 How cute is the Spring 2012 collection from Samantha Pleet?  The weather in DC is creeping into the early 70s this week, its still light outside when I leave work, and little pink cherry blossoms have started appearing around the city. Spring is almost here and I can't stop smiling about it! Time to put away the tights :).

Bohemian Rhapsody

I'm kind of obsessed with this bohemion-chic apartment featured in this month's Lonny. The apartment is owned by two sisters, who really know how to mix new and old. The striped rug! The tree! The wallpaper! Hearts! I love it all.

 Love the Orla Keily SS12 Campaign by Venetia Scott. Reminds me of my lazy, suburban California summer vacations growing up.

Birthday Girl

So, today is my 24th birthday. And I am happy. I am content. I have so much to look forward to this year. And have been so blessed with the opportunity to give and receive love from my amazing friends and family. Today, I'm just excited for life in general.

It was in the Pulitzer Prize winning photographs exhibit and a lot of the photos there made me want to cry. This one made me want to cheer).

Firefly

I love these beautiful long exposure photographs of fireflies by Tsuneaki Hiramatsu. With the weak winter weather we've been having in Washington, DC, it feels like summer is just around the corner.
