Lo and behold, the 4th of July is upon us. I wish you a fantastic holiday, filled with blue skies/sun/sand/BBQ's/cold cocktails/family/best friends/beautiful views and memories in the making. See you next week!

A crisp blue and white striped bottle,  Chandon's Limited Edition Brut Classic 2013, is a 4th of July must. The bottle design, rope and all, will have you hook line and sinker.

Rituals are part of the family fun. Festive red, white and blue crackers come with little surprises inside. Kids love this sort of thing. They get a paper crown to wear around. Pier 1 is a great go-to for 4th of July paraphernalia.

Since your dogs will be scared stiff after the Fireworks, lure them out from under the bed with a cookie, served out of West Elm's minimalist chic Dipper Pet Jars. Hopefully, they will soon forget about the trauma to their ears.

An indigo blue lumbar pillow with a red and white striped swath down the center make World Market's  pillow a nice one for the summer rental.
