I cannot tell you how good it feels to be out doing things again. I've been working on projects both indoors and out, one of which I hope to show you soon, but all of which are giving me back some feeling of purpose after a long cold winter.
I hope you're in a part of the world where spring is springing instead of winter lingering, and if you are then you already know that it is quite literally a breath of fresh air and it feels even better to be out in the sunshine in a crisp cotton dress with a cheery citrus print.

| Hello, Pockets!! |
Emily and Fin is a brand I have adored for years. I am so excited to be collaborating with them!! I look forward to each collection they release because I'm certain to find more than a few favorites. There's lots to love in their latest collection aptly titled Ode to Summer, but this Florence Mini Summer Oranges Dress made me feel in such good spirits just looking at it, I knew it would be perfect to welcome the return of the sunshine and the flowers and all things spring.
This Florence dress has a fitted waist, nice full skirt, it's fully lined with a cream cotton fabric. It has a cross front neckline, shaped waist band, and pleats on the skirt. This off-the-shoulder silhouette is so such a lovely, romantic touch. There really is nothing quite like a cotton dress to make me feel at once supremely feminine and strong and comfortable in my skin. Add to that a beautiful print and a perfect fit and feel nearly ready to take on my day with grace.
A quiet bicycle ride to a secluded meadow. Picking daffodils in a pretty dress, with the sunshine on my shoulders. This moment was months in the making, but it was well worth the wait. This is my mediation, my therapy, my peace, my reward and my rest from the difficult days behind me and still yet ahead of me.
I'm afraid this time though I nearly picked the fields bare of daffodils. I couldn't help myself. I don't mind admitting this because they'll be gone from all the meadows and woods in just a few days more. They smell so sweet and they bring a little dose of spring and sunshine into my home, that I think it's ok to bring them inside before they disappear for another year.
If you haven't seen Emily and Fin's new collection, you must have a look. There's so much to love and the season is just right for cotton fabrics and bright prints, and picking dozens of daffodils in the sunshine.
