Nothing will ever top Christmas in my book, but the Fourth of July is right up there on my list of favorite holidays.

No one can argue the value of a little black dress or a perfectly tailored black suit. Both go with everything, can be accessorised easily and are appropriate nearly everywhere. Unless your little black dress is seriously well cut...
