This week we were faced with a style dilemma that always leaves us a bit perplexed: how to pull off red, white and blue without looking like, well, a contestant in the Miss Liberty pageant. Don't get us wrong, we usually jump at any excuse to get a bit themed-out and the Fourth of July happens to be one of the best reasons to do so, but this year we decided to skip the star-spangled bikini and opt for something a bit more seaside chic. So without further ado, our look of the week:

1. Silence & Noise Boatneck Tunic in cherry tomato, $42: This effortlessly cool cotton frock is the perfect foundation to a patriotic look.

2. Emma Pink Ingrid Sandals in navy, $44.99:

Inject your red-and-white ensemble with a dose of blue with these timeless patent flats.

3. Spiegel Oversized Straw Tote, $19:

Stash your sunscreen and other summer essentials in this classic straw tote.

4. Ray-Ban Outdoorsman Aviator Sunglasses in white, $139:

We're smitten with this updated take on the eternally-in-style aviator.

5. Gorjana Star Studs, $45:

These delicate brushed gold studs add subtle flair to your Fourth of July outfit.
