Los Angeles, CA

I took these photos a little over a month ago and had no idea how different the world would be just a few weeks later. It seems like every day we’re adjusting to a new normal and while I am definitely trying to make the most of it, it can all feel a bit daunting sometimes. That being said, I am finding ways to enjoy the little things: neighborhood walks, workouts, FaceTime dinners, home-cooking, and organizing.

I had lots of plans for this beautiful, structured maxi dress—weddings, brunches, work events, birthdays—and I look forward to wearing it to all of those things once they’re back on the table, but until then, it’s going to be my grocery store/stroll around the neighborhood dress.

Dress: Anthropologie

Earrings: c/o BaubleBar (similar)

I went to New England this past weekend to celebrate Mother's Day with my family and while a weekend is a bit ambitious for a coast-to-coast trip, I was able to pack in a lot. One of the highlights was our visit to the Tower Hill Botanical Gardens. I went with my Mum and sister and none of us had ever been, so it was fun to try something new. There were wooded trails, outdoor art, and fields and fields of fresh flowers. Everything seemed to be blooming and as an LA lady who doesn't really get to explore seasons, it was nice to get into the spring spirit.

Now if a garden tour is not exactly in your future, you can also swing into spring by upgrading your wardrobe. This chiffon beauty from Chicwish is the equivalent of buying yourself a fresh bouquet of flowers (that never dies). Not only does it have a wispy watercolor design, but the chiffon material and flowy fit make it flattering on just about every body type. In case this one isn't totally your style, I have linked more of my favorite floral maxi dresses below.
