Victoria Camp Designs Giveaway!

I'm having a wonderful time up north. It's cold and beautiful and the only thing that could make it better would be some fluffy white snow! Cole and I snapped these photos this morning for today's awesome Victoria Camp Designs map locket giveaway. The lovely Victoria contacted me a few weeks ago and wondered if I might be interested in one of her custom map lockets. I of course said, "Yes, please!" and since Boston holds a very special place in my heart, I chose that for my map's location. Speaking of locations, I couldn't have asked for a better Boston-inspired-nautical-looking backdrop than Torch Lake to compliment my preppy attire. :) And the best news of all is that one of my very lucky readers will get the chance to win a custom locket of their own!

To Enter- visit the shop and leave a comment:

1) with a link of your favorite item from Victoria's shop

2) follow Victoria on Facebook or Twitter

3) leave a way for me to contact you

Open to all readers. Giveaway ends December 26th at 11pm est. Good Luck!

Holiday Look No.2: Follow me in merry measure

Cole is finally home!! It feels so wonderful to have him with me again! Those 14 days apart were torture. Now that Cole's back, I get to shoot more Holiday Looks! Yesterday we went to the beautiful Cranbrook campus to take photos among the exquisite statues. I was freezing my booty off and trying not to look too disgruntled. We're leaving in a few minutes to head up north to my parents' cottage, where we'll spend a blissful week all alone!

Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!

Holiday Look No.1: A Mink and a Kiss

It's so nice to be back in Michigan! I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was to venture back to my old favorite boardwalk and do this shoot! As much as I'm loving our new home, I have yet to find spots as beautiful as my favorites in Michigan. This shoot is also very special to me since it's the first in my third annual Holiday Look series and I'm wearing my lovely vintage (and freshly cleaned) mink coat!

I dropped Cole off at the airport on Saturday and miss him sooo much already! I can't believe he's going to be gone for 14 days but I'm excited that he has this opportunity to travel to Asia even if it is a business trip. He's currently in Hong Kong, then he heads to Tokyo and lastly to Shanghai. Whew. As much as I miss him, I'm having a splendid time hanging with my mom (since my dad is also in China on business) and eating lovely homemade banana muffins!

Photos by me & Cole. Thanks, darling!
