Favorite Fall Jackets and Sweaters

Hello Foxy Friends! Happy Hump Day! This month The Blended Blog ladies and I are giving a month of our Fall Favorites. It can be anything, from clothes, to shoes, to things around the house. Each week I've decided to show you something different in my Fall Favorites list. My theme this month come from a prompt from Erika and Shay who host a link up where they talk about what three items we would want with them on a deserted island. This month it's what outerwear we would bring.  So today I bring you my favorite Fall jackets.

 Every since Carrie, chose blazer and sneakers for her Style Perspective challenge, I have been obsessed.

I love this  knit blazer so much. I have been looking for a black blazer for a while now. I have one, but ultimately decided it wasn't for me.

 This one is super comfortable and looks at the piping inside, totally unexpected right?

I just love the new Cinderella movie. The message is fantastic, so when I saw this shirt, I knew I had to have it, I even bought one for my mom.

Some other jackets that I'm loving for the Fall...most of them are under $100. Which one would you chose?

1. Drape Front Leather Jacket // 2. Pilot Jacket // 3. Black Cardigan  // 4. Circle Cardigan // 5. Drape Front Cardigan // 6. Moto Jacket

Create 28 and Hair Challenge Week 25

Hello Foxy Fashion Friends! Today we're back at it with another week of Create 28. Go check out this weeks recap on The Blended Blog, everyone did such a fabulous job this week!

This week I actually styled two looks! I know I can't believe it either. I was just feeling inspired! First up is Sunglasses Styled. Funny enough I rarely wear sunglasses. I am definitely not one of those people that needs to wear them as soon as I step outside. But I was just recently looking through my scrapbooking closet (and when I say that, I mean I can't find anything because it's so full), and found these pair of sunglasses Mr. and I had bought back in the after Christmas sales at Express. So here is the outfit I styled...

Without the sunglasses (man it was bright outside, all the pictures I took I was squinting...I guess I really did need the sunglasses).

These jean shorts, the most comfortable shorts EVER! I bought it when I was out shopping with some of The Blended Blog ladies, seriously, worth every penny!

And the hair...I actually wore this outfit on Saturday to Baby Fox's half birthday party...I knew it was going to be hot, so I wanted it all up, perfect excuse for this Knotted Mohawk style. I didn't feel like I had enough hair at the end to complete it how she did, I'm fairly certain she has extensions in, so I just left it in a ponytail which I think works just as great.

My second look is the Pinned It and Did It look. I have lots of outfits pinned, but I had been wanting to try a  to cut an off the shoulder t-shirt with one of my t-shirts. After getting my Chico's T-shirt from the blogging conference, and I knew I probably wouldn't wear it as is, I thought, this is the perfect t-shirt to try this with. So I followed her youtube tutorial and I think it turned out pretty good. I wish the t-shirt was a little bigger, but I think it still worked.

For the hair I did a twisted half do, and added some extra twists to cover up the rubber band. I think that it turned out great, I'm really into doing twists right now, not sure why, but I think they are just so pretty.

Onto my hair for the week...

Last Wednesday I did this simple braid...can you guess...it was day 3 hair, so a braid is necessary.

I fully admit I watch stupid TV, it's mindless and I like it...but I was watching Young and Hungry and Gabby had something similiar I was trying to copy, but it didn't quite work out like hers, but I went with it.

Back with more twists on Monday, it was 107° here, so fancy pony tail for me.

I wanted to do some twists again, but decided to do a braid instead, this wasn't exactly the look I was going for, but hey it will do :) It was still easy to wear and comfy all day long.

Random fact: See that white background behind me? If you see it, it means I'm at work, toasting my bread for breakfast... The toaster is in a corner of the building right by a window where no one walks unless they are using the toaster...perfect spot for a selfie.

This is our last week of Create 28, I can't believe it's coming to an end so soon! No fear we have something else planned for the summer months, plus something really fun for Fall. So stay tuned for details once we've hashed it all out. In the mean time, don't forget to hop on over to The Blended Blog for a full recap of all of the this weeks outfits. The prompts for our final week.

Link up one of this weeks prompts or any outfit post, hop around and meet some new people! Thanks for joining in on the fun!

Style Perspectives: The Graphic Tee and Hair Challenge Week 16

Hello Foxy Fashion Friends. Yet another week of the Style Perspectives with The Blended Blog! I am loving seeing everyone style the prompts and meeting new people through the link up! Keep 'em coming!

This week was Deena's choice, and she could not have picked anything more like her than a graphic tee. I basically think they are one in the same...okay not really, but seriously love the prompt. Fun fact...I did not own a graphic tee until last year during one the style challenges.

Then I decided to style my very first Graphic Tee that I got...It was the first one that really spoke to me...

Now onto the hair...I actually got a machine to do the twists (hopefully unboxing video coming soon, it's been recorded, now I just need to find the time to put it together), so I twisted three together and then braided the three twists together.

And how could pass up a jumping shot, curteosy of Mr...because I took about 15 with the remote timer and failed miserably and was sweaty hot.

Tip #1: Key to looking good in a jumping shot...make sure to tuck your knees up behind you, makes you look like you've gone higher than you really have.

Tip #2: Set your camera to rapid fire picture taking, so the person taking the picture just rapid fires and you're sure to get the peak of your jump.

Now go check out Deena's post on The Blended Blog, I think she has something pretty fun up her sleeve...

In case you missed it, here is how everyone styled their Tee, Cardi, Jeans and statement necklaces.

Okay now onto the hair challenge. I actually did pretty good with this, mostly because I was at the conference in Vegas and you know, dress to impress right?

This was last Wednesday. I needed to do something, since nothing was done Monday or Tuesday. I threw these braids in and put them together and I probably couldn't repeat this even if I wanted. I was tired and just trying to do anything in less than 10 minutes.

Thursday was driving to Vegas. I don't like wearing ponytails while driving, so I threw it up like this...sort of like this video, hers looks way better, ah well. This was taken after driving for 4 hours and walking around...so it's a little messed up from when I started.

I totally forgot to take a picture of my hair on Friday, how could I?! Here's front view...Oops. And now I can't even remember how it looked in the back, so much happened, yikes!

This style was because Deena said she said someone on Canada's version of The View (it's called The Social), anyway Lainey, had something sort of like this, but not really. But we got the style inspiration from her.

Sunday was spent all day shopping. I was trying to do this hair style, but couldn't hear the directions, for some reason the audio was out, and it was too hard to follow, so I just threw it in a few knots and called it a day.

I even got a comment on the elevator from a hair dresser trying to figure out what I had one...so fun having someone that's a professional asking me how I did my hair!

That's it on the hair front. Next weeks prompt is: A plaid looks, bring out that Spring Plaid and bring your A game next week.

Now go check out how the other ladies styled their graphic tee look.

My Love For Graphic Tees

The last week with the Style Bloggers for the Summer Challenge, feel free to link up any outfit of choice, we'd love to get some more ideas! 

Day 17

I'm pretty much in love with this graphic tee. It's from Target and it's only $12.99, win win.

I also love these cute fox earrings, I also have a matching ring, which you'll see later this post.

Day 18

Simple dress, simple necklace, super easy to throw on and look like you're totally put together.

This girl wanted in on the pictures too.

Day 19

Here's my favorite black shirt again. Many of you guys have been asking where I got it, it's from Nordstroms and it's on sale right now for $20, got get one stat.

Day 20

I love white on white, but my white shorts and the white tank that I own don't look good together. So I skipped this outfit. But here's another white on white that I've done. Bad picture, but what can ya do?

Day 21

The last outfit of the challenge was super easy, yet makes you look totally put together. Simple dress, statement earrings. I think I need to get a few more statement earrings to add to my growing collection (meaning the three pairs that I own). You know I think adding my new jean vest would look really good with this too.

Had to do the silly ring picture for ya all. I should have turned the ring around, see how they match the earrings from above? Pretty much anything that has a fox on it, I buy it. Mini and Baby Fox have a ridiculous amount of Fox clothing.

Something I will never be... a hand model...man my hand are ugly, and are in desperate need of nail polish. When do you guys find the time to paint your nails and let them dry before something or someone needs you?

Things I learned from this challenge:

Even though this is my 6 challenge I'm still learning new styles that I thought I wouldn't like...for example the jean vest...my favorite now! I want to pair it with everything. I got the vest late in the game, but I'm sure you'll be seeing this on repeat.

And the graphic tee. These are the looks I put together for this challenge but don't think that I haven't already gone out and bought a couple more graphic tees.

Now go check out my other bloggy besties to see what they thought of the Summer Challenge.
