Exchange on Germain Blogger Challenge



 

 

Exchange on Germain is a mid- to high end fashion consignment shop located in the heart of uptown Saint John.  I am so excited to be participating in their blogger challenge.  The challenge was to visit their shop and put together an outfit that costs around $100.  It was so much fun to go in and put together a look as they only have one of everything (a great thing about shopping consignment- you end up with a unique look each time!).  The blogger that receives the most votes (by liking their photo on Facebook) will win a $50 gift certificate for themselves as well as a $50 gift certificate to give away to one of their readers!  My look is posted on their Facebook page.  Here is my look that I created for $90.50!

Skirt - French Connection || Top - Pilco & the letterpress || Shoes & Bag - Nine West

 

If you have a second I would really appreciate your vote!  Here is the link to my photo and be sure to like it for your vote to count!  Voting ends June 27th.  Thanks for your support!  Also a huge thanks to Emma for snapping my photo!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend in the sun!

Busy Times

This past week has been crazy busy!  I have been itching to get a blog post up but time just wasn't on my side this week.  Last weekend we hosted a small East Coast Blogger conference here in the city (so much fun- more on that in a later post) and we are now getting into exams and graduation mode at school.  I just wanted to pop in with this outfit post from a few weeks back.

 

I first wore this blouse on the blog here back in March, and I am sure this isn't the last you will see of it!  Next I want to try pairing it with a skirt for a more breezy feel.  This outfit also provided the perfect opportunity to wear my Ring from Birdie Girl Creations.  I was in a homemade swap with the lovely Susan and she made me this ring.  She also made an adorable one for my little girl.  You can check out her creations on facebook.

 

The photos from above were from a day full of running errands with my little girl (hence the flats) and hubby.  Also, we finally got our driveway fixed!  So no more muddy backgrounds in my photos!  Hope you are having a great week!

Jerry's Leather & Crafts

Today I am so happy to introduce to you Jerry's Leather and Crafts!  They are a cute little shop that carries everything from jewellery, to coasters, to coffee cozies!  Read on to learn more about them and enter to win 2 pairs of earrings!

Tell us a little about your shop:

My husband has always been creative, and first started doing leatherwork in high school and college, but once we got married and had kids, time seemed to be in short supply - so the leatherworking took a back seat until a couple of years ago when he decided to start up again. He ventured into jewelry making a few months ago. I had seen some wire wrapped bead bracelets in a store, but none of them were the right size for me, so I asked him if he could make one. He did, I loved it, and got compliments every time I wore it. That was enough to make me wonder what it would be like to have afacebook page where he could offer his leathercrafts and jewelry for sale - so, Jerry's Leather and Crafts was started a few months ago. Thanks for checking us out!

Prize: Two pair of leather earrings, 1 inch in diameter

NOTE:  Giveaway is open only to those with a US mailing address.

Orange and pink are quickly becoming a favorite combo of mine.  I love the contrast of these two colours together.  I purchased this great little dress a few weeks ago at H&M, and am so glad I did!  It is going to get lots of wear!  The pink cardigan was actually purchased 2 years ago at H&M in Las Vegas; I love it when I have things in my closet for a while that work with new pieces!  So great to get so much wear out of items!  These photos as you can see were taken a couple of weekends ago as it was super sunny and warm, last weekend was so rainy here I thought it would never stop!  This weekend the weather is looking better though! 

 

Hope you are all having a great week and don't forget to enter the $50 Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Nautical Notions

Joules boat neck dress / C. Wonder nylon tote bag / Coach jewelry/ Red jewelry / Anchor ring / Sperry Top-Sider Audrey Slip-On Color Pop Boat Shoe

Last fall my husband and I travelled with our little girl down to Skowhegan, Maine to look at a boat.  We had been on my brother in laws in the summertime and loved it!  Boats were much more affordable in the states so this trip was very exciting for us, since we ended up loving the boat!  We bought it and it sat in our yard all winter and we just couldn't wait to get in it!  Well my husband and dad tried to get it going but it just wouldn't start.  So right now as we wait for it to get repaired, I figured I need to get my boating outfit together for when we do have it back :).   I am loving all things navy and with stripes this season!  The dress above with that wide band of yellow is the perfect combination of nautical and bright colours.  What are your favorite nautical pieces?
