Favorite Looks of the Week

This week’s Favorite Looks of the Week roundup is an eclectic mix of dresses, scarves and fall jackets. I am loving the two pregnant ladies’ styles this week – Emily of Ivory Lane and Samantha of Could I Have that? I also really love the classic style of Jessica of What I Wore – what a well tailored blazer!

In case you missed any of this week’s posts, see photos from my week in review, get the recipe for my delicious vegan, gluten free banana nut bread, read helpful tips for family photos, gawk at these gorgeous laundry rooms and practice your braids with these amazing tutorials. Lastly, have you entered the Rifle Paper Co. giveaway yet?

Which look is your favorite? Have a wonderful weekend!

Best Braid Tutorials

My best friend, McKenzie, is a the best braider in the world. I, on the other hand, have spent the last 26 years of my life being completely inept when it comes to hair styling, After Isla was born, I decided that I really, really need to learn how to braid my own hair. After practicing every single day in Durango this summer, I can finally French braid my hair (a huge victory!). With Isla’s new desire to grab everything and hold on tightly, having my hair braided is almost a necessity. I’ve been watching and reading lots of braid tutorials to try to expand my skills, and after looking at a thousand different blogs, I’ve rounded up my favorite 9 tutorials for different hairstyles. Below you’ll see my attempt at Amber Fillerup Clark’s Upside Down Braided Bun.

Are you a good braider? Have you seen any other tutorials that you would like to share?

I have a few new entrants into my Favorite Looks of the Week series this Friday – One Small Blonde, Harper & Harley, Margo and Me, and Olivia Palermo. How have I not included Olivia yet? She can do no wrong in my book.

Favorite Looks of the Week

You can definitely spot the New York City and San Francisco bloggers in this week’s ‘Favorite Looks of the Week,’ in that they are dressed for fall while others are still enjoying the last days of summer weather. It is still pretty toasty in Texas, so I spent most of my week in shorts. I know I’ll regret saying this as soon as it starts to get chilly, but I’m ready for cooler temperatures. I love our nightly family walks when I get to put on a jacket and scarf.

I struggle to pick a favorite look from my top ten, but if push came to shove, I’d go with Wendy’s bow top. I am in love with it! Which of these looks is your favorite?

Have a great Friday and weekend. Don’t forget to enter the Freshly Picked moccasin giveaway. It ends at midnight tonight!

Favorite Looks of the Week

Happy Friday, y’all. I spent the first two days of the week fighting off food poisoning, which wasn’t fun, but managed to enjoy the next few days by catching up on life in Houston after spending the last 2+ months in Colorado. I love getting to ~~see~~ tightly hug everyone.

My last ‘Favorite Looks of the Week’ post was back in March (see all here), and I’ve decided to revive the series, as I enjoy picking out the outfits I love the most from the bloggers I look at almost every day. In the past, I included all of my favorite looks, but I have decided to whittle it down to my favorite ten looks (in no particular order). This week has some amazing looks – the highlights being Blair Eadie’s wraparound braid and Arielle Nachmani’s hot pink Christian Dior heels.

Which of these looks do you love the most?1. Pink Peonies // 2. Something Navy 3. Vanilla Extract // 4. Could I Have That?5. Convey the Moment // 6. Stephanie Sterjovski 7. Bishop & Holland // 8. Happily Grey 9. Wendy’s Lookbook // 10. Atlantic-Pacific
