Hint of Spring

February 21, 2013


 “When spring came, even the false spring, 
there were no problems except where to be happiest. 
The only thing that could spoil a day was people 
and if you could keep from making engagements, each day
 had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness 
except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Those tiny buds are starting to pop. The vibrant green dots the landscape. I think that spring is trying to make an appearance in the chilly winter scene.

Spring brings a sort of hope to life. A new beginning. A rebirth. The soft and sweet warmth that life and love brings to a new year. The death of winter slowly saying, ‘so long…’  Who could not help but be happy with a hint of change in the air?!


“Is the spring coming?” he said. “What is it like?”…
“It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

 
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

    Love the ring! Also love that Hemingway quote. I think my new goal might be to be as good as spring itself. c:

    Laurel, what kind of camera do you use? your photos come out amazing. I love this shoot. I was feeling down tonight, but these pics make me want to look great as a plus size girl. You have such confidence and you look great! Inspiring..

      Thank you for saying that! That is the main goal I have wanted for this blog and shop ultimately–to make some sort of difference through that which inspires me (fashion). The confidence is something worked on (pretty much on a daily basis), when I first started The Curvy Elle I cringed at every picture of myself. Now, I have a different perspective– seeing my whole self made me love and appreciate my body for what it is. It still is a daily task to build my self image and worth up.

      A good camera makes the biggest difference on how you look in a photo. I have a Canon Rebel T3i DSLR camera and it is worth EVERY penny I invested into it! :)
