Rock Out With Your Hat Out

Happy Weekend!

Thanks to all the lovely ladies who linked up for my first ever Bloggers with Balls link up party!  You ladies rock!  I love seeing how everyone adds their own personal style to common pieces.  Which brings me to the premise for today's link up:  hats.  I love hats.  Knit hats, cowboys hats, baseball caps, wide-brimmed, vintage - I love 'em all. 

One of the best things about temperatures turning a little chilly is that I can break out my knits.  I'm not sure if it's the throw back to early 90s grunge or the fact that they can hide even the worst of hair days, but either way, they are a staple in my fall/winter wardrobe.  

Here are some ways I've worn mine this season:

As a Pop of Color
Hat:  Forever 21

With Shades 

With faux leather Buffalo jacket, Christian Dior frames, and my Jane Eyre scarf.
Hat:  GAP

I want to see how YOU wear YOURS!

Link up and "Rock Out With Your Hat Out!"
(I know that's not grammatically correct - just go with it).

Housekeeping

Just wanted to do a little housekeeping here at The Flower City Fashionista...

I've got a lot of stuff going on.

First things first.

• You have until Friday to join my Bloggers with Balls link up party and blog hop.  If you own this necklace link up your outfit post to show the world how you wear yours.

• I'm thrilled to be a contributor for Lucky Magazine's online community.  They have already published five of my posts.  Be sure to "vote" for them so I can get some cred. ;)  You can access my profile here:  Jenny Sanzo for Lucky Magazine.

• My giveaway for a light It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer ends this Friday at midnight
• I was asked to join Top Mommy Blogs - a site that features the most popular mommy blogs on the web!  

• Last and certainly not least, in case you haven't heard:  I'm being published.  My publisher is giving away nine copies of the book TODAY!  So head on over here right now and comment to be entered to win on of these:

Okay I think that's it!  I need to feed a baby, squeeze in a quick park trip and get Colt to soccer practice.  Just another day living the glamourous life! **wink, wink**

Love ya, mean it!

Time to Join My Party

Seriously though, I'm about to join my own party, just because I can. (Plus I want to make sure it works).

If you haven't heard, I'm hosting a "Blogger with Balls" link up party and blog hop. It's my first one and no one has signed up yet so I'm starting to get a complex.  After crying into my hot apple cider, I did what any other rational person would do:  write my own outfit post and link up with myself.

So, without further ado... my balls:

Looking down...

Looking down...again...

Hello, tree.

When it doubt, grab the jacket

Baby Got Back

I'm wearing my J.Crew bubble necklace (via ebay), pleather jacket via Lord &Taylor, H&M sweater, a.n.a. jeans via JCPenney, Kenneth Cole hoop earrings via Blue,  and Fabianelli boots via Marshalls.

I looooove this jacket.  Today was the first time I wore it.  I snagged it at 40% at Lord and Taylor's anniversary sale last weekend - after seeing it one of my fabulous readers and forcing her divulge her shopping secrets.  I don't know about you, but I love sharing a good deal (especially when I'm on the receiving end).  Don't you?  Now we just have to make sure we don't wear it on the same day... that would just be awkward...

Hope you had a great weekend!

Make sure you link up and show me your balls!!!!

Bloggers with Balls

Good Morning!

I've had this idea for a while and finally got my act together to make it happen.  I am pleased to announce that I am hosting my first ever link up party and blog hop!  Yay!

If you've been around the blogosphere, you've likely noticed the prevalence of a certain necklace.  I've even heard it referred to as the "blogger necklace."  I affectionately refer to mine as "my balls" and get tons of compliments every time I wear them.   You can read about how I got my balls here.

Here are two examples of how I've worn them:

1.  Night out in NYC

2.  Church on Sunday

Whether yours is J.Crew or "JCREW" (I'm pretty sure mine is the latter) whether you call them your balls, your bubbles, or your baubles, I'd love to see how you wear them.  So whip out your balls and join the party.  Apparently I am having a contest with myself to see how many inappropriate ball phrases I can jam into one blog post... looks like I am doing a bang up job.  Be sure to include where you got your necklace and as many outfit photos as you can!  Welcome to the party!
