May. Not sure how we made it to the fifth month of the year so quickly, but here we are. For us, this is the month that summer starts (school is out before Memorial Day…), we head out on our much anticipated, extended family, Hawaiian vacation (canceled three times over the past two years…), and where we begin to ease into the slower pace of summer (even though we’re still in spring)…

I think TJ and I reflected on this so many times this past weekend… how quickly this year has gone by. It seems that it started slow (as most Januarys do) but that each month has gone by faster than the last…

I saw this quote last week and felt it was so true….

“Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now…” – Eckhart Tolle

And so we spent this past weekend being present playing tooth fairy (our second go at this…), making pancakes and breakfast burritos, heading down to the beach for a family lunch, and then playing outside on Sunday afternoon. I caught up with a girlfriend on a Sunday morning walk, we cleaned the patio off a bit, and now, we’re settling down to watching “The Dropout” (highly recommend…). It was a simple weekend, but it was a full one… one that, just as this year, went by too quickly…

With that, I hope everyone has a good day, and week, ahead!

Reformation has some beautiful new arrivals for spring and summer… love this white two piece set, blue and white top (great for a night out), white sandals, and this basic knit tank (great summer basic).

Some cute sustainable swim options for spring and summer include this beautiful floral button down, crochet dress + crochet sarong, and these stripe cover-up pants (which could work as a casual pant option as well).

Loving this casual midi dress and shorter basic black dress for a casual spring/summer day….

If you’re looking for some beautiful occasion dresses, I love this mushroom colored dress (love the silhouette), deep v dress, floral cut-out dress, and this black floral dress.
