Summer Lovin'

So the newest (or at least newest to Montreal) issue of Russh hit the shelves this week and it is filled with all the freckles, Anastase, bed-head, floral prints, straw hats and white cropped blouses I need to properly lose myself in a little summer escapism.
Visions of chambray skirts, loose fitting cropped blouses, white mini dresses (I'll definitely be altering the one I found at the flea market last summer to look more like the ones on the runway) and sunhats are filling my head and i'm so anxious for the warm weather to actually hit here so that I can put all my wonderful new ideas to good use!

Things I'm currently inspired by:

Floral Print Skirts

Luella SS 09

Printed blouses and bow ties

Karen Walker

Gingham Print apron style dresses

Lillian Gish in The Mothering Heart

Anne Of Green Gable inspired Straw Hats

Ali Michael at DNA in Lula

White dresses inspired by turn of the century styles
