When a holiday like Independence Day comes around, you have got to prepare for the celebration! For foodies, it is the barbeques. For explosive enthusiasts, it is the fireworks. For fashion lovers, it is everything else. Bags to carry fireworks and a lipstick that a napkin cannot dab away.

In typical Florida fashion, there is a 50% chance of rain and partly cloudy at night this Independence Day but whether it’s rain boots or sunglasses, Tampa Bay Fashion Week has the must haves accessories that are going to help you bring in this 4^th of July in style…rain or shine!

Keeping in mind that fashion is a lifestyle ~ one must first decide what they are going to do before they dress for the outing. If you plan on eating to (or over) your fill and then blasting fireworks into the night, here is what you are going to need:

Knapsacks recently emerged into the mainstream again as attractive, go-to bags to carry what we need. Their multiple pockets organize our stuff and prevent messy situations like lipsticks mixing lotions. It is also perfect for carrying the fiery goodies and to-go plates.

Lippies to keep in mind are Smashbox, Colour Pop Ultra Matte and Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Always Red. Unless you rub your lips in virgin coconut oil and water, these lippies will not come off leaving you to eat, joke and laugh without a care.

Also, a cute cap works no matter the weather. It blocks the sun rays from your eyes and is your first line of defense from a scattered storm.
