start of summer

"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, the great gatsby

memorial day unofficially kicks off the start of summer.  let me start off by thanking all of our service men and women - those who have served, those who are currently serving, and especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

hopefully your long weekend was filled with family and friends, and were able to enjoy some of the warm intermittent sunshine.  after a long, seemingly-endless winter, i love being able to dig into the back of my closet and pull out tank tops, sandals, and most of all, maxi dresses.  they're easy, comfortable, and can be dressed up or down.  happy summer!
