Can you smell the lobsters steaming? The ocean breeze? Or maybe the dune roses? This week red, white and blue are not only everywhere because of our upcoming Independence Day, they are totally on trend.

Not only are they nostalgic and a perennial summer look, it’s a great way to show off those French stripes (see my last Well Styled post).  By adding some red for pop makes it oh so Summery.

Bold colors and coastal themes have been trending for the last few years in both fashion and interiors and this classic combination really nails the vibe for the season. Be it by boutique:
