Yesterday was my first 4th of July spent in New York, and it was lovely.
After a day of relaxing at home, and about a half hour searching for the perfect patriotic attire, I decided on…
…at least I went with stripes, right?
Then I headed to Canoe Studios, which my friends’ family owns. The studio is right on 26th and 11th – AKA thee perfect view of the Macy’s fireworks show.
I’ve seen a lot of fireworks in my day, but this show was unlike any other. Disney World – eat your heart out.
And what better way to end the celebration than with a little dance party?
Not to get all cheesy on you, but spending the 4th in the city was a lot more special than I thought it would be. To me, New York is the ultimate melting pot – one of the things that America is all about. And, well, I feel pretty darn proud to call this city and country home.
How did you celebrate yesterday?




















LOVE those shorts - where are they from? they are the perfect high waist!

We spent the day with friends from church. We grilled out and just enjoyed the weather!
I had a great 4th in the city, too! My room mate and I had people over on our porch and then headed to Boat Basin on 79th to watch the fireworks! it was awesome
Glad you had a wonderful 4th of July!
I spent the 4th on a rooftop here as well!!! Love it. Also I have that striped shirt! (Great minds think alike!) Glad you had a wonderful holiday lovely!
It looks like you had a wonderful 4th of July! I’ve heard that the NYC fireworks were the best yet this year, how lucky that you got to see them! My 4th was pretty low-key, spending time with my fam but special all the same.
Glad you had such a wonderful 4th of July. Your outfit is too cute btw!
