SPRING

These were on my desktop. I don't remember where they came from.

MORE

Stella McCartney (see also: Differences) is commercial but manages to be wearable and just interesting enough. The monogram pattern is pretty out there, I'd love to tuck the blouse into a black or tweed skirt. I probably wouldn't wear the skirt or blouse on the far right but would love to see the look on someone else.

ANOTHER

From Dries van Noten.

NEW

Something to look at. http://wilderquarterly.com/

DIFFERENCES

From Stella McCartney. 

LAKE DISTRICT

Film still from The Trip.

DRIES

Always knows what's up for fall. Now that the weather's turning we can finally wear pieces like this. Runway photos from Sartorialist, middle photo from somewhere on tumblr.

PHONE PICS

Sometimes I don't have my camera with me so take photos on my phone. I never bothered to get them onto my computer until now. I like the film still effect. Bottom from F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night, hardbound Penguin edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, spotted at a party recently ...

MUNICH

HYDE PARK

Picnic time.

OPTIMISM

Matisse: optimism and sincerity. Perfect for spring.

BACK IN LONDON

Spring trees have gone Rococo.

FINALLY IT'S MARCH

Finally it's March. Pic above of an abandoned mill in Sorrento, found here. Hopefully I'll be able to check it out in a few weeks when I travel down Italy's west coast.

DEAR WINTER

Although it's not technically winter yet, I'm already wishing it were spring. I took this picture in Victoria Park early last May. Sometime I'd like a garden full of Lilac.

AUTUMN

Yesterday was sunny and crisp and so I took a break just before sundown to stroll through Victoria Park. I almost feel the photo of the canal could be a cheesy calendar photo, I've included it because it seems kind of insane for a simple snapshot. Wish you were here!

SUMMER WISH, pt II

Summer dreamin' -- A Room with a View.

SUMMER

Is here. Have a listen and see what I mean.

ALMOST THERE

While apples and pears may technically be autumnal, their colors feel more like spring. I've been making apple and pear crisp on the regular these past few weeks ... there's something about it for breakfast, with a bit of yogurt on top, that is so delicious. Savoring the last days of winter, I suppose.

SPRING

One more month until March equinox. Hurry, hurry.
