That Spring Feeling

The weather has been so beautiful lately that it has me smiling from ear to ear.  Just as we’re reemerging into society after having been in hibernation for quite some time, I’m so grateful for such lovely weather so that we can start spending time outdoors with friends and family soaking up the sunshine.  Since this year has really slipped through our fingers in the most unexpected of ways so far, I thought I would write myself a list of things I hope to achieve before the end of the season. Here is my spring checklist.

Halloween Hay Ride Readathon

Welcome to the Halloween Hay Ride Readathon!  I’ve been planning this readathon for the past few months and I’ve been so excited to share it with you because I know that so many of you love to read as much as I do.  With that in mind, I wanted to create some sort of readathon that we could all together during the month of October.  I know that we all love different genres and we all read at different speeds so this readathon is designed to suit each person individually and just be a little bit of fun.

Yellow dress of dreams and an update for bookworms

I was drawn to this Forever New dress the moment I laid eyes on it.  Isn’t it the yellow dress of dreams?  It made me realise that I do not have enough yellow in my wardrobe.  It’s such a fun, happy colour and it’s so eye-catching, even in its muted form like this shade.  I’m a little crazy about it.  I absolutely love Zimmermann designs and when I first saw this Forever New dress, I thought it must have been inspired by this Zimmermann dress (or maybe this one).  What do you think?  I love that it has similar flowing, feminine and floral details.  It’s just gorgeous with its long sleeves and lace detail.  I did include this dress in my Spring Haul video so you can see how it moves in this video.
