Friday's Fancies: Apres-ski! :)

Linking up with <av> from Long Distance Loving today for Friday's Fancies! 

Today's theme is "Hit the Slopes!" or as I like to call it "Put on a Cute Outfit to Sit by the Fire in the Ski Lodge All Day". Hah. 

I went skiing once a few years ago and it was literally the scariest thing I've ever done (and I was on the bunny slopes--how embarrassing) and I'm 99.9% sure I will never do it again! I had fun but seriously got freaked out by the ski lift and not feeling like I had good control of myself going down the mountain hill....

BUT that being said, I definitely was up for creating a super cozy and fun outfit for the "after skiing" fun! :)

I have a weakness for silver hoop earrings and let's be honest, it's not like I'd actually be skiing so I don't have to worry about them getting caught...haha!

Friday's Fancies: New Year, New You!

Linking up today with av of Long Distance Loving for Friday's Fancies! This week's theme is New Year, New You! 

New Year, New You! by eraff1483 featuring slim jeans

One of the things I'm going to try to do this year fashion-wise is to think COLOR. I wear a ton of black because I like how it looks with my bright red hair, but I also know I could branch out a bit with different colors! I love navy blue and turquoise, so I created this cute, casual outfit for a bright start to 2013!

                    This is a fun sweater that looks super comfortable! A little pricey, haha, but cute!

Friday's Fancies: Black and Orange Fashion

Friday's Fancies: Leaf Love

Linking up with Long Distance Loving for another week of Friday's Fancies! This week's theme is leaf love and I do love fall! Yellow, orange and red are not the best colors for my red hair and pale skin, so I decided to create a fun fall outfit instead! :)

Friday's Fancies: Football Frenzy!

So I think I've mentioned it on here before but I am a HUGE Redskins football fan! I love them sooo much! Our family has season tickets and goes to the games pretty often. And we are just as crazy about them when watching the games at home too.. :)

This week on Long Distance Loving, the theme for Friday's Fancies is football frenzy, so of course I had to pick my favorite team to design my outfit around!! :)

And here is what I came up with!

Football Frenzy!2 by eraff1483 featuring leather tote bags


1.) I love this cute burgundy shirt, especially the fun little pocket!

2.) You can't ever go wrong with skinny jeans and boots---one of my favorite looks for fall!

3. ) I want these boots soooo bad even though I have a pair (not Torys) that's almost the same, haha...

4.) I love this bag!! It's so cute and who cares if it's probably to big to be within the "regulations" at the football stadium. I only wish I was joking but seriously, FedEx Field has "required" dimensions that your purse has to be smaller than..I usually ignore it, hahaha! :)

5.) Love these earrings and the fading color scheme. Adorable!

DIY T-Shirt Scarf

A few weeks ago, I saw this post on More from Meg about how to make a t-shirt fringe scarf and I thought it was absolutely adorable! I love anything crafty and do-it-yourself-ish, and this was about as simple of a project as I could imagine! (Except I didn't imagine it...I just copied it from someone more creative than me, haha!)


First step: Find an old t-shirt to say goodbye to as it's about to be cut up and refashioned! (Side note: I love Polo t-shirts and this color is sooo adorable, but sadly it shrunk in the wash--so I was glad I found a way to still use it!)

Second: Cut off the top part of the t-shirt. You will not need this part anymore!

Third: Cut small strips into both sides of the shirt all the way across the shirt. (I did have a little trouble keeping my cuts straight so there were a few I had to go back and trim a bit...)

 Fourth: Drape it over your neck like so and enjoy your super cute new scarf! 

Yep, it's basically one of the simplest DIY projects I've ever seen and it's sooo cute! Plus, it's recycling something old into a new and fun thing to wear. So it's kind of like I'm helping the planet stay healthy...one t-shirt scarf at a time, hahaha! :)
