win a kensie article of clothing

Outfit details: 
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.

a cottage sunset photo shoot!

This is what happens when three friends get together and the sun is setting perfectly at the beach....we decide to have a photo shoot. A cottage sunset photo shoot! 

This past weekend was a weekend filled with swimming, laughing, smells of bonfire, delicious food, sandy hair, and flea market finds. How was your weekend? I hope you got to enjoy this beautiful weather we have been having! 

Congratulations to Angela for winning the two handmade hair bows by Victoria.

a field full of sunflowers

Outfit Details:
Dress: Thrifted, The Sentamentalist, London ON
Belt: Mothers
Sweater: Grandmothers
Necklace: Handmade by me, Hattitude Jewellery 


I thought my neighbours farm field was the perfect place to take this photo since this outfit reminds me of a farm girls dress. It reminds me of Little House on the prairie a little. My boyfriend bought me it last week at a local thrift store in London, Ontario and I've been living in it ever since. It just is so easy to wear. I love it with a little yellow anchor necklace that I handmade from a vintage brooch. Summer is still here after all! 
My neighbours are the sweetest people and have a huge sunflower field and a beautiful wheat field. I was scouting out locations for my wedding creative shoot, that they have graciously allowed me to shoot in their backyard, that I am organizing for tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait for the shoot! I'm so excited to make some beautiful photos and create a love story through images. I am working with the very talented Samantha Hurley of samanthahurleyimaging.com photography. 

Follow me on facebook to see sneak peeks from our wedding creative tomorrow! 

Don't forget I am having a giveaway of two lovely handmade hair bows, by the lovely Victoria. Click here to see her facebook page for other cute hand sewn items. Check out the give away by Clicking here.

it's give away time!

Outfit details
Dress: Thrifted
Shoes: Winners
Earrings: Weezi, London, ON
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.

a vintage man's vest and a cute bow tie

Outfit details:
Dress: Frilly Lizard
Shoes: San Francisco
Vest: Vintage
Necklace: Handmade by me, Hattitude jewellery

This necklace is a faux leather bow tie, with a heart shaped pendant and an old vintage gold button on the necklace. I love this necklace. It's VERY unique and I usually get a lot of compliments on it. 
As for socks...Do you like the sock look that's been trending on the blogs lately? I love wearing knee highs or fun ankle socks! My boyfriend bought me some awesome socks, hamburger and french fries in love...pardon? AMAZING. I can't wait to sport them on the blog to show you. We had a lovely day walking around downtown where we live since he got the day off of work and it just so happened to turn into a BEAUTIFUL day. 

I hope you all have been enjoying your summers. It's been a few weeks since I've last posted. Summer time is SO busy. I went to two weddings last weekend. One of my second cousins got married and my boyfriend's sister got married. They were two of the most beautiful weddings. It really was a lovely lovely time. 

Follow me on instagram @hattitudejewels or my facebook page www.facebook.com/hattitudejewel to keep updated on wedding photos, outfits of the day, photos of my cat and manfriend, and the latest from my bridal boutique and online jewellery shop. 

Tuesday I am shooting a wedding creative in the sunflower fields by my house. I'm super excited to be collaborating with a wonderful photographer, Samantha Hurley. Check out her site here.

Here's some photos from Caledonstock. It's an outdoor music fundraiser to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. There was a prize for best dressed hippie and other fun games while listening to bands all night long! The beginning photos, the first collage and the last photo of Tristan and I were taken by the very talented Samantha Hurley. If you want to check out all the photos gathered from Caledonstock.

Samantha Hurley is SO talented and I feel very luck to be doing a wedding creative with her the middle of August this year. I'm super excited to shoot with her and add more photos to our portfolio!

I've had a busy last few days, saying good bye to my child hood best friend, Crystal as she continues her travels around the world. She has been gone for five years and plans to be gone for another two! I miss her dearly. She got married last weekend and I was lucky enough to stand up beside her as her third bridesmaid with her two sisters. I bawled tonight when I had to say good bye to her. She is off to singapore so hopefully I will get to visit her! 
I hope your weeks are going well and you are used to this strange temperature change we've had! See you soon Lady Bugs.
