Red, White, and Blue, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Happy Fourth of July! What better way to accent your outfit and show off your patriotic spirit this Independence Day than with a stylish new handbag. Designed by Julie Feldman and described as an "Americana tootsie roll handbag" (now I'm craving candy) this classic and simple bag is made of distressed leather with two rolled leather handles and zip closure at the top. I love the earthy and worn looking stars and stripes because they're so much less obnoxious than the brightly colored versions, and make the bag that much easier keep using all summer. $490

Etro Red, White and Blue Canvas Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

With beautiful red, white and blue colors, this Etro Canvas Satchel might be a good choice for the 4th of July in particular, but it can certainly be used for the rest of the season, if not longer. The linen-canvas bag has leather accents embossed with either crocodile or lizard prints. Accented with gold hardware, the bag has rolled leather handles, protective metal feet and two clasp-closing front pockets. Rather than the open interiour of most totes, this one is divided into three compartments, one of which is a zipped pocket in the center. The bag closes with a magnetic snap that is located on a concealed inside flap. The best part is that the bag is on sale at half price for $529.

Patriotic Cakes for the Fourth

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

Fourth of July celebrations call for a perfect ending, whether it is a bold fireworks display or a show-stopping dessert. Since we like to get the best of all possible options, we're inclined to try and combine our dessert and fireworks experience on the 4th. These patriotic cakes clearly rival most red, white and blue displays and are made by Sam Godfrey, who is apparently Oprah's cake designer. One is a Star Present Cake ($69) and the other is dressed up a large Uncle Sam Hat ($99). Both cakes are chocolate caramel flavored and serve 6-8 guests.
