happy, happy, happy

Now that spring has sprung and summer is just a couple of weeks away (spaz attack of joy happening right now), I’ve found myself more and more attracted to clothing that reflects how I’m feeling. HAPPY.

Go ahead, hum Pharrell’s version to yourself. I won’t stop you. In fact, I’ll join in!

And you know what else is making me very, very happy? The fact that I get to celebrate the first birthday of Kelly Wynne this Monday with Jessi of The Darling Detail, and you’re invited! If you didn’t catch the details in my last post, be sure to check them out below. I’m crossing my fingers to see you there!

Love from Texas,
