Weekend Shopping Fourth of July American Flag Waving Fashion

I adore America. I also love a bit of theme dressing. As a kid I spent a lot of Independence Days in the States and, even though with the exception of having a few American relatives, I don't really have any reason to celebrate 4 July, for me it's just a great excuse to dress up, eat some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and drink even more Diet Coke and Starbucks than usual.

What with 2012 being Britain's year (I believe we've even gone so far as to copyright it), there are Union Jack print everythings, everywhere but you never have to look far to find the iconic stars and stripes design of the American flag in one form or another. Here's my pick for a variety of USA-inspired looks from street chic and high fashion to cheapo high street fun pieces for anyone else who doesn't need much of an excuse for a party.
