April arrived and I took an afternoon off to walk around the mall area of Washington, DC. I saw a lot of blooms about to go nuts and I can\’t wait to go back again this week and see how they are looking.

Nerd Glasses
Chris went to a developer conference and came home with these funny glasses from Big Nerd Ranch. I told him to think about what his next big idea was while wearing them and I would take his picture.

Spring in Orlando
I was in Orlando for a wedding and I thought I missed the peak Tabebuia season. I used to call them (and still sometimes do) Trumpet Trees but they are not actually trumpet trees. They are Tabebuia trees.
White Jumpsuits for Weddings

Last snow of the Season
We arrived back in DC from New Orleans to news of another snow day. Here we were mid-March and getting more snow!

Spring in the South
We were in Birmingham and New Orleans a few weeks ago and I loved seeing all of the flowering trees in bloom. It wasn\’t quite Spring yet in DC and I was ready to see some color!

I love these Sophia Webster Lilico Sandals! They are so much fun with the polka dots and the flowers. I just don\’t know how I would wear them. I would love to see these featured by a fashion blogger

First Day of Spring 2014
It is hard to believe today is the first day of Spring! It is supposed to be 60 degrees today. It is sunny and beautiful and I plan on taking a break at lunch to find some bulbs that are starting to

I realize this photo of Alan Jackson isn\’t new but I recently found it (I don\’t listen to country as much as I used to) and I thought it was such a great photo! I love great photography (obviously!)
Tommy Hilfiger: Fall 2014
The runway set at Tommy Hilfiger\’s Fall 2014 show was awesome! It reminded me of the Chanel Fall 2010 runway set with the ice and water splashing below all of the models\’ feet as they walked the runway.

This is a great formal wedding bridesmaid\’s dress:
