Linen and Leather

How gorgeous are these tulips in Bryant Park?! It’s totally fine if you want to just ignore my outfit and focus on the pretty flowers. Rose and I were so mesmerized by them when we met for lunch last week! Blame it on that pesky monster we call ‘Winter’ that overstayed his welcome. This past winter resembled the last guest to leave your party. You know who I mean… The guy that just.keeps.talking. You may have the entire place cleaned up already, music off, and constant yawns, but they’re still there and not getting the hint. Yep, that was this winter.

Hopefully spring is here to STAY! And I mean spring. I’m not ready to start sweating to my death on my way to work each morning. Seasons, people!

    I actually just made a tote that has the same elements as this outfit/picture (linen looking fabric with bright orange handles).

      TAN?! It must just be the lighting, lady. My poor skin hasn’t seen the light of day since August. Actually, maybe even July. Eeeks!

    I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s
    both equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail
    on the head. The issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I found this in my hunt for something
    relating to this.
