It soon will be Fourth of July weekend, and this week’s Sunday Fab Five is leaning all the way in. We’ve got coastal interiors inspiration from one of my favorite designers, Jeffrey Alan Marks, some easy, festive outfits perfect for a long holiday weekend, and a dessert that’s almost too pretty to eat. Let’s dig in to Patriotic & Pretty: JAM’s Coastal Style, 4th of July Outfits, and a Red, White & Blue Dessert, and almost celebrate .
Outfits of the Week
A couple readers asked for something festive for July 4th. I am heading to Kansas City on Monday for Mersea’s Grand Opening in the Country Club Center. I would love to see you if you live in the KC area! I love Mersea’s collaboration with Stella Forest. I am sharing a couple of her looks today.

Remember Kathy Smith? She is sharing on Ageist how she is upping her fitness game at 74-amazing!
Jeffrey Allen Marks
I was leafing through Jeffrey Allen Marks latest book This is Home for inspiration (no one does California coastal ease like him), which prompted me to check out his Instagram feed.
That’s a wrap on this week’s Fab Five. I am off to Kansas City. I hope this post Patriotic & Pretty: JAM’s Coastal Style, 4th of July Outfits, and a Red, White & Blue Dessert provided a little inspiration if you are planning an upcoming July 4th celebration. It will be here before we know it!
Now let’s pop over and visit Annie and Mary Ann for their Sunday faves.
Dear Cindy,
Katie Harbison’s article is so encouraging. Living in our retirement apartment in a CCRC, it’s easy to long for the days where space made it possible to display and use our favorite collections. Her article created s contentment and incentive to declutter a bit more.
Enjoy St. Louis,

Cindy, I love that dress from Mersea! It’s so fun you’re going to the grand opening in Kansas City! I’m sure you’ll see Noelani and probably meet several readers of CHD!! What a fun opportunity! Can’t wait to follow along on Instagram!

We are having our annual July 3rd party…so I need one of these looks. Have a great time in Kansas City!
