clutching a warm cup of coffee and staring out my bedroom window, enjoying the bright grey hues from the sky.  it's a ryan adams kind of day, though i'm also slightly wishing we were in the middle of a downpour, so I could close my eyes and listen to the sound of raindrops hitting out patio.  i made the bed this morning and decided to break all the rules and remain in my pjs.  there's something magical about the lighting in this room right now, and quite frankly i was desperate for a relaxing morning.  as business is taking off, i am becoming more and more serious about getting an intern.  stay tuned this week for details if you, or anyone you know would be interested!

i loved playing with pattern and a splash of colour yesterday with this outfit.  our warmer rainy days often turn into moments of sunshine later on.  and in order to avoid wearing rubber boots and sunglasses, i usually opt for bare legs and closed toe footwear.  just as long as there's no suede shoes involved, it's all good!  what do you love to wear in transitional spring weather?

i've been digging white lace skirts lately (let's just go ahead and blame pinterest for that) and was so happy to find this lil gem at jacob!  thinking it's the scalloped hem that really sold me, such a feminine and flirty detail.  let's also add this straw fedora to the summer wishlist because for $14.99 at h&m, it's a steal.  was moments away from buying almost the same hat from a different store (that i love but will not name) for quadruple the price and am so thankful my friend talked me out of it.  look at that, shopping saves you money!  


anyway, i'm off to enjoy the sunshine.  happy weekending ya'll!
