Happy Happy Fourth of July!

We here at NEAT Method happen to LOVE this “All American” Holiday! 

Yes, partly because of the historical importance – to celebrate the birth of American independence from Great Britain. For those of you who may have not gotten an A in history: on July 4, 1776 the US adopted the Declaration of Independence.

But aside from the history lesson, the 4th is a typically fun summer day filled with festivities ranging from fireworks and parades to family gatherings and barbecues.  The NEAT girls plan to be decked out in stars and stripes, writing our names in the air with sparklers at least a few times tonight, while also listening to Katy Perry’s “Firework” on repeat.

To help you stay organized in style on this fabulous day, we have decided to share some of our favorite holiday décor with you! We know that suggesting you purchase "costume like" items goes against every bone in our body, but believe it when we say that even NEAT breaks the rules sometimes!

 

It isn’t a party until you have a well thought out stylish American outfit – and this shirt is just perfect:

american flag shirt, all american, 4th of july, red, white, blue, red white and blue

And for the fellas, these will for sure give off the "All American Boy" vibe:

Bonobos, american flag shorts, stars and stripes, all american, mens swim shorts, swim trunks, 4ths of july, red, white, blue, red white and blue

We were raised to never come empty handed to a group gathering, so what better way to celebrate than by arriving with this ombre deliciousness: 

Layered cake, 4th of july desserts, 4th of July cakes, red white and blue cake, red, white, blue, DIY, baking, cake receipe

And to organize your utensils in true red, white, and blue fashion:

red white and blue, red, white, blue, all american, america, 4th of july, plastic ware, DIY, table setting

Lastly, one of our favorite ideas for the holiday is to decorate using these mugs (which will also be great for the Olympics!):

USA, America, anthropologie, olympics, red flowers, white flowers, blue flowers, USA, 4th of july, fourth of july, all american

We hope you enjoy your holiday, relaxing in patriotic style of course!
