Crushing on Cashmere (and a gift card giveaway!)

December 12, 2013


If I had to choose one favourite fabric, it would be – without a doubt – cashmere. And although the material is cozy and warm, it does tend to get expensive… which is why I love that Joe Fresh makes it so accessible (100% cashmere sweaters are $79!). From tomorrow until January 5th, the brand is offering 30% off cashmere & silk shirts – perfect time to stock up on beautiful basics! And to make things even sweeter, we’ve partnered to give a $100 gift card to one lucky reader! Just leave a comment on this post with your email to be entered, and for a bonus entry – tweet: “I want to win a $100 @JoeFresh GC from @herwaisechoice! Enter here: http://bit.ly/1bzgBjE #JoeFreshStyleChallenge“. Winner will be notified next Monday. Good luck!



Wearing: Joe Fresh cashmere sweater (c/o), thrifted blouse, MICHAEL Michael Kors faux fur, Old Navy jeans, Saint Laurent clutch, Boutique 9 booties (c/o Shopbop, also love this black pony hair version!)

    Sadly the joe fresh cashmere is not available in store here on PEI but I do love the idea of stocking up on basics, and thanks to the online shop might be able to scoop some up.

    Have to say that I also love your boots and clutch. So many great accessories in this look!

Most importantly, they have some amazing pieces for the holiday season that transition well into other seasons. Thank’s for the giveaway!
