I have no acceptable or even vaguely okay looking photos of myself from Blondie Boy's party or from his birthday lunch out. To be honest I didn't really wear anything exciting since it was a kid's party anyway. I did put an effort in to my outfit when we went out for Persian food for my SIL's birthday dinner on Sunday and in an even bigger twist of fate Blondie Boy and I BOTH looked cute at the same time (If you're a Mom you'll know this rarely happens--it's usually you or the kid--not both).
I'm not 100% on my skinny jeans with my ankle boots but I gave it a try to recreate the outfit I would have worn on New Year's Eve if we went out:
Blondie
Sequin Top- Loft
Skinny Jeans-Old Navy
Ankle Boots- New Look
Jacket-Zara
Blondie Boy
Skull Sweatshirt-Target
Plain Trousers-US Polo Association
Gym Shoes-Adidas
Fox Hat-ASDA
Blondie Boy has had these plaid pants forever but they've always been to big on him. They finally fit and I loved how they looked with his skull sweatshirt. A little preppy, a little punk and of course he through in his favourite fox hat for good measure.
I also tried out this thingy called a "donut quiff comb" I got at Claire's. I have no idea what it supposed to be used for but I used it like a "bump-it." My hair is really fine and obviously blonde and bump-its just don't stay put in my hair and you can see them through my hair so I thought maybe this quiff comb would work for a bit of volume when I pull my hair back. Luckily for me it totally worked. You can't see it really in this photo but to me that is a good thing because I didn't want to look like Snooki!
Do you have any crazy gadgets or random techniques you use to make your hair cute?

Firstly happy birthday wishes to blondie boy, he gets cuter by the day! you must be such a proud mama! and you look tres chic too, i really like the ankle boots and jeans combo, it looks great on you. Those jeans look like a great cut and fit. I do the no heat curl thing on my hair with a hair band to curl it, my hubs always says i look like a right wierdo with my hair band on to go to bed lol! xx
BB looks SO cool!!!!! (Mommy looks pretty funky too!) ;)
Glad you were late getting it up because I was late linking up! :)
You too both look adorable! Love his little skull sweater.
That is indeed a birthday bonanza! Oh I love both your outfits! So gorgeous sequined top which I am looking forward to getting myself too teeheeee! and your handsome son is really rocking that skully shirt.. :) Belated Happy Birthday little one! xo
That's a lot of birthdays! I love your outfit!

I've tried a bump it before with no luck! I may need to check this little gadget out!

Loving BB's look especially that fox hat. Hope he had a great birthday :)

Well isn't that a pretty little picture? Rachel with her hair all rolled up in a headband at bedtime. I quite like it! :)
Love the hat on BB
How many birthdays?! Aww you both look great. Loving BB's hat so cute and I think you totally rock the ankle boots with skinnies :-)
The donut quiff sounds interesting. I never did get into the whole "bump-it" thing but maybe this could be just the thing!
Happy birthday Blondie Boy! You both look lovely. I'm thinking that I need to add ankle boots to my wardrobe this year.. xx
I love the skull and plaid! That's adorable!
Such a gorgeous picture of you both. I like the look of that hair thing, I always used to use the bun ones for work. And I love blondie boy's fox hat - I was eyeing up a similar one for myself in Dotty P's the other day!
as ever you both look gorge! love some parties, me!
OMG...I am in love with little plaid pants!!!
You look great! Blondie Boy's preppy/punk look is super cute too :)
I love that sequin top, but I'll be honest, I think I might love BB's hat even more...haha.

You look wonderful, but I have to say Blondie Boy is just too adorable! I love the little skull sweatshirt with those plaid pants and his hat...precious!
Y'all look adorable!
I haven't used the quiff combs or hair donuts yet, but I also have fine hair. Maybe I should try it out! :)
your little one is so cute!! P.S. thank you for hosting this link up every week!

You both look great. I love my hair donut and use it all the time x
I'm loving his skull shirt! So cute!
Before I lopped all my hair off I used one of those donuts to make a bun. It was the best thing ever.
Super cute look and loving your little one's skull top!
I have the same problem with my hair (super fine), and a sock bun seems to do the trick.
You and the little guy look cute & happy. :)
I had to get a special blonde bun thingy because you could see the sock through my hair lol!
I got a wee blonde donut thingy for buns, too :)
Thanks! We got it at Target when we were home in November.
Mine only works when I've got dirty hair!
Aww thanks Tori!
Thanks Sara x
It is super cute and even better it was a freebie I got in an event goodie bag!
Thanks Chrissi!
I'm so glad they finally fit him :)
Thank you x
Do it!!!
Thanks Rebecca x
I'm really wearing them a lot!
I think it's a more subtle bump-it if that makes sense :)
I know right? We are swimming in birthdays over December/January! Thanks xx
It's so fun :)
I know I'm still not sure it's actual intended use!
Thanks Emily !
ASDA all the way on that one :) Thanks Laura x
Try it! I don't think that is what it is meant for but it worked :)
Thanks Kaye! Sometimes Disqus marks comments for me to moderate so that might have been it :)
We have birthday overload this time of year!
Thanks Alison :)
I totally had it in draft as well it as just an utterly insane day!
Ta lovely; I like to think he's a cool dude without being a pretentious hipster---however a 3 year old does that ;)
I've actually blogged about the no heat curl thing! It either only sorta works for me or I end up with CRAZY curls lol.
I feel like Rach would look way cuter than me when I do it :)
Thanks Danavee!
It's tough for me to tell from the photo, but I think you may have guessed correctly about it's intended use. I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWxgxVAqg3A&list=FLXQwJQkgAeEqVffJJbY01fQ&index=19 and the girl uses a thingie that looks very similar to poof her hair up (at 0:12). Maybe the same thing? If so, I kinda want one! :)
OMG I couldn't watch that whole video (I'm so impatient!) but I think you are right. There is another video where the girl does a sorta poofy faux hawk with one, too!
I love the little plaid pants and skull short. What a cute little preppy/punk rocker kid! And great news: you don't look like Snooki! I wish I had a hair secret. I usually throw on a newsboy type hat when I'm having a bad hair day and people tend to think it's part of the outfit. More stylish that a baseball cap and serves the same purpose.
