With Love…

Mark Knudson 1958-2013

I am writing this post because the world lost a great man this week. My sweet Uncle passed away this week after suffering from Pancreatic Cancer. He was diagnosed two years ago, and I feel so blessed that he was able to spend so much more time with us than expected.

Death seems like such an unfair thing sometimes and it puts into perspective what is truly important in life. I sometimes think, if only I could lose weight, or oh I wish I had that pair of shoes, or life is unfair, then I realize how fortunate I am compared to so many in this world. And helps me remember to be grateful for the blessings you have and to treasure every moment.

He was a man that lived every day to its fullest and I want to continue on his attitude every day.

I will miss you always Merky, and although your body is gone, your soul will be with me forever!

Upcoming Trend!

I want to remind everyone about the Trend Spin Linkup!

Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels and I have teamed up over the last few weeks to present you a weekly linkup with a twist.

Every Tuesday, we will announce our trend for the upcoming week. We then encourage bloggers AND non-bloggers to submit their photos of the trend for the week! It is a fun way for everyone to be able to show off their interpretation of fashion while using the latest and greatest trends. We also offer the opportunity for guest hosts each week, so if you are interested, feel free to contact us at [email protected]

Want to join the fashion link up?
Here’s how to enter:

Non-Bloggers : All non-bloggers will be able to submit photos to [email protected] by the prior Saturday at midnight. We will then select one photo to be our featured photo of the week on the day of the link-up! Highlighting how you don’t necessarily need to have a blog to be a trendsetter 🙂

Bloggers : All bloggers will be able to submit their post links every Tuesday with their take on our trend of the week. This will allow bloggers to show off their personal style, find new followers and meet some great fashionistas!

For all bloggers we simply ask that you please follow The Fashion Canvas and Walking in Memphis in High Heels (via Bloglovin’, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or GFC!) and provide a link to the Trend Spin Link-up in your post or add the button below to your blog. Then spread the word! Share our button on your page to help encourage more linkers, and also make sure to comment on our blogs, and at least 5 of the other bloggers linking up! This is a chance to not only show off your own style, but to also get to know and find new blogger fashion.

Inspiration Canvas – Take Me Away

THE CANVAS –

Striped Tank : Zara ~ Skort : Zara ~ Jacket : Zara ~
Shoes : Zara ~ Purse : Zara ~ Fedora : Forever 21

So I am going to Vegas this weekend with one of my besties and her sister and mom to attend the Miss USA pageant. Our friend is competing and we can’t way to cheer her on!
But while I am in Vegas we will definitely do some serious shopping, and as if you can’t tell, I have Zara on the brain! We don’t have a Zara is Utah, so I can’t wait to shop and maybe bring home this whole outfit 🙂
