10 Single Girl Favorites to Celebrate This Fourth of July
The Fourth of July holiday brings much to celebrate. Stories like this about the My Stealthy Freedom movement remind us how fortunate we are to have our freedom. Even more so that the rights that come with that freedom are shared equally by women and men.
This year, in honor of the holiday, we’ve rounded up a list of our favorite ways to celebrate the fourth. From patriotic fashion, to great recipes for your gathering, this list has all you need to honor the day in high style. We hope you all enjoy your day away from your desks and have a happy Fourth of July!
Time and/or money limitations holding you back from taking your dream vacation? Live vicariously through the travels of film characters. Reminisce about carefree summers with classic childhood movies. Host an outdoor movie night, curl up under the stars with these movies, and remember that your next adventure is just a choice away.
There is no shortage of American flag-emblazoned garb in the States. Despite the painful elimination of USA from the World Cup yesterday, we will always have one thing to celebrate: freedom. Let it ring this holiday weekend with classic Americana—hot dogs, water slides, apple pie, fireworks—and maybe leave the repurposing of flags into dresses to the college gals. Try these ideas on for a more grown-up iteration of the star-spangled banner.
San Francisco-born Nini Gueco tells us why she never tires of her City by the Bay

Welcome back to What I Love About My City—a series in which our favorite single girls dish on everything from the best places for a single girls weekend to the secret spots only the locals know about. If you’re thinking about moving or just planning your next trip, we’ll fill you in with all the essential details on the cities our crew knows best.
Over 30 years in San Francisco, and Avant-Barre‘s founder Char “Nini” Gueco has a palpable love for this fair city. Born in the City and raised in the Peninsula, Nini stayed in the Bay Area to attend Santa Clara University where she graduated with a degree in Accounting. Travel opportunities happened domestically through work (her first career move was as an accountant with a big 4 firm) and internationally through dance (she was a premier soloist with Likha Pilipino Folk Ensemble), but she always made her way back home to the Bay. I had the privilege of meeting Nini 27 years ago when I was born her second sister, and she’s one reason I cannot wait to make the move back this summer. After hearing what she had to say about San Francisco, I found a few more reasons to add to my list (one of them is Avant-Barre’s brand new SoMa studio that opens today).
Tomorrow is the first day of summer and we couldn’t be more excited. Though we’ve been unofficially celebrating the season since Memorial Day, tomorrow’s Summer solstice seals the deal. To help us all get into the swing of the season, we’ve rounded up 9 of our summer favorites– from swimsuits to sundresses. Check out our list and then let us know what you’d add to yours!
