All About A Dress

It’s amazing what can come from the simplest starting point. With one spark of inspiration, a whole world of ideas can be fanned into flame. Take today’s post, for example. All inspired by one sweet and simple dress. But let me be clear: this is no ordinary dress. It is a dress that led to a picnic, and that picnic led to a photo shoot, and that photo shoot led to a video shoot, and that video shoot led to an adventure. But I’m getting ahead of myself. For now, the dress.

From Anthropologie’s Fit and Flare collection, this shapely little shift is perfect for girly curves. Light as air, beautifully tailored and whimsical, it had me at hello. Add to that the hidden pockets {perfect for storing secret love notes} and it’s all a girl could hope for in a swinging summer frock.

More tomorrow!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!

With Spring fully upon us, I find myself throwing open the windows, inhaling the fresh scent of new life and the fragrant blooms that have been sweetly sleeping all winter long. My lilacs were the first to show off, waving their delicate “hello” at me each time I stepped out my door. Now it’s the peonies’ turn, reminding me that Spring is just about to kiss Summer’s lips and yet another transition will take place before our very senses. Eyes, ears, noses, palettes and hands (not to mention hearts): brace yourselves! A veritable feast of beauty is headed your way.

I just love how the morning dew carefully caresses the petals as if gently holding the face of a loved one.

No one does dimension better than nature – just look at those gorgeous layers!

Time to gather together a bouquet of this sweet inspiration and welcome it indoors.

Hope your senses come alive today at the signs of Spring!
