Okay then...I guess that's it for Mini Fox's Interview.
Happy Monday Foxy Friends! Today I'm teaming up with Alison and Whitney for a fun collaboration. We figured out that a couple of months ago that we all picked up the same dress from Old Navy, so we thought it would be fun to all style the same dress three ways.
I just love that we all had a different take on this same dress. We didn't discuss how we were going to style our dresses before sending out our information to each other. Do love that we all even used the same necklace. Mine and Alison's being the same color, and Whitney choosing pink, how fun is that?
Here's my look. Actually I have two looks with this same outfit. Around where I am from it's pretty warm in the day and gets cooler at night, so I thought instead of carrying around something in my purse or over my arm, I would just tie it around my waist. Make it part of the outfit.
Here's the hair, a simple pony tail for this casual summer look.
Then when it gets a little more chilly when the sun sets (okay lets face it, it gets to 70° and I consider that jacket weather).
Now go check out Alison and Whitney's look of the same dress. Funny how a few accessories can drastically change the same dress.
Happy Friday Foxy Friends! It's my first full 5 day work week in 3 weeks, rough times...haha, just kidding, sort of. Anyway, here are some of my favorites from the week.
One of the most exciting things to happen this week? I won $250 gift card to Nordstrom! Woo hoo, thank you Alison @ Get Your Pretty On! Alison is the one who got me to update my wardrobe and got me into wanting to dress myself pretty with her Style Challenges. See all of my style challenges here. I tried to see if I could return some of my previously bought purchases and use her gift card instead, but almost everything I wanted was sold out, wah, wah. Oh well, just means I get more stuff right? Anyway, here is everything I have bought and kept so far.
How about a new list for you all? The things I was super disappointed not to get, since I don't have a Nordstrom card (surprising right?) So I had to wait, I did wait up till midnight, had everything ready to go and didn't get Number 3...I was so bummed not to get that pretty sweater in that pink color, but I guess the jacket up above will suffice. I did get #1 and #2, but the #1 made my legs look funny, they were slightly too tall for my short legs, and #2, holy cow I did not read that they were 5.5" tall! I already had surgery on my ankle, as much as it pains me I have to return them, they are just not practical to wear with children and walking upright. Other things I got, Mr. hated and thought they were too big. In general he doesn't like when things are super big on me...boo. I liked this shirt, but he said NO way!
I also got my sister and Mom something, but they occasionally read the blog, so in order to surprise them they'll just have to wait to find out!
OH and Mr. sent me this picture with the caption...Intervention? Oops!
Legoland last weekend was a BLAST! I took the kids on Thursday and met up with my cousin, who was spending two nights there, we went home on Thursday night and came back Friday ready to spend the night at the hotel, my review here, and go for another round.
Thursday
We also went to the water park, which I didn't take any pictures because...well water and I don't have a water proof camera. But for the most part I think if your kids aren't over 48 inches it's not really worth it...if you are shorter you have to wear a life jacket (which probably doesn't fit) in the fun parts and the other parts that don't require it are so crowded that little kids just get lost in there. I would feel more comfortable taking an older child.
We're watching the 4D Lego movie. The kids loved it.
Friday
All the little cousins together again.
The older cousins, plus a baby.
OH and in case you wanted to know the new ride Ninjago...went on that 6 times...over the course of the 3 days. And I was a winner 6 times...that's me on the bottom right photo.
This is what happens when Mr. is in charge...he shoves as many kids on a small stroller as possible and runs around like a maniac.
Oh and in case you were wondering, we were all there to celebrate my cousin's little girls 6th birthday. So happy we could all go and help celebrate.
Much need night out with this girl...so many laughs and three hours later I'm recharged and ready to tackle life again.
Who's excited for the Olympics? The human interest stories are my favorite and I cry almost every time.
I'm fairly certain all weekend and for the coming couple of weeks we'll be glued to our TV. We just love every part of it, and if we didn't have to adult we would stay up all night watching all of it, even the quarter finals for skeet shooting, cause we're weird like that.
Are you as excited as we are? Happy Olympics watching weekend!

Hello Foxy Fashion Friends! Today I'm back with another look with one of my favorite skirts, click here for how I styled it last month. This time I'm styling it with my favorite jean vest.
I just love how flowy this skirt is and how you can dress it up or down depending on your accessories.
I did my hair super easy, just braided and tied back.
This week I actually did my hair! Amazing...
I saw Carylee do this to her first day hair, and I liked it so much better than just putting it back. I liked that it had a little swoop to the side.
I saw this pony tail on Cute Girls Hairstyles and thought this would be perfect for a hot day at LEGOLAND. Although seeing myself in some picture I should have loosened it a bit up top so I don't look like alien head...oh well, at least it was off my back.
Monday I had 3rd day hair so I need to braid it back a little, boy I look tired.
Tuesday, now it was 4th day hair, so I threw it up into a half top knot, this is quickly becoming my favorite hair style. I got the tutorial from Ellie.
That's it for the week. I hope you join along with us for our summer series, Pick, Pair, Share! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!
