Blooming on Earth Day

This spring, we’ve embraced the lovely floral looks blooming  throughout the city! In honor of Earth Day, we’re presenting a bouquet of our favorites:

BB Dakota

BB Dakota offers flowered dresses and tops to brighten up a rainy April day. We particularly enjoy the inventive use of flower petals on some of their designs.

Maggy London

These breezy looks are perfect for day to night, although we would prefer to wear them at an English garden party.

Zamrie



We are slightly obsessed with Zamrie’s Spring 2012 collection, which bursts with color. Zamrie offers a creative variety of pastoral ensembles, ready to be plucked and worn to nearly any occasion.

You can find selections from BB Dakota and Maggy London at Purdy Girl, Jessie James, Darling, and, for Brooklynites, Teddy. 


For some Literary Inspiration: 

   I WANDERED lonely as a cloud
          That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
          When all at once I saw a crowd,
          A host, of golden daffodils;
          Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
          Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

          Continuous as the stars that shine
          And twinkle on the milky way,
          They stretched in never-ending line
          Along the margin of a bay:                                  
          Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
          Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

          The waves beside them danced; but they
          Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
          A poet could not but be gay,
          In such a jocund company:
          I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
          What wealth the show to me had brought:

          For oft, when on my couch I lie
          In vacant or in pensive mood,                               
          They flash upon that inward eye
          Which is the bliss of solitude;
          And then my heart with pleasure fills,
          And dances with the daffodils.

by William Wordsworth
