Zamrie Skirt & White Tee

It's windy and cool in Toronto...this weather is killing me. Anyway, here is an outfit I wore when the weather was still seasonal. Hoping for warmer weather.



This Foxy Originals necklace is reversible! The back is gold and black and can be worn with the perfect LBD.

Casual in my Hush Puppies

As much as I love to wear heels I spend the majority of my life in flats, I have lots of flats in different colours and fabrications. When Hush Puppies sent me their Ceil moccasins in aqua I was ecstatic, the colour was perfect and they just looked so comfortable. I immediately wore them to my children's school to help with pizza day. Teacher's and other moms stopped me to ask about my shoes. They told me how much they loved the colour and asked me if they were comfortable. The answer - YES.

I wore them with no socks the first time and continued on to Costco and the mall to run other errands. Not a single blister or any issues there, my feet love these shoes. I was asked about the elastic backing and the first time I wore these shoes the elastic banding in the back did hurt. However, now that I've stretched them out they are the perfect casual shoe. For today's outfit post I paired these shoes with colour. It's spring, why not?

philosophy - purity Facial Cleanser is a BUY

I've been struggling to find a facial cleanser that really removes dirt and make-up. I know that you are supposed to use an eye make-up remover then cleanser but I honestly don't have time for that. After taking care of the kids, husband, house and then there is that very finite "me" time I don't want to be spending what's left of my evening removing my make-up. I really hate it when I wash my face and I still have eye makeup under my eyes which makes my dark circle and bags even bigger! I was given a bottle of philosophy purity one-step facial cleanser at IPR's Mother's Day gift lounge and I was pleasantly surprised that this cleanser actually delivers on its promises

  • rapidly dissolves dirt, oil and makeup. No under eye streaks because the product works. There are times I'll use a cleanser and I still need to wash under my eyes.
  • gentle enough for use around the eye area. My eyes have never stung when using this cleanser. The same cannot be said about the cleansers I was using. It is supposed to be good for sensitive skin but I can't verify that because my skin is not sensitive.
I've been using this cleanser for around three weeks and I've been nothing but happy with it. My skin doesn't feel dry or tight after I've used it which is also a nice change.

I was in Ottawa this weekend and left my bottle of cleanser in the hotel. I'm off to buy a new bottle, that's how much I like it. I hope whoever finds it will enjoy it as much as I do.

This product is available at Sephora, The Bay and Shoppers Drug Mart
