Simple Fourth of JULY Accessories

 Changing up your hair and nails are the two easiest ways to spice up your look, especially for a festive holiday like the Fourth of July.  On the nails I used the Essie shade Russian Roulette and Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid Eyes. I chose to go simple with the nails but you can use red, white and blue shades to do what ever design you fancy.  For hair, I used a bandanna tied up as a headband. This adorable American Flag bow is from Marley Lilly and is absolutely perfect for the Fourth of July! Let me know below what you're wearing to show your American pride!
