Spring Swap LookBook Shoot

Last Sunday I helped out with a photo shoot for the upcoming Spring Swap with The SWAP Team.  The SWAP Team invited a few bloggers to put together some outfits for a LookBook of some of the items that will be available at the Swap. We all also brought a bunch of our own clothes for the swap and added them to the pile of items to style for the shoot. It was so much fun working with Elle and Fela of Calgary Fashion, Necole of The Creative Mixx and Glorife of Fashionsign Magazine. Thank you Vanessa and The SWAP Team for having me at the shoot! I can't wait for the swap event on June 3rd!

Bloggers Do it Better: Red

Yesterday was Family Day in Alberta, and it was a pretty good day. I've been trying to get into running so I went to the gym with my brother, then later JP and I went over to my parents house for a family dinner. One year ago yesterday was also when JP and I left with our closest friends and family for our wedding in Cabo! I can't believe that we will have been married for one year at the end of this week! 

The Bloggers Do It Better Challenge this time around was to wear something red in light of Valentine's Day last week. I've owned this skirt for a while now, but never know what to wear it with so I thought that this style challenge would be a good opportunity to try it out. 

Outfit Details
American Eagle jean jacket
Forever 21 sweater
H&M red pencil skirt
Joe Fresh tights and socks
thrifted boots

Bloggers Do It Better: Military Chic

I've been wanting to participate in bloggers do it better for a while now, but I kept missing every challenge! I've been basically stalking Kristina's blog (Pretty Shiny Sparkly) for the past few months now, and finally, a new bloggers do it better challenge came up a few days ago! The challenge, style up a military inspired item. I didn't really have too much to choose from in my closet. An army green t-shrit, tights and jacket were pretty much my choices. I decided to go with the jacket. 

And here are some other outfits I wore this jacket with in the past. I actually find this shade of green to be so versatile, and I wear this jacket often. The nice part is that it also has a detachable fur collar, but somehow I have not managed to photography that yet. Next time I guess. 

It's Elementary | Pumpkin Pie | Flames | Suede | Layers and Clouds
