Guys. It’s freezing outside. Again!
I realize that I sound a bit like a broken record, because I’m constantly complaining about winter, but I can’t help myself. After all, we’re getting towards the end of February, and it’s been a rough one. February 2015 is (un)officially the coldest month on record in Toronto. It’s no wonder that I’m “over it!”
I’ve always been a warm weather girl, but since I’ve become a fashion blogger, my distaste of the cold weather has only grown. Winter and outfit photos aren’t exactly a match made in heaven (unless you’re sharing a look like this).
Every now and then, I’ll venture outside for a few minutes to take some photos. After all, I recently discovered Emily Valentine Jewelry, and I had to share! Aside from wanting to own everything in the collection, I love that everything is hand crafted here in Toronto. Her jewelry is all made with gorgeous combinations of natural stones and crystals, as well as mixed-metals. Think, “statement,” since each piece in the line is unique and edgy. Since receiving one of the necklaces from her new collection a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been wearing it almost daily.
I’d love to say that a gorgeous statement necklace can help us fight the winter blahs, but that’s probably not true. That said, it really cheered me up when my necklace arrived. Nothing some retail therapy can’t fix, right?

I’m always drawn to fashion that becomes a conversation piece, and jewelry is no exception. That necklace is so sharp looking!

Look at all that snow! It’s currently snowing here which hardly ever happens. Loving how you wore that blanket scarf! So gorgeous with all the layers.
xo,

Jackie says
I’ve heard about all of the snow you guys have been getting. I’d imagine it’s worse, just because you’re not as prepared for it as us.
Nikki says
Fabulous necklace! But you look like you need a much MUCH bigger coat!! Stay warm!

Trust me, I always wear the warm coat…but it would be pretty boring to photograph that in every post, right?
Melanie says
You make the snow look good girl! We’ve had an unusually warm winter here in Calgary.. it’s weird! I just know it won’t last, we will definately get winter 2.0 in April probs. Also, thanks for always commenting on my blog girl.. I appreciate it! 🙂
Jackie says
Yeah, I’ve heard about the warm weather out west….but I’ve also seen your crazy snowstorms that pop up super early or late in the season.
And of course – I love your blog!! 🙂
Tracy says
That is a great blanket scarf – can’t believe how many layers you have to wear (you poor freezing fashionista!) to stay warm! Cool necklace and jeans too 🙂

The layers are essential, but I do have more fun putting outfits together when more elements are involved. At least, that’s how I try to convince myself that winter in Canada isn’t all bad 😉
nat says
love the layering

Okay, so KC had ONE warm 50-degree day, and now we’re back in the single digits. I shouldn’t complain, because it’s better than nothing- but the spring tease is uncool! Ha!
I love this look, and that necklace is gorgeous! I have a weakness for gold jewelry. 🙂

Yuck, that’s almost worse because it’s like a tease!! I also have a weakness for gold jewelry. It’s a tough thing to resist 😉

The cold is sooo much harder as a fashion blogger. Loving your layers.
