An optimist is the human personification of spring

Spring is finally here, except here in Canada we certainly can't tell.
There is still snow on the ground and I still have to wear my winter jacket, leather gloves and a hat every time I leave my house.
I haven't had my camera out in quite a while.  I am going to purchase a new lens and I have lots of new items and outfits to shoot for you guys.  I have been a very bad fashion blogger because I have had zero spare time to take pictures for posts.
 Here in Toronto it is fashion week so I hope to get a feature on that posted as well.
School is finished in three weeks and I am starting a new job!  Stay tuned for details.
This is just a quick post to say I'm back from my long winter hibernation and mountains of classwork on top of the full-time delivery of beer and chicken wings.
My wardrobe is starting to contain a lot more colours!  I am loving bright shades this season.
This is just a short inspiration post from the spring collections of a few designers. I've done a lot of shopping at these places lately.
Thanks for reading and sorry for being so lacking in the blogging department lately!

I love the graffiti backdrop and bright colours as well as simple structure and detailing in these photos.  The styling is funky and glamourous.  Very inspirational for spring!
