EIA's Great Jetaway Contest!

It's January. We're all paying off our credit cards from Christmas, it's cold outside, there's snow on the ground and you're probably thinking, "I could use a tropical vacation right about now!" Or maybe your parents, sister or best friend would love to get away and have never been anywhere outside of chilly Canada? Well lucky for everyone, I've teamed up with Edmonton International Airport to bring you a contest that could send one of your loved ones on an ultimate vacation (valued at $10,000.00!) to wherever their heart desires -  New York, or London or even balmy Bora Bora which sounds SO nice right about now! It's easy to enter:

Palmer's Anti-Itch Skincare Package and a Giveaway!

Pregnancy comes with a whole lot of symptoms - some nice (glowing skin, shiny hair, bigger b**bs!) and some not-so-nice (nausea, swollen legs, sore back, itchy skin). I remember one day back in December, my belly was sooooo itchy from it being stretched, I was scratching all day long (it was so hard NOT to) and I felt like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. And it only got worse at night. I thought to myself, "Dear God, I need some relief! Or else I'm going to scratch 'til I bleed!" Luckily Palmer's Anti-Itch Skincare Package came into my life just in time or else I'd STILL be digging my fingernails into my flesh ; )

What is your definition of the Canadian Tuxedo? To me, it's all about denim on (non-matching) denim but for some, a Canadian Tuxedo can mean a pair of boyfriend jeans and a hockey jersey, after all it's called a Canadian tuxedo and Canada and hockey go hand in hand, am I right? ; )  Whatever your version is, Stylicity wants to see it! Show us what you think the next Canadian Tuxedo should be and you could win a $2000.00 pre-paid MasterCard gift card. All you have to do is hashtag your photo with #Stylicity on Twitter or Instagram to enter! For rules and regulations click here. The winner will be announced November 4th! Good luck!

(I usually don't post this many pics of one outfit but Harvey did such a good job with the photos that I just had to! He found this abandoned television set in the middle of nowhere. It's probably still there.)

Good news for Canadians! Vince Camuto is coming to our homeland this fall with a complete life-style collection including footwear, ready to wear, handbags, jewelry and sunglasses! To celebrate, they are sponsoring a contest called Step-Up & Style and I'm a part of it! If you like my outfit I would so appreciate it if you would vote for me and 'Like' my look on the Vince Camuto Facebook page between August 7th and 13th. Four winners from across Canada will be chosen based on the amount of 'Likes' they have as well as their creativity and how well the look reflects the Vince Camuto design aesthetic. The prize? A generous gift card to Vince Camuto. So if you'd like to vote for me please do so here! Thanks so much! I will love you forever ; ).

How was your weekend? We had a long weekend here in Canada and I spent most of it at my family's cabin at the lake. It was so relaxing and we spent a few hours cruising on my Aunt's pontoon boat, basking in the sunshine. D. caught two fish but the animal-lover in me convinced him to release them ; ).

Have a great week!
