Longing for Spring

With the winter Olympics over (GO CANADA!) and a tease of a warmish weekend, I can't help but start looking to the florals and pastels, longing for spring for real.

Here are some of my favourite things recently.

1. In Bloom by littlelow

2. Harriet Scarf by Leah Duncan

3. Printed Canvas Oxfords by Gap (Sold out in my size, obviously)

4. Small Storage Box by bookhou

5. Garden Buzz Cup by Michelle Morin for Anthropologie

Prepping for One of a Kind is still going strong although I think I might be pushing myself too hard. Last night I took it easy, went to bed early and I am going to do what I can to stay on schedule. The next few weeks are going to be busy so if I fall behind for a couple days that's okay.

Summer Hiatus

We all get restless. Myself in particular. Like one morning I decided 10 years was long enough to have stretched ears. Or the time I threw out my coffeemaker and switched over to tea. It's become quite clear that I am giving owlswakeup a break for the summer, and that's totally okay. I can't pressure myself into thinking that I should keep going when I am genuinely not in the mood to do so. So a vacation it is.

However, a recent fabric shopping trip got my head filled with all sorts of new ideas. SO. My new plan is not to try to be as productive as I was in the spring and feel sad when I fail to do so, but to get ready to get back into it in the fall. My plan for now is to plan.

Until then.

Summer Picks

Ah, the summer slump. There you are! I'll admit, I've been bad. Now that it's so lovely outside, I want to be away from my computer as much as possible. Blogging has slowed down, sewing has ground to a halt, and shopping has accelerated to a concerning speed haha. I am starting a new job tomorrow (!!!) so I can't help but justify the need for new clothes and accessories. Seems only natural, right?

Here are some of my favourite picks for summer!

1. Wooster Sunglasses - Elizabeth and James

2. Mini Marci Mirror Watch - Marc by Marc Jacobs

3. Sunburst Earrings - House of Harlow 1960

4. Nantucket Bingo Bag - Madewell

5. Angie - Janessa Leone

However with this New Job, I'll have more free time on the weekends so I hope hope hope to have a new DIY or two! The truth is, if I'm not in love with an idea, I'm not going to force myself to do it. It just makes the ideas you do love that much better :D

Happy CANADA DAY!
