Red, White & New /

Faster than a speeding bottle rocket, the Independence Day weekend has exploded upon us like fireworks over Dodger Stadium.

You know what that means, don’t ya? Wearing your good old-fashioned American pride on your sleeve. Or for that matter on a shirt, a swimsuit, earrings, your feet or your face. What better way to express your patriotic duty than to shop in the name of freedom?

And we’ve made it easy to show off your stripes with these suggestions, from Old Navy flip-flops to an Old Glory gem-adorned mask from jeweler Harry Winston.

So do John Philip Sousa proud and march thyself to the mall instead of pigging out on roasted hot dogs.

Get starry-eyed for the red, white and blue. Declare your independence. Raise the flag with a star-spangled salute to style.
