The 4th of July Rundown
The 4th of July Rundown
As a North Dakota/Minnesota based company, We've all grown up taking the 4th of July serious around here. From the well renowned ultimate lake day of the year to family barbecues, we would dare to say that this is one of the biggest celebrated holidays of the year around these parts. This weeks blog goes out to all of you who can relate! Whether you're hosting this years 4th of July get together or chilling out as an attendee to the festivities, we have accumulated the rundown for our list of all things festive and (of course) fashion!
When it comes to the team at Leela and Lavender, we all celebrate the 4th differently. Some of us attend block parties or go to the lake, while others enjoy the day in the air conditioning. One thing we can all agree on however, is that the day is only made perfect once theres a cold drink in hand! Below we have accumulated this years drink which we are sure to be a fan favorite (and so easy to make!)
