Hello Darlings, seems as if spring may have lost her way as the weather has been somewhat tragic the past weeks. Bring on pretty May flowers soon please mother nature - since with every rainy day the mood of the city dampens and it seems most everyone is turning to the darkest corners of their closets. It’s sad how there is often dullness in the way people dress when the whether is terrible.
