I think it’s finally safe to say spring is in the air! I honestly was not expecting it to pop its head around the corner for a few more weeks yet, but we’ve already been basking in sunshine for about a week now. I think this might be the first ‘first day or spring’ in many years that it’s actually felt like spring. But there isn’t an ounce of snow in sight, and I’ve already dug my flats out from under by bed. I can’t wait to start wearing dresses comfortably again! I think what I’m most looking forward to about spring is being able to hop on my bicycle at any given time and explore the city.
As today is the official first day of spring (and since I was super busy with midterm presentations during actual Spring Colour Week) today seemed like an appropriate day to make up this post. As much as I love winter, I really enjoy all of the seasons (not a huge summer fan, but I deal) so there’s always something to look forward to with the passing of each into the next. And it’s so refreshing seeing all these bright, pastel colours of spring once again. They really bring a smile to my face. So onward to much colourful inspiration in the form of pink, chartreuse, robin’s egg blue, yellow, and purple!

Anticipating… the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland in the next few days. The Alice books have been favourites of mine since childhood, so I’m quite excited to see Burton’s take on them.
Also anticipating… the release of the new Goldfrapp album, Head First, and She & Him’s album, Volume II, which are both out this month on March 23! So excited!
Trying… (to no avail) to clean out my feed reader. I have way too many blog subscriptions and I can’t keep up with them any more. How on earth do people decide which to unsubscribe from? This is too hard.
Re-watching… Skins series 1. Classic.
Puppysitting… my aunt and uncle’s dog. She’s so adorable!
Listening… to copious amounts of A Fine Frenzy and Tori Amos. I always go through strange phases with my music.

Birman cats.
Listening to music I haven’t listened to in a long, long time and falling in love with it all over again.
Bright Star. ♥ Again. (Why yes, I am obsessed!)
Cliched sailor-style tattoos.
The colour magenta.
Christmas lights that are still on in the middle of January.
Brilliant ideas in the middle of the night.
Homemade blueberry muffins fresh from the oven when the tops are still crunchy.
Snow! (Snow never gets old in my books, and is always happiness inducing.)
Receiving a response to a message I sent Coco Rocha. “Oh you’re sweet. I’ll tweet about it after 7pm! Xoxo” Saving that forever!
Eating so many Sweet Tarts your tongue becomes tingly for hours.
Discovering my Dad also likes Natalie Portman.

“Do not covet your ideas. Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you… The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you’ll become stale. Somehow the more ideas you give away the more comes back to you.”
