Origami Owl - Living Lockets - Business Opportunity
Thursday, March 05, 2015
Last month I wrote a blog post all about Origami Owl, which is a fabulously successful jewellery company that just came to Canada! (click here to read the original post). What I love so much about Origami Owl is that the jewelry is completely customizable to become whatever you want! The options are endless! The Origami Owl locket I am wearing in this blog post is filled with a hot air balloon charm and a bottle of wine charm and I love the way the charms dance around when you move!

Can you believe this company was started by Bella Weems at the age of 14 with only $350 dollars that she earned from babysitting and she decided to start a small business with the money. The company last year was named by Forbes Business magazine as the #3 Direct sales company in America!

I don't think there is anything more Canadian to wear than the classic stripes from the Hudson's Bay Company and everyone who lives here knows what they are. The Hudson Bay Company will be turning 345 years old this year being founded in 1670 and I love how far their beautiful iconic stripes have come! I have always wanted to own a piece of clothing from the HBC Signature collection and now I finally have a piece thanks to my wonderful mom! She bought me this beautiful cardigan to wear while traveling and flying on a plane as she wanted me to be stylish but completely comfortable as well! What I love about the cardigan is it can be worn open or you can wear it closed with the large removable safety pin closure. I chose to wear it open to show off my perfectly matched outfit! I think this cardigan would look equally as lovely over a simple casual short black dress as well. The options are endless!
What is something special that you waited a long time to own?

Swan Sweater - Anthropologie Love
Wednesday, February 18, 2015
Anthropologie opened a store a few months ago in my city of Winnipeg in a new wing of our Polo Park mall. As soon I stepped inside the store I was hooked. I mean I knew the store existed before and I occasionally clicked on a link from a blog that lead me to the website but I wasn't completely captured until I actually went into the store. The design of the store itself is so beautiful, I swear I could just live there and the clothing is so gorgeous! The only thing about Anthropologie is that there is a lot of items that are online exclusives only such as this beautiful swan sweater from Rosie Neira that I am wearing. I seriously stalked the website everyday until I finally took the plunge to buy it when it was on sale! When I finally got my hands on the sweater and put it on it was just as perfect as I imagined! Definitely one of the most unique sweaters I have ever seen and I am so happy to own it! I think I liked this sweater so much because it reminded me a little of the swan dress Bjork wore to the Academy Awards in 2001. Does anyone else remember that crazy fun dress?!

Origami Owl Jewelry & Giveaway
Saturday, February 07, 2015
What I love so much about blogging is that I get to discover new amazing products and brands and I get to share them with my fabulous readers!
The brand I am so excited to tell you about is called Origami Owl! Have you heard of it? This brand is very new to Canada, being launched here just a few days ago and I am sure you will love the jewelry as much as I do! Just read below to learn all about this fabulous company!
Last year Origami Owl was named by Forbes Business magazine as the #3 Direct sales company in America! The founder Bella Weems (now only 18 years old!) was named as Entrepreneur of the Year by the Direct Sellers Association of America!
Wonder how this is all is possible? Well four years ago Bella Weems at the age of 14 had $350 dollars that she earned from babysitting and decided to start a small business so she ordered some charms, chains and lockets from a supplier in China. The jewelry was so popular that she sold out in days, she reordered some supplies and decided to set up shop in a mall kiosk. In 2012 she expanded the business to direct sales and changed suppliers to a higher grade of jewelry.
If you are looking for REAL jewelry, look no further! Origami Owl is now in Canada! Their lockets, chains, lanyards are made from sterling silver or 18 karat or rose gold electroplated over sterling silver. It is all coated with rhodium for a lasting glow! Origami Owl also has an exclusive contact with Swarovski Crystals! Their lockets are truly customized as you purchase your locket and chain separately - to suit your personal style!
Would you love to be a part of this fabulous company! Origami Owl is currently looking for 4 designers in Winnipeg, Manitoba as well as more all throughout Manitoba including Brandon, Selkirk, Portage La Prairie, Churchill and so many more towns and cities. Please send all email inquiries to Madeline at Madeline@canadaowlnest.com. Let her know that you heard about this opportunity on my blog!
If you don't live in Manitoba or in Canada you can still be an Origami Owl designer in your own town or city! Just email Madeline at Madeline@canadaowlnest.com and she will get your request to the right person. Great opportunity for a home based business!
Origami Owl is sold directly or at parties, offices or fundraisers but retail outlets such as hair salons, vintage consignment stores, etc., can use the 'Mobile Jewelry Bars' to display their samples to take orders. Just email Madeline at Madeline@canadaowlnest.com for information on ordering or any other inquiries.

Unexpected Souvenir - Tatyana Blossom Coat
Thursday, January 22, 2015
When I take a vacation I am always looking for the perfect souvenir to bring home with me to remind myself of my wonderful trip. I am not one for bringing home logo t-shirts of the places I have visited (not that there is anything wrong with that) but that is just not my style. I usually get a piece of jewelry and I did this time as well, a carved cameo ring from the cameo factory in Honduras and I will be showing that piece to you in an upcoming blog. I decided this blog is all about the fabulous coat I purchased In Tampa, Florida in a store called Tatyana. Walking by the store I was drawn to the vintage looking clothing in the window. I found this coat near the back of the store and the minute I saw it I knew I needed it! It is full of color and the pattern is so unique! I purchased it immediately and it made me so happy that it was on sale as well! What made me laugh is that it is a winter coat and that is something I would not expect to buy in a warm place! I knew it was perfect for me and perfect for the winter back home here in Canada! This coat was an unexpected treasure to find in an unexpected place!
Have you ever found something to buy that was very unexpected?
