Beach cover up: Kensie clothing 

YOU COULD WIN A PIECE OF KENSIE CLOTHING

Necklace: handmade by me, Hattitude jewellery

Do you like this beach cover up? You could win it! 

I was offered to do a review for Kensie clothing and I was thrilled to do one! I must say I am very happy with this beach cover up. I LOVE that is has sleeves on it to protect me from the sun. It is light and comfortable and I think looks great with all my bright bathing suits. I am just so impressed with this cover up. It's really lovely. I like the details of the tied bow on the legs, the pocket and I just seriously love how it has longer sleeves instead of straps to help keep me sun protected. It's so hard to find beach cover ups that have sleeve caps on them. 

Kensie told me I could give a beach cover up away as well! Or anything else you want from this site. Click here and enter the password SOMETHING PRETTY. If you win you can choose ANYTHING on the site. Enter using the form below and next friday I will announce the winner. 

p.s. it's now SUPER easy to enter my giveaways. I found a cool site that makes it easy for you to click and takes the work out of it, making it more likely YOU will win a piece of clothing from Kensie. 

Enjoy and good luck.

Dress: Thrifted

Shoes: Winners

Earrings: Weezi, London, ON

Hairbow: Handmade by Victoria Speirs

Necklace: Handmade by me, Hattitude jewels

I love my hair bow. I think these hair bows are the perfect thing to throw on to complete an outfit. You know me, I am always one to accesorize rather then spend a fortune on a dress. I like to spend my money on accessorizing and I think hair clips and jewelry are the perfect item to do just that with. 

It's been over a year I think since I posted a give away. This is the lovely Victoria Speirs she makes beautiful hand sewn items and specializes in baby blankets, burpies, pretty much all things babies! She is so talented and if you have not checked out her FB page where she sells all things handmade, including wedding buntings. She is really is a jack of all trades and I LOVE seeing her posts pop up on my facebook home feed. She is such a talent to the handmade community!

Here's how to win these awesome hair bows, similar to the one she made me in my outfit post above. 

1. Like Victoria on her facebook page (trust me you won't regret it, her posts are always insanely adorable!) Click here.

Sweater: Boot legger

Skirt: Thrifted, Bolton, Chez Thrift

Belt: H&M

Shirt: Urban Outfitters

Necklace: Hattitude Jewellery

How this outfit came to be Hattified: I started with the blue skirt, paired with the blue top was boring all as one matchy poo outfit. I threw on the skinny mustard belt, because a skirt without a belt is no outfit t'all. The sweater happened to match perfectly to the belt. Thus you have two matchy poo outfits blue and mustards becoming one Hattified outfit. The necklace just tied the whole outfit together and is the beginning of my new summer line :) 

What do you think of my new line of jewellery? 

Why this outfit works: I think blue and mustard goes famously together. The skinny belt is not over powering and ties in the sweater. The white bows make this outfit springy. 

Another version: Wear a plain white t-shirt and a navy braid belt. Don't forget your Hattitude necklace. 

It was a warm breeze in Vancouver today. I bought the book Half Blood Blues for book club next month. Has anyone read the book? It's set in the 1940's about a black, german, jazz, musician from Paris. 

We seem to be having a theme at book club lately, of Paris during the war years. Last month it was The Paris Wife. Did anyone read that? It was a little slow in the middle, but the beginning and ending were quite good. 

Have you entered my Giveaway. I'm announcing the winner Friday! Win the necklace below! Click here

mountain nomad

There has been nothing like Whistler, in these whole 3 months on the west coast. Snow tubing yesterday, Boarding today, zip lining tomorrow... mountain gazing for the rest of my life.

Will post more photos when I'm back in Vancouver. 

Whistler is now one of my favourite places...if not my most favourite place in Canada, with a close tie for first place, in the world. :) 

Maybe I should just become a mountain nomad for the rest of my years. I don't even mind the snow when it's like that...on a mountain top surrounded by more and more and more mountains. 

Have a great rest of the week

Guest Post Blogger: Ana

Hello Hattitude readers! My name is Ana from the lovely little blog AnaCloud! I am so thrilled to be writing a guest post for Hattie.  I hope you all enjoy.

Where should I even start? There seems to be so much to write but it is hard to get it all out! I guess I shall tell you where I am from.  I am a girl living under the sunny blue skies in the suburbs just North of Los Angeles in Southern California.  I have been a California girl my whole life and I don't know if I could ever leave! Living on the West Coast has made me lucky enough to have fashion in my life for a long time.  It is one of my greatest joys in life; waking up and deciding what in the world am I going to adorn myself in! And that is why I have created my blog AnaCloud.  It is a lovely way for me to share with you all of the ideas I come up with from my closet.

Here is a little bit more fun stuff about me.  I can't start the day without my coffee fix; sometimes I'm afraid I'm killing myself with the amount of coffee I drink! I have two adorable puppies (well they are about 2 years old, that's still puppy age right? ;) ) that we adopted.  

I love art history and just art in general. I sometimes fantasize about living in museums. I'm also very thankful that I live so close to LA and so many extraordinary museums!  

I also do a lot of my own artwork.  It is hard right now though, because I am so busy with school and blogging! But you can visit my Etsy to order your own personal piece that I will create for you!  

I also love thrifting and finding diamonds in the ruff! It is so thrilling to find a piece with so much history and to be able to revive the piece! That is why I have started my own little online vintage shop called AnaCloud Vintage! I'm sure you'll find something you like! You can actually buy this fantastic little black dress that I'm wearing at my shop! 

Well I guess this is goodbye.. for now! Don't be afraid to come on over to my blog and say hello! I absolutely love hearing from my readers! Hope you had as much fun reading this post as I did writing it!

Love, Ana

Outfit:

Dress: Vintage, buy at AnaCloud Vintage

Blouse: Thrifted

Belt: Vintage Brighton

Flower Pin: c/o Young Alumni

Shoes: Deena & Ozzy from Urban Outfitters

Thanks so much Ana for writing a guest post for me. I'm currently up in Whistler, getting my skiing, boarding, walking, hiking, snow tubing, zip lining and winter on. 


Thanks Ana girl! See you all back here on friday when I'm back down from the mountain :)
