With the weather we've been having lately, it's hard to believe that summer doesn't officially start for another month. I'm already starting to worry that my two-fan, four-shower-a-day system isn't going to get me through these hot and humid months.
Although these next few weeks are going to wreak havoc on my hair (slowly, throughout the day it becomes puffier until I realize I'm sporting a pyramid shaped afro), I can't really begin to tell you how excited I am for summer: cruising along the canal on my BIXI bike (humming the Wicked Witch of the West's these... it only seemed fitting), sitting on the Starbucks patio pretending to read as I people watch, and soaking up as much sunshine as I can before we're once again faced with winter.
But the thing I'm most excited for is watermelon; any and all things watermelon. From the food to the colour, it's long been a favourite of mine. So, in honour of the season of the melon, I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite ways to have and wear watermelon this summer.
To Have
Watermelon popsicles (can also be made adult-style)
Watermelon cucumber cocktail - pretty much the definition of refreshing

To Have
Sliced. It's quick and messy, the best way to savour this fruit.

To Wear
 |
| Jacob |
A great dress to go from day-to-night - you'll look sweet enough to eat in this pleated dress from Jacob.
 |
| Gap Boyfriend roll-up shorts |
It'll be hard to do the aforementioned people-watching in these boyfriend shorts from the Gap; with a look this comfortable and chic it'll hard to go unnoticed.
And because no look is finished without the perfect mani/pedi, there's Watermelon by Essie.
There you have it; your guide to watermelon, from head to toe.
What are you looking forward to this summer?

Oh man, watermelon is my favourite food of the season. It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the watermelon clothes too - those boyfriend shorts are awesome.
This summer I can't wait for more beach dates. I miss just sitting outside soaking up the sun!
My man LOVES watermelon and I`m not a huge fan but will have to try the watermelon cokctail- add alcohol and anything tastes better :) I do however love that watermelon coloured dress from Jacob! I had to google what a Bixi bike was- how cool that you`re going to be using one!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I posted a yummy watermelon salad recipe a couple weeks ago, was a hit for our BBQ :)
