Patriotic Baking

Betty loves the summer and baking so the 4th of July is her favorite warm weather holiday.

This year make your own festive sweets with these adorably retro cupcake baking cups and decorative stars by Wilson. They are sure to add a vintage feel to your backyard party!

Nautical Fashion

With the kids out of school, Betty and her family spend many warm summer days on their sail boat, at the beach or country club pool. And nothing says summer fashion like nautical clothes. Betty's outfits always look picture perfect yet effortless in red, white and blue. Whether you are on sea or land, you can't go wrong with these retro looks!

Happy 4th of July!

Being the all American girl that she is, Betty loves the 4th of July. Every year she plans a festive barbeque, which her friends and neighbors rave about for weeks. Her Independence Day party is patriotic down to the smallest detail.
