Review // Lunai Jewelry

I am so excited about this post because I absolutely love my new earrings from Lunai Jewelry! I have literally been alternating between both pairs every single day. I find them to be those minimalist pieces you can't live without now. I highly recommend having a look at Lunai Jewelry's Etsy shop to see all their other styles! Best part too, is the affordable price these earrings are at!

Feature // Fashion Stylist Sara Haney

Photographer: Shannon McCabe

Sara and I met through my very first fashion show with Evelynn by Nicole Snobelen and have been either going to fittings for photo shoots or working together to put photo shoots together! She is literally the sweetest person I have ever met and has a great eye for her career in fashion.

I really wanted Sara to collaborate with Fresh Collidings as she is one of my daily fashion inspirations and I was so happy when she agreed to write an article for me!

"Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak". I couldn't have said it any better than my inspiration, world famous stylist and fashion mogul, Rachel Zoe. My name is Sara Haney, but some people know me as Blondehanes. I am a 21 year old freelance stylist, paving my way through the world of fashion. Learning all of the aspects, from design to modelling, and trying to have my hand in anything fashion related. London living, fashion is harder to come by, but having great connections with other young entrepreneurs and fashion labels definitely helps. Currently, I am working in retail as one of the managers of Le Chateau, modelling for Evelynn by Nicole Snobelen, being a Brand Ambassador for Ezzylynn, and styling photoshoots when I get the chance to. When I'm not doing any of the above, I'm probably thinking up my next outfit. Over the past year or so, I have transformed my Instagram account into a fashion centred styleblogger account. With personal touches of family and friends here and there, I have branded myself to be an insta-fashion blogger. I created the hashtag #whatsarawears to distinguish my photos and add to my self branding. (Thank you profs in fashion merchandising for all of the lessons on branding yourself). My personal style depends on my mood that day. I can go from boho-chic to glam and bright in a matter of days. I love to shop at thrift stores, Winners, Le Chateau (obvi), forever 21, Zara, H&M, Kate Spade, Jcrew, and anything else that has a great window display. My amazing and willing BFF/BF Simon graciously takes my #OOTD photos that I can post for people to see. For the foreseeable future, I'll stay in retail management, until I can be styling full time. So I guess you could say I'm living my dream job, but only part time. Maybe I'll be the next Rachel Zoe on the red carpet, I guess you'll just have to keep tabs on me and see where this industry takes me! Thanks for reading. xo

Review // Ezzy Lynn

I am super excited to write about this review! I found Ezzy Lynn through Facebook and was inspired to see three strong entrepreneur women from Western University put together such a great brand!

Ezzy Lynn was created in May 2014 and is focused on trendsetting lifestyle apparel and accessories. My favourite part about this brand is that each piece in their shop is inspired by a unique endangered animal, which they adopt after each sale through WWF-Canada! All of the materials as well are all locally sourced in Ontario and are 100% made from recycled materials.

I think this is such a great idea of collaborating fashion with helping endangered animals all at the same time. If you click HERE you are able to keep up with all of the adoptions happening which is super exciting to see.

After receiving my Grey Wolf scrunchie, which is the one shown in this post, I have literally been wearing it almost every single day. I love the shades of grey and what it represents. I'll be having some outfit posts coming soon as well for how I style my outfits with my scrunchie!

Now that I've told you a little bit about Ezzy Lynn, you can find some more information at the links below, and don't be shy to give them some following love while you're at it!
