Dreaming of Spring

scotchandscones: 

I am daydreaming of Springtime and all of the lovely things it brings. Fresh oysters, champagne celebrations, patios, later sunsets, wearing shorts, getting a little sun, Spring flowers, farmer’s markets…ahh.

New Pieces You’ll Love Forever

stamhb7 Jessica Stam in 'New Pieces You'll Love Forever' by Benjamin Alexander Huseby

Although this editorial is from 2009, I still love it. A lot of the style cues from last Autumn ring true still. The colors, high waists and layering keep it current and Jessica Stam keeps it lovely.
