th of July sales are often comparable to Black Friday, so typically I wait for big purchases specifically for this weekend!

Important to Note: just because a retailer is having a sale or a lot of bloggers you’re following are speaking about items they’re excited in the 4th of July Sales, about does not mean you need to buy anything. A lot of the time, I add items to my cart, think about it and then don’t end up buying anything because unless I really have been needing something, I decide I don’t need that impulse buy. Shopping is fun but “things” won’t bring true happiness. Always remember you never need to buy anything to feel good 🙂

 

My Top Picks for the Holiday Weekend

Sometimes, I feel like retailers’ sites are a little overwhelming and it can be tough to find things with so many items being pushed out. That’s where I’m here to help! Simply find the number that correlates with the item you like to use the corresponding link. You may even discover a new retailer you’ve never shopped before!
