{  

yearning for italian breakfasts; dreaming of spring;

a bunch of tulips for my table; a sunny but freezing cabin weekend

{  

new vans! and a road trip; a really old selfie which makes me want to wear skirts...;

a latte

from this cafe

; bunches of lilies brightening up the living room;

a last glimpse at the snow; standing in the middle of long beach boulevard

for the record - last week I 

smelled

spring.

everyone has this moment. when they walk outside on that

chilly yet almost-spring-sunny day...

and you can smell the thaw. the combination of

birds chirping, the angle of the rays of sun...

builds up to that audio-visual hint of spring.

add that smell - i can't describe it - and the fever starts.

if you follow my instagram (@tmango77)

 you can probably tell that I am way too excited

for the warmer weather. :) no shame!

happy monday + have a great week! (hope it's warm)

ciao, xo

ps. oh! and happy st. patrick's day!
