Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁
A Friday Favorites post this week because I took last Friday off to go to the local botanical garden! Mixing up my usual schedule and seeing delightful spring flowers has been a major source of sparkle this week!
(FYI: I make a small commission for purchases or clicks made through links in this post.)
Now… please know when you look at the “highlight reel” pics below, I actually didn’t have the best time at the botanical garden. It was just SO CROWDED and trafficky, and I was stressed before I even got in! (Covid restrictions must have still been in place when I went this time last year.) But you know what was delightful? Editing the pictures over the weekend! No surprise, this introvert had a much better time looking at pretty plants from the comfort of her own home by herself, who knew? 😂
The spring Flower Walk is largely color-coordinated beds of tulips. Did I literally say out loud to no one YESSSSSSS PURPLE when I got to the purple section? Perhaps. 😏😂
Are all of my favorite pics purple flowers? Also yes.
What is this magical pink-to-lavender gradient?!
Lavender with tinges of pinky-blue?!
My tripod fell over and bopped two of these glorious dark tulips and I literally gasped in horror. 😵
There was also…
Neon purple!
Pinky orange!
Pinky pink!
The weather was gorgeous, so sunny and warm, and, stress aside, it was nice to be reunited with some of my flower friends from last year! 😁💜
If you’re off for the day, why not live it up? After I left the garden, I stopped for truffle fries and a mocktail (and an okay sandwich lol)!
And then I dropped by a few stores I never go to (aka Anthropologie and bluemercury)! Anthro is just one of those stores that I really enjoy walking through—there’s just so many fun things to look at! I ended up treating myself to this pretty ring and some cute greeting cards! (I mean, they sell Rifle Paper Co., soooo….)
New ring + painted nails for the first time in forever! I guess I was needing some #selfcarenails back in my life! (Don’t mind that one cuticle I anxiety-picked! 🙈) This color is Zoya Saint!
