What I Wore - Dreamer Shirt and Shorts

Happy humpday Foxy Friends. It's our last week of What I Wore series before we start up our October Fall Series, but don't worry, we'll still continue to do our link up each week. We love seeing what you all have been wearing lately! So link away.

Over where I live, we are knee deep in 100° weather, like where did this come from? We've had a pretty mild summer, so I can't complain, but these temps are killing me. For whatever reason, I haven't worn these shorts yet this year, why? I have no idea, they are super comfortable. I wasn't sure what to pair it with, but while perusing my closet was drawn to my Dream shirt. It's slightly see through, so I paired it with my favorite Target Tank*.


Have you tried Colourpop yet? I just got a few colors and have only worn it this one time, this is the Ultra Glossy Lip (Honey B)*.  So far this is what I know, it goes on smooth and it's clumpy or sticky like some lipglosses are. I'll keep you posted how I like them.


I decided since we were headed out to dinner to show you how I typically have been doing my hair on first day wash. A couple of months ago I saw Carylee from More Pieces Of Me show us how she typically does her day each day for a week. I just loved her day 1 hair and have been repeating it ever since. I used to just go straight back with my hair, but I love how hers is off to the side, so I have been doing that, daily on the repeat, because #hairrut.





What have you been wearing lately? Next week, The Blended Blog is styling some Fall Sweaters, join in on the prompt if you have some fun fall sweaters to share!

Styled By Someone Else

Hello Foxy Friends! If you're here from The Blended Blog, welcome! Today I have something really fun, over on TBB we all decided that it would be fun to let the people around us help us get dressed. So here I am asking the people around me to dress me.

The first person up was Mini Fox. When I do my outfit posts (if she is awake), she will typically be at my side watching my every move, asking me what make-up I'm wearing. When I told her that she could dress me and anything in my closest, I think she thought I was joking at first and then jumped at the chance so fast your head would spin. Her main criteria...to wear a princess dress...I am short of those in my closet, but she found this stripe/floral print that she absolutely loves and always asks me to wear it. I asked her how I should do my hair, what accessories and what color lipstick I should wear. This is the outfit she came up with.




 Mini Fox wanted to jump into some pictures with me. We just happen to match.



The next person I ask was Baby Fox, he woke up early on morning as I was getting dressed and he wondered into my room and I told him he could pick out anything for me to wear and I would wear it all that day. He was super excited as he perused my closet, thinking of what he should pick out. He pretty much picked this out super quick. I even asked him what shoes and he did get a bunch of my shoes out and eventually picked out the pink converse. I was hesitant at first, but you know what, at Kindergarten drop off I got a compliment on my shoe choice...apparently a 5 year old knows his shoes. He also said no make up









Next up was Mr. At first he picked out this super inappropriate outfit...think Britney Spears "Baby One More Time" video. In my defense I keep that skirt becuase it was one of the first outfits I wore when I met Mr., I really just keep it for memories, not for actually wearing. And yes he tried to pair it with the top that I met him in...again something I would NEVER wear now...think backless. Anyway, Mr. wanted to mix patterns. This is the outfit he came up with. Again he picked out the lipstick color.




My sister happened to be at my house on Saturday picking Baby Fox up so I asked her to dress me. She was having Mini Fox help her and guess what Mini Fox picked? Yep the same exact dress, I asked her to dress me 3 weeks ago...she's consistent. So I told my sister to try again and she picked out this outfit. She had some trouble with the shoes, since she doesn't really know my closet, but she picked out my leopard heels and I have to admit I like it...


Mini Fox wanted in on the photos too.

Let's Talk: Entertainment

I'm back linking up with Andrea and Erika for Let's Talk, where each month they give us a topic to discuss, this month it's Entertainment as in what books, movies, magazines and blogs we love. So here it goes.

Books:

Okay so let's face it, I haven't been reading that much. The last book I read was Me Before You, which was a great book, I highly recommend it, I missed it at the theater, can't wait for it to come out on video.


Back when I was in high school, my dad would just pass the books he read on to me, he was obsessed with Jack Reacher books, have you heard of them? He is a former MP and trouble always just seems to find him, and he always solves the case. Jack Reacher is huge in my family, one person buys the book and the passes it to all the family member plus some extended family, Mr. joined in on the fun when we met.  Back in the day my dad always told us that these would make fantastic movies, and guess what, 20 years later they finally made it a movie. I guess this last book my parents just gave us is going to be the next Jack Reacher Movie, slated to come out end of October, so we're all trying to read it before it comes out.



Movies:

So once day I got sucked into watching youtube videos, you know how that is, and suddenly I find myself watching movie trailers, even though I haven't seen Me Before You yet, I know that I love Sam Claflin, so the movie trailer I saw called Love, Rosie. Super Cute, I recently discovered a friend who's wife is obsessed with buying movies, think over 2000 in their collection. So I asked if he had it, and of course he did...yay! They are my new Blockbuster. Anyway, it was a super cute movie and I really liked it, click here* to rent or buy the movie.

 
Does a series count? Mr. and I just finished watching The Man in the High Castle, it's an Amazon Prime show about what would happen if Germany won the war...super interesting premise. So if you have Amazon Prime movies, check this one out, season 2 comes out mid December, so you have time to catch up!


 
Magazines:
 
...ain't no one have time for that...okay I don't....and I have never been one for magazine reading, well when I was 13 I was obbesseed with Teen, but mom and dad didn't particularly like me reading it, so when my subscription ended, so did my love for magazine. Haven't really picked one up since.
 
Blogs I love:
 
Of course I love The Blended Blog and everyone that is a contributor. We have collected such a great/diverse group of woman who have interests all over the spectrum. I just love what every single lady brings to the table.
 
 
 
Elizabeth from Chasin' Mason, she is just so down to earth, her son is adorable and his love for post offices is just the cutest, plus she lives in a few cities over from me. One day we're going to meet!
 
 
Lindsay from Lindsays Sweet World, although I have not actually met her in person, she just seems like the sweetest person, with a great sense of style and killer interior decorating skills. Can she just be my personal stylist and decorator?
 
 
 
 
Beth from Our Pretty Little Girls, I was first drawn to her blog because she was taking a picture a week of her girls. I just thought that was so darn sweet, that I just had to keep following her journey. Weird that I remember that and that was why I followed along. But along the way she's becoming a blogging friend, she home schools her girls, which almost makes me want to do it too, but not quite, she seems WAY more patient than me at teaching someone something...anyway, I hope one day I get to meet her in real life.
 
 
I could go on forever, but I'll stop at three, anyone that you think I should check out and put in my must read file?

Friday Favorites #88


Happy Friday Foxy Friends! I have today off, woo hoo! Have to take the kids to the dentist, wish me luck...Mr. took them the last time, the first time I took them Mini Fox screamed the whole time. The second time Mr. said that Mini Fox did pretty good, the hygienist was super good with her and used the tooth whirly thing on every single one of her fingers to show her what it felt like before he put it in her mouth...talk about patient. Anyway, long story longer, wish me luck. Onto my favorites from this week:




In case you missed it this week:



Monday: $10 Target Haul (and I actually did something with everything)
Tuesday: Little Mermaid Birthday Party
Wednesday: My Favorite Summer Outfit
Thurdsay: I Confess

 Back in Holy Cow, it's been almost a year...anyway, back last October, I won a Stitch Fix style fee from Courtney from A+Life 
I have no idea why it took me so long to use it. But hey, better late than never. Anyway, I decided to give it another try, and it's coming next month! I'm so excited to get that little brown box with the teal sticker. I'm obsessed with reading everyones stitch fixes, like Elizabeth from Chasin Mason. 

So next month you'll be getting a Stitch Fix reveal from me! Stay tuned.



  Baby Fox is doing so good in soccer. Saturday Mr. went to play golf so Baby Fox helped me carry Mini Fox and all of the treats (it was our turn), Mini Fox was just too tired to walk, we woke her up 1.5 hours before her normal wake up time. Actually both kids were pretty tired.



Saturday night Mr. took Baby Fox to the ballgame so Mini Fox and I hit up the mall, of course!


She picked Cheesecake Factory for dinner, it was delicious.



 Sunday we hit up a party for a friend at the kids favorite play place. They would come here all day everyday if they could.

My friend did a great job with the decorations, it was a Power Puff Girls take on Godzilla.


I thought these were super cute.


Girlfriends, nothing better.




That Mini Fox is a dare devil I tell ya. I had a mini heartattach when she was coming down.




Some videos I've been liking lately...for whatever reason I could no stop laughing at this...

Confession Time...

I've always seen people do Thursday confessions, but I have never done one before, I'm not sure why. So here I am linking up with Danielle for some confessions..hopefully you still like me when I'm done.


- That keeping the windows open makes me a better mother, I think twice before I yell because what would the neighbors think

- That the reason I want to yell above is that I hate bath time...they never listen and I always get wet.

- That I hate closing my eyes in the shower, I've watched one too many horror movies and I always expect someone to be standing there when I open my eyes. When I use my Clarasonic in the shower, it give so much anxiety because I have to keep my eyes shut for 2 minutes...torture I tell you.

-  That every month I say I'm not going to buy any clothes and within a few days of a new month I'm buying new clothes, oops! I made my first purchase to Shein last week, looking forward to getting the new stuff.

- I go out of my way to break up a line of ants...just to see them run around all crazy. Ants are the bane of my existence (I am not even exaggerating, words cannot express how much I hate them).

- I can't have more than one swipe to the right of apps on my phone. If I have to go to three screens I either delete an app or I group a bunch together, which always makes it harder for me to find it.

- I NEVER set my alarm on a "0" or "5", I haven't since I started setting my alarm, and I don't plan on stopping now, typically I set my alarm in the morning for 4:28am, also my clock is 10 minutes fast, so I can really mentally prepare to get out of bed.

- I cannot for the life of me figure out Snapchat. Seriously, I've tried, and tried, but just cannot get it. All those cool over lays all of you do, have NO IDEA how to do it...

-I hate not putting a picture of something other than graphics, but what else goes with this? I could try to find some awesome meme's or .gifs like Rebecca Jo does, but I'm just not even going to try, she's the master. Give me lessons :)

I think that is enough confessions for one day. Make me feel better, any confessions you want to fess up on?

Don't forget to enter the giveaway, only one day left!
