CANADIAN TUXEDO + A GIVEAWAY

Madewell Chambray Shirt // Paige Denim Fiona Flare Jeans // Annabel Ingall Isabella Large Tote (all colors here) // Bella Beads Studio Necklace & Bracelet // Aldo Leopard Pumps (similar here)

Ohhh the Canadian tuxedo... I've been wanting to try this look for a while now. Something I saw on Pinterest inspired me, and I decided to go for it. I love how the two different shades of denim really break the outfit up so it doesn't look like I'm wearing a denim jumpsuit. The bright orange tote and gorgeous horn necklace definitely help to liven it up a bit too.

Speaking of the necklace... it's this week's giveaway! All you have to do is follow the directions to enter below, and make sure you visit the Bella Beads Studio Etsy page. The winner will be chosen this Sunday!

Holy snow, right? It was snowing so insanely hard during our photo shoot, that we had a hard time taking photos where snowflakes weren't covering my face! I love it though, as crazy as that sounds. I love the Winter - the fresh, clean look of snow, and how peaceful and quiet everything seems after a snow fall. There's nothing like it. The part I hate about the Winter is the bitter cold, the ice, and the brown ugly stuff that comes after the snow settles. Every season has its perks and its downfalls though, so you have to take it as it comes. Funny how that can relate to life... everyone has the good, the bad, and even the ugly times, but as long as you can stop and appreciate the beautiful parts (like the calm before the storm, the quiet during a snow fall, or the freshness of the air after rainfall), then you'll be able to overcome anything.

This week has been insanely hectic, so much so that I didn't even have time to create a post yesterday! Sorry for the absence... I will do my best to keep up this week. Hopefully things slow down soon.

Isn't this necklace so gorgeous? I love the crystal detail (which is actually the clasp of the necklace). It's such a versatile piece... you can wear it like I am doing so here, double it up, or even wrap it around as a bracelet. It's not available on the Bella Beads Studio page right now, but it's for sale, so either message me or the owner (Kris) here! If you haven't already entered the giveaway for another gorgeous Bella Beads necklace, make sure you do so HERE!

I hope you're all having a great Wednesday!
