I am always on the hunt for a lightweight, casual skirt I can wear during the spring season. If the skirt can transition into summer, or even fall, it is a huge plus! I am in love with this fabulous skirt by HD in Paris. I bought it for myself on Mother’s Day and cannot stop wearing it! Even if the weather is not quite warm enough for wearing it. 😉 

This skirt offers a hem-like hemline which is asymmetrical and flattering. The fabric is lightweight and can easily be worn during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Love that! Since it is a shimmering chambray, it is easy to wear with almost any color; and easy to pair with different accessories. Another plus!

The fabric does wrinkle easily; which you can see in the photos above. I do not mind the wrinkles since they seem to go with the carefree and casual vibe of the skirt. I had been wearing the skirt for two hours at church before taking these pictures. My seven year old was fidgeting during church and crawling on me. I think the skirt looks pretty good after all that!

I will definitely be reaching for this skirt several days per week this season, and next; and next! It is really comfortable, easy to wear, and flattering. It turned out to be the perfect Mother’s Day gift to myself!

My apologies for not knowing the designer who created the beautiful long necklace I am wearing in these photos. I purchased this necklace about two years ago at an art fair and it is unmarked. If I see the designer again, I will definitely write down his name!

swimsuit coverups for summer 2015

Swimsuit season is here! This means it is time for pool parties, long walks from the car to the beach, and other situations which require a little bit of modesty while wearing a swimsuit. Thankfully swimsuit cover-ups for summer 2015 are on-trend, and flattering for the season. 

With the boho trend in full effect, swimsuit cover-ups are channeling this trend by storm. There are tie-dye cover-ups, flowing fabrications, a little bit of fringe, and easygoing silhouettes to cover up your swimwear this season. In addition to boho styles, rompers are still hot for keeping you modest poolside, as well as lightweight cover-ups which can double as a hot weather sundress. Love that!

I found a few fabulous swimsuit cover-ups around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below, I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
