Friday's Fancies - Blog Swap.

Hello.  Hello.  Hello.  Today is my favorite day of the week FRIDAY and that means it's Fashion Friday and Friday's Fancies

It's Heather here from ...this & that... and I'm taking over Shannon's blog today!  Shannon's over at my blog today.  My blog is a lifestyle blog that covers a little bit of everything...hence, the name ...this & that...  It originally began a little over 2 years ago to chronicle my travel planning for my very first trip to Europe.  However, it has "morphed" quite a bit since then.  Let's see what do I blog about?  Travel, life (and I'm "newly" single gal so, upcoming posts will include my re-introduction into dating scene), laughter and little tidbits about ...this & that...  Oh, and let's not forget my creative side...I make note cards and knit scarves...my etsy shop Blondie's Shop.  Alright, enough about me let's get on with today's "Fancies".

Shannon and I are both taking part in the blog swap by Alison over at {long distance loving}.  I'm very excited to see what all of you wonderful follower's of Shannon's blog Eat, Pray, Love...LIVE think of my fabulous outfit choice for today.  By the way, I want to give a special shout out to Shannon and let her know it's been a pleasure getting to know her better (through this wonderful community of blogging) and by swapping blogs with her today.  I really enjoy the blogging world and the truly wonderful virtual friends I've made and the one's I have met in person too!  Shannon's a wonderful gal and I'm glad I met her.

Today's outfit is inspired by my trip to the Windy City this weekend.  You see I live in Phoenix and headed to Chicago last night for a bit of fun with friends and family!  However, I will say that I grew up here in the suburbs of Chicago so I am no stranger to the Windy City.  Anyhow, on with the outfit...  You see I am truly inspired by the chilly weather and I was hoping for a "white-out" but, I'm very sad to say it's not going to happen.  Yes, coming from the Valley of the Sun I was seriously hoping for a bunch of snow.  Bunches!  I love the snow.  Hence, today's themed outfit.

The look for today is not my own creation but does depict something that is "me".  I'm going for a white look with a "hint" of color.  And of course I needed an absolutely fabulous pair of white boots and coordinating bag.  Can you say yes?  I'd love for the fashion fairy to drop this sassy outfit in my closet (hint, hint).  Don't hesitate to leave a comment for the fashion fairy as well...you never know if the "fairy" is reading. 

Have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend!  Do share your fun plans...?  I'm spending the day with my Auntie Karen and we are heading to Portillo's for lunch.  Yum!  I plan on spending the weekend with my bestie and her family.

Don't forget to head over to {long distance loving} and check out what all of the other blogger's have put together for today!  And you can see Shannon's outfit over at ...this & that...
