H&M High-waisted Tiered Skirt $39.95 CAD

I'm not a big fan of tiered things, but this, I like. The layers are subtle and not too ruffly, very simple and chic. It's too bad they didn't have my size.



This skirt is available in 3 colours: plum brown (the above photo is more colour accurate), deep cornflower blue, and black.


H&M Filigree Necklace $14.95 CAD

I love this as a statement necklace as it has that vintage look. It would look really great with a strapless dress or a classic LBD.


H&M Cutout Peep Toe Shoes $39.95 CAD

As soon as I saw these shoes, I immediately thought of this pair of Miss Sixty shoes that I wanted to buy from Rowan Sky in the summer time. The concept is very similar, but the execution is slightly different. I still prefer the single gold strap down the centre of the foot of the Stacy shoes, which is why I didn't end up buying the pair from H&M. However, they are still pretty shoes at a good price; and with the shorter heel, they're quite comfortable.

H&M Divided Brocade skirt, H&M top, T3 Refresh Volumizing Dry Shampoo, Moroccanoil, Skoah Face Skotion 30

A good dry shampoo can be a girl's best friend. I've tried Oscar Blandi's Pronto Dry Shampoo but to no avail. It does smell good with that fresh lemon-verbena scent and it did a decent job, but the small sized bottle only allowed for 2 brief uses before it died on me. Since then, I've had a few Blo Outs done at Blo where they use T3 Refresh Volumizing Dry Shampoo. It not only helps to absorb excess oils and odours with a fresh scent, but it provides added volume, which I love.

As per her post on partlySunny, the Moroccanoil hair treatment came highly recommended by industry insider Sunny Shum. I've heard nothing but great things about it since then, so I decided it was time that I picked up a bottle for myself. Even though I washed my hair this morning, I'm tempted to wash it again tonight just so I can try this hair treatment.

I have yet to post reviews on the Skoah products I bought last week, but so far so good! Therefore, I thought I would try one of their daily moisturizers since I ran out mine this morning. I like what I've read about the Face Skotion - "a light, hydrating lotion with a matte finish that won't cause breakouts and has UVA and UVB protection". So here's to hoping that it works well on my combination skin.
