I hope that you all had a happy Fourth! I celebrated at The Frick again (like I did two years ago! I wrote a post about it here – it was in my first month of blogging!). We had a delicious lunch at the Cafe at The Frick, then walked around Frick Park again before going to get soft-serve ice cream at the Millie’s Summer of Soft Serve pop-up. It was such a perfect, relaxing way to spend the day.

I’m enjoying an extra-long weekend today (as I assume many of you are, too), so today’s post is going to be brief! I haven’t spent a lot of time online this week, and it’s been a nice break. I’ve been speeding my way through some books, though, so expect an updated reading post soon.

ONE – Madewell Tie-Back Dress
I wore this on the Fourth, but it’s not a holiday-only dress. It’s a great, easy but cute summer dress – the slit in the front makes it cooler than a typical maxi dress. I love the tie in the back, because the adjustability means that it fits me really well! The blue color is mostly sold out, but there is a lilac version, and it’s on sale, too!

TWO – Live Action Ariel Casting
They announced the casting for Ariel in the live-action remake that they’re doing, and I’m so excited. I love Chloe X Halle, and I think Halle will be an amazing Ariel! It’s one of my favorite Disney movies, so I can’t wait to see the remake.

THREE – Drybar Detox Clear
I’ve been a loyal Drybar dry shampoo user for a while now, and I’m really loving their new clear version. It’s a bit lighter than the regular version, but still holds up well against oil and really doesn’t leave any powder showing on your hair. I’m sold!
