You comfort me like apple pie and sunny skies

Grey long sleeve tee: Aritzia
Brown corduroy mini skirt: The Barn
Pink belt: H&M
Gold metallic sandals: Army & Navy sale


This skirt does look quite short in this photo doesn't it? I think it rode up a bit while I was running from setting my self-timer to jumping into my pose - 10 seconds isn't a very long delay! I think the length of the shirt sleeves offsets the shortness of the skirt though and the belt adds a welcome pop of fun color. This shirt is so so comfy that it's made me fall in love with basics all over again (even though I never was out of love anyways) so now I'm on the hunt for cool basics featuring relaxed draping or v-necks for fall! What sort of trends are you keen on for fall?



In other news, the folks behind Fuze drinks sent me some free samples of their Shape line of health drinks! Chock full of vitamins, fruit juices, and at only 20 calories a bottle, Fuze is the newest way to quench your thirst! I tried the Strawberry Melon flavour and while I found the flavour to be a tad thinner than drinking pure juices, I did enjoy the fact that it had so little calories and contained all these extra nutrients. If you're looking for a great post-workout drink, then this definitely beats plain ol' water! However, this product does worry me a tad with all its warnings about how one shouldn't drink more than 4 bottles a day or risk health issues!! Could there be such a thing as too much healthiness?? Apparently yes.

i tried the fuze drinks and you're right, they're a bit light on flavour. i didn't really look into the nutritional value of them, but i'm not sure about how they would be as a substitute post-workout. chocolate milk is one of the best things, lots of vitamins and tasty too! =)
