Go Fourth

Friday, July 3, 2015



Jacket: Forever 21 | Top: Brandy Melville (similar here)
Shorts: American Apparel (similar here) | Sneakers: Converse

This year's July 4th is no ordinary one for America. As we start up those barbecues and wait for the annual firework displays, there will be more to celebrate than the history written in our textbooks. Last week, love and freedom prevailed as the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. The patriotism nationwide rang loud and clear, especially as I ventured through the streets of New York's Pride parade. Never have I seen so many genuinely happy New Yorkers clustered into one area at once. It was beautiful.

While there are always improvements to make, our country took a giant step in the right direction that I could not be more proud to have been a part of. This weekend, wear your red, white, and blue with pride (or in my case, some Americana denim-on-denim) and celebrate like you never have before. Let's continue making progress, and go fourth.

  1. It's such an amazing time for America, and while I'm no American, I feel proud for the country, and for the world as a whole. The atmosphere of the Pride Parade must've been amazing, I can only imagine.

    i'm loving this simple look, and enjoy your 4th of July weekend, Christina!

  8. Agreed this will be a 4th of July to remember! What a special time in history. I do have to say, the photos on the train tracks.. Did you know it's illegal and posting photos like this contributes to other young people thinking it's okay? And as a result over 700 are killed each year taking photos on train tracks. These are gorgeous photos but this is just something I wanted you to be aware of. Carry on as you will :)
