THE RETURN OF THE TURTLENECK


Love it or hate it, turtlenecks have made a BIG comeback. I personally haven't bought one yet (trying to avoid buying clothes for awhile!) BUT I definitely want one. They're cozy and look great under a leather or canvas jacket.

So what do you think? Are you into the turtleneck trend or are you not buying it?

BLANKET SCARVES

The weather is cool, the leaves are crisp and the pumpkin spice lattes are flowing...why hello favourite fashion season! There are a few fall staples which I'm a huge fan of...ankle boots, leather jacket and the blanket scarf. I was a gifted a beautiful blanket scarf from my besties for my bday and I wear it all the time. I love how versatile they are....scarf, cape, legit blanket! 
Here are a few of my favourites...

Blanket Scarves for Fall!

BLAZERS 4 UGANDA


Blazers 4 Uganda

Have you heard of Ethreeone? It's a blog designed to empower women in the professional world through fashion. My friend Brina started it and she has a super exciting campaign that I so want to get behind it! 

Blazers 4 Uganda

Brina is going to Uganada in September to help with Watoto's, Living Hope. Living Hope is an amazing initiative that exists to restore dignity into Africa's most vulnerable women. 

So before Brina leaves to Uganda she has an exciting initiative: BLAZERS 4 UGANDA. She is collecting gently used blazers to bless those women with blazers. I love it. These blazers are a small but powerful gesture to remind women in Africa that there are women in Canada who believe in them! If you are in Victoria, Brina is collecting blazers until August 26th and then she'll be heading to Calgary before she heads out. So if you're from Victoria or Calgary and have a gently used blazer to donate, email Brina at bmartens@ethreeone.com and make sure you check out her blog post all about it!

I'm so excited to donate some blazers and guess what? Brina will be snapping pics of the beautiful African women in them, so you can see which future world changer is wearing your blazer!

So excited for you Brina!!
