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?

    Very cute outfit. Transitional weather is fun for me, as I enjoy mixing seasonal pieces with different layers. Blazers and leggings are probably how I mix up my spring / summer / autumn pieces.

    Good luck with your intern hunt!
