Oh For Fox Sake – Styling A Graphic T-shirt

November 20, 2015 by suzanne carillo

Styling A Graphic T-shirt

I’m a sucker for cute, humorous graphics. You’ll find them in my older cards,   page 2,  Etsy cards and on my t-shirts.

When shopping for a gift for my niece I stumbled across this “Oh for fox sake” t-shirt.

How many times does that thought cross your mind throughout the day? Saying it with a little adorable fox on your t-shirt makes it palatable.

Polite even.

The secret super powers of adorable animals never cease to amaze me.

I’d follow this guy onto his spaceship. No questions asked.

Really we all need cute animal therapy every day. Instead of video games with people chasing after each other, killing and destroying why aren’t we chasing after kittens and puppies trying to snuggle them and dress them in cute clothes?

Everyone’s stress levels would come right down.

Yes…I’m full of brilliant ideas!

For Fox Sake!

What was this post supposed to be about? Oh yeah!

Styling a graphic t-shirt!

I’ve found a few t-shirts I could easily add to my collection.

I’d wear this funny tee…cause guacamole!

This one is  perfect for your typical narcissistic style blogger.

If you like the idea of For Fox Sake but want to leave off the cute graphic (why?) here is a plain tee.

The perfect Badass t-shirt.

This one is from my favourite book of all time.

And this t-shirt would be easy dress up and look all kinds of NY chic.

Here are a couple other ways I’ve styled some graphic t-shirts… and yes…I have a pug/dog obsession. I’m not ashamed to admit it.

How many t-shirts do you own? Or are you a t-shirt snob?

It’s okay. Me and my fox promise not to judge.

How To Wear A Summer Dress In Winter

November 18, 2015 by suzanne carillo

How To Wear A Summer Dress In Winter

How do you like my new Karina dress? Pretty sweet right?

Or fall…since winter doesn’t actually start for another five weeks.

This sleeveless summer dress lends itself well to a long sleeved sweater or turtleneck. I’m wearing thigh high suede boots and a felt hat. When it gets colder I will be adding some fleece lined tights and gloves.

By January I’ll be wearing a faux fur coat down to my ankles, massive wool scarf and if it is cold enough maybe another cape on top of all of that.

Onions are jealous of my layering capabilities in winter.

I layer until I can’t move my arms and can only shuffle about with the dexterity of an overweight snowman (NOT Olaf in Frozen…cause that guy has some serious moves).

It can become a safety issue.

When I am layered up for winter I’m not prepared for a “get-naked-quick-emergency”.

I do find that the older I get the fewer of those I have in life though.

Just to let you know I suffered greatly for getting these photos for my blog. I went out in the “magical hour” of light so that the sun was glaring straight into my eyes. If you are a migraine sufferer like myself you will know that is a big no-no. I came straight home and went to bed with a blinding migraine.

The lengths I will go to for you guys!

No one tells you of the health risks associated with being a style blogger.

Here are some other ways I’ve styled spring/summer dresses for fall or winter…

and then I added a leather jacket and cape and some serious attitude.

Do you try to wear your summer dresses in the fall/winter? Or is that just a good excuse to go out and buy a whole other wardrobe?

Karina dresses has generously offered me to be an ambassador for their brand and gifted me this dress. I adore the dress and am happy to promote a company that hasn’t shifted production overseas.

In my recent hot yoga the instructor read out loud while we transitioned through poses, ⁣

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. It's a reminder of what it means to face resistance and keep moving. Like an airplane meeting headwinds, we often find our strength not in smooth skies but in turbulent ones. Headwinds build lift. They give the wings something to push against. In the same way, strength through resistance is born in those moments when everything feels uphill. It’s in these moments that quiet courage grows, even when it doesn’t feel heroic. Struggles don’t always mean we’re failing. They may mean we’re in the very place where transformation begins. The wind that pushes against you now might be the wind that teaches you how to soar. ⁣

Hot yoga and this teacher in particular has been a saviour for me. The meditative lessons on overcoming challenges in life have made me weep openly while on my mat but they have also helped loosen the trauma trapped deep inside the tissues of my body. ⁣
