Fjallraven Backpack + UO Giveaway

When I visited Paris last Fall, I noticed lots of Parisians and many travelers wearing a certain kind of backpack.

Of course, I had to find out this backpack that everyone in Europe seemed to own. I tried to be sly as a peered over at my neighbor's bag while we waited for our connecting flight. 

The backpack that everyone seemed to be sporting was from Fjallraven. I hadn't heard of them before, but now I see them everywhere!

A few stand-out qualities about this backpack:

• Photographers will love this insert I spotted for cameras, lenses and flashes
• Made of durable polyvinyl
• Roomy main zip compartment (I couldn't believe how much I packed in here for a photoshoot!)
• Easily accessible front + side pockets
• Adjustable woven shoulder straps made for comfortable carrying.

So now the fun news - Urban Outfitters is giving away an incredible trip along with a Fjallraven backpack filled with amazing goodies. Enter here!

• 1 North America Winner + 1 Friend
• 1 Week Stay in Stockholm Sweden + Flight and Hotel Covered
• $1K UO Shopping Spree

Raw Hem + Denim Giveaway!

You know that piece of clothing you own that’s kind of like you’re lucky number? Maybe it’s a dress that you’ve celebrated your favorite moments in or maybe it’s a special scarf that you inherited from your grandmother (I have one of these!) These items are things we hold dear to our heart - not because it’s just something we like, but because we’ve created meaning for it.

And when I cleaned out my closet last year (Marie Kondo’s method is NO JOKE), I vowed only to keep the things I loved. Well, getting rid of 2/3 of the things I had left a few open holes in my closet that I was excited to fill.

One thing I realized I needed was a silk blouse. I have this one from Equipment (which is such a staple and I LOVE IT), but I wanted something not-so-basic…a fancier, more unique version of the classic must-have. Then I found the blouse of my dreams.

THIS is my lucky blouse. I wear it with these wide-legged trousers to uber important meeting, with jeans for fun brunch dates with my best girls and with a statement skirt for to evening events. I’m not gonna lie - it wasn’t cheap. But Sandro knows how to make a top you’ll love forever. I bought mine 6 months ago and I still have butterflies when I wear it. THAT’S how you know.

Another thing I realized I needed are light-wash jeans. There MAY have been a period of time where I exclusively wore dark-wash flares ONLY. Now I'm finding all these amazing kinds of jeans and have been developing a minor obsession. Last week, when a new pair arrived in the mail, my husband was like, "Don't you have a pair of jeans like that?" My response? "Those were light-wash, these are MEDIUM wash, are slightly more distressed with a raw hem." Totally not the same. The pair I'm wearing here were found on Fitcode, literally the best way to find jeans. (Talked about it here!)

If you're as into finding the perfect pair of denim you can obsesses over as me, you're in luck!! I'm giving away a FREE pair of denim from Fitcode (which carries my fave brands like Citizens of Humanity, PAIGE denim, FRAME, J.Brand and more!) Enter below by February 28! Part of the entry asks you to find your Fitcode Number - you can do that here! Good luck!

Wearing Sandro blouse (similar), Paige Denim via FitCode c/o, Old Navy shoes c/o, Achro jacket, Coach bag (similar), Sophie Blake bracelet.

The ODIVO + Sophie Blake Giveaway

Oh happy day! It’s time for a giveaway!!

I’m partnering up with two of my favorite small businesses, Sophie Blake NY and The ODIVO to give away a silk scarf with - wait for it - DONUTS ON IT! (ALICIA ARE YOU READING THIS?) It's normally $135 and you can pick between the orange or the black one! Silk scarves have been such a hot commodity this season and my go-to for jazzing up an outfit (as my coworker would say.) You’ve seen how much I love The ODIVO (I wore this dress from their shop earlier this week and I’m obsessed with this tee I wore a couple months ago on here!)

I’m also giving away these insanely beautiful rose gold bar earrings from my babe Sophie Blake! And even though I don’t like to play favorites, Sophie Blake is, hands down, my favorite jewelry company, ever. She makes her pieces by hand and she’s so in-tune with making jewelry that stands out, but is also super wearable. I wore this style constantly while I was in New York and am so excited for someone to win them!

Entering is supes easy - just fill out the items below in the Rafflecopter! I’ll be choosing a winner on Christmas Eve! Good luck!!
