Hello, Summertime

{in bloom}
Being out of school and not having a designated summer vacation anymore, I thought the novelty of the season would have worn off by now. However, that's proven to be completely untrue, as having only the weekends to enjoy the weather has only made it all the more precious.. And even though it was more wet than dry and more cold than warm in Vancouver, the first few days of summer were all around great ones. Here are a few snapshots from it and here's to making the most of this short but sweet season!

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Great pictures and I have the exact same dress. Haven't worn it in a while so seeing your outfit pic is a reminder to wear it again! :)

The Great Gatsby was always one of my favorite reads, ever since I picked up for required reading in 10th grade 16 years ago! OMG, I'm so old... but it's only now that I'm starting to appreciate the societal/caste system/prejudice explorations that Fitzgerald embedded in this torrid love tale.

I prefer being a working stiff to having a summer. I don't know what to do with myself with so much free time. I get bummed out.
