inspiring spring weather

sweet girly

2°C today. 11°C tomorrow.

Spring clothes and colours abound in the shopping malls.

Realistically I know this spring like weather won't last long. But, I'm SO ready for spring.

Lilah and I walked to Tim Hortons today and it felt really good. It's been a long time. And recently Lilah has been gazing into our garden shed, wistfully looking at her trike and saying: "Can I trike again soon, when it's summer time?"

We so can't wait.

For grass. Flowers. And sweet summer dresses.

Speaking of summer dresses, here are six that I adore. A few of these are already hanging in the closet, patiently waiting for spring. We're heading to the US this weekend for a few days, and there's a pretty good chance I'll be adding a few more items!

  2. I long for Spring too... especially since it is -20 here! Love the dresses and I am so jealous that you can go to the US -- just for a couple of days! -- to shop.

    We too, long for spring around here, where there is no need for tights or leggings under dresses. Thank you for posting where you found those dresses, I really like the "Creative Bee" and will be checking that out further.

  9. I am dreaming of a green spring :) Love those dresses! I have been debating on TCP one for my girls :) Have fun in NY! I am also a little envious that you can just pop down to the states for a couple days of shopping :)

    Happy Shopping
