Though this picture didn’t show up on Instagram, I am so excited to share with you an affordable DIY Christmas gift for friends and relatives. I have been looking at blanket scarves for so long now and just can’t get myself to spend the $30 to $40 for one. Then, one night I thought…I bet I could MAKE one of those! Sure enough, Pinterest delivered. I used a tutorial from The DIY Mommy, here. I stopped by Jo-Ann Fabrics when they had a sale and ended up creating 4 of these for a little under $10 each.

I used 41″ flannel fabric. This one works well but it would be nice if it was a little bigger. Blanket scarves are typically 55″ x 55″.

Next time I will use wider fabric. On Fabric.com there are some great 56″ options. See here, here and here.

Here is a way I wore that scarf on Instagram.

The skirt I’m wearing in this picture is also a great Christmas buy. Chicwish ships internationally so it takes a little longer to ship but it has great quality and styles. If you order from them, make sure to read the reviews. Most of the time you want to size up! I’m wearing a Large in this picture.

Well, photos just didn’t happen this week – but that’s ok! There are so many things I’ve been scouring the internet for and sale-stalking that I thought I’d share a few of those. Over the last few weeks, my most searched items have been 1) Gray Floppy Hats 2) Over the Knee Boots and 3) Ponchos.

My floppy hat search was very successful. I love the gray color because it goes with so much without being overly bold like a black hat. I love red, but the reality is, it can only be worn with so many outfits, whereas gray can be worn with almost any outfit. I eventually purchased the one featured above but there are a lot of other great options, which I will link below in the widget.

It seems like every blogger I follow is posting pictures of the many different ways to wear suede over the knee boots. But the ones they buy are way out of my price range. So, I did some searching and trying on and found these. I love the way the heels look and they fit over my wider calves, always a plus! The other set featured above I have not tried, but I love the thicker heel.

Finally, I have had what seems like an endless search for the perfect fall poncho/blanket scarf. Some are too long and others don’t quite fit right. I’ve found one that I’m keeping my eye on for the holiday season but then yesterday at Target I found this beauty. The colors are the perfect fall colors and fit my coloring wonderfully. Within 2 days of finding this, it is already unavailable online. So check your local store and snatch it up quick!

Other than that, I’ve just been craving warmth and comfort, hence the sweaters and candles. With the chill starting to bite outside, there’s nothing better than wrapping up in a cozy sweater and lighting some spicy fall candles. Keep your eye out for sales at Bath and Body Works. Their candles are almost always on sale and then when you add a coupon on top of the sale, they are totally worth the price.

I hope these picks helped inspire you. What are you loving and sale-stalking this season?
