{Bedazzled Week} The Sweatshirt

Well friends, no matter how you cut it, all things bejewelled are back and in a big way. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that fashion-philes the world over are dusting off their trusty Bedazzlers from childhood (although props to you if you are!), but more and more items are popping up with these eye-catching embellishments. As a serious 80's child, I couldn't resist putting together a theme week dedicated to the trend, so please bare with me as we embark on an entire week (squeel!) dedicated to all things bejewelled.

First up — the sweatshirt. Already a mega-trend this year (remember this post?), it's only natural that sparkly jewels should find their way onto these hyped-up items as well. And naturally yours truly is all about it... what a sucker.

Join me for a week of bedazzled goodness, including subtle ways to incorporate the trend into your look (yes, surprisingly I'm capable of that) and a super easy DIY that you just have to try! xx

These photos were taken on Christmas Eve in Vancouver, exactly one year after Mr. AiF popped the question (remember?). After the deed was done and I dumbfoundedly said yes, we had a really lovely lunch at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, with me paying far more attention to the new ring on my (shaking) hand than the incredible Indian buffet in front of me — memories. Since then, we decided to make it an annual tradition to visit a Fairmont Hotel in whatever city we happen to find ourselves in that day, pretending to be fancy over tea or (let's face it) the all-you-can-eat buffet. These photos are the before shots from said buffet excursion... You're welcome. xx
