July 4th essentials- Cute dress, picnic blanket + basket and DIY bug spray that smells good

  1. Issa: Kimono dress (to be gorgeous and comfy at the same time!)
  2. Festive picnic basket for 2 (for wine, cheese, crackers and some homemade Laduree  macarons)
  3. Urban Outfitters: Pendleton National Park blanket (for watching fireworks on)
  4. Pelle Moda: Stud flat sandals (so cute with the dress but good for walking too)

Want to make your own ‘good smelling’ bug spray? Try this, via ehow:

  1. 2 cups of witch hazel
  2. 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin
  3. 20 drops each of citronella & lemon balm essential oils
  4. Shake it all up to mix thoroughly. It is best stored in a tinted glass spray bottle, but this could be harder to find. If you use a clear bottle, ensure you keep it out of direct light when not in use.
