What I Wore: I'm Cute + Sheer Maxi

May 10, 2013

"I'm Cute" Tee, Forever XXI | Sheer Maxi, End Of Season Sale | Cardigan, Papaya | TNA denim tote, Thrifted

I posted yesterday about my Sunny Afternoon for Two and you got to see a couple glimpses of this beautiful red, sheer maxi skirt. Probably one of my favourites and a summer staple for me.

Every time the wind blew, I started to get giddy about all the billowing my skirt was doing. It's just so fun - both the billowing and the colour! Every time I wear this skirt I just smile - and smile, and smile.

A Sunny Afternoon for Two

May 09, 2013


Alex and I spent an afternoon in the park the other day. We walked around for a bit and then settled on a grassy knoll. He whittled while I took a bunch of pictures and enjoyed the sunset. We played War for a time until the weather got too nippy to stay outside without sweaters.

It was extremely peaceful and pleasant. A lot of our summer afternoons are going to be filled with walks and my camera and I'm really looking forward to it.

What is your favourite thing to do on a sunny afternoon?

BEAUTY REVIEW: Coconut Milk Body Lotion

May 08, 2013


Organix Coconut Milk, Body Lotion

Warm weather only means one thing: summer skin. If you're like me, you've kept your skin hidden away all winter. When it's time to pull out the shorts, skirts, and crop tops, I always find myself in need of a little more nourishing body lotion.

The Organix Coconut Milk lotion fit my initial needs: smelled like coconut (is anyone else obsessed with me?) Plus it's infused with hibiscus extract, sugar cane, willow bark, rice milk, and bamboo extract to make a cocktail that leaves the skin hydrated, soft, and touchable.

The thing I love most about this product is that it is not greasy. At all. The smell lasts for quite awhile. The packaging is simple yet elegant. It's a great price. I can't actually think of a downside, to be honest.

I've combined this product with one of Organix other products, Morrocan Argan Dry Body Oil, in order to keep my skin hydrated. It's especially wonderful after some light exfoliation!

Do you have a favourite body moisturizer right now? I'd love to hear about it!
