Well hey there! My name is Emily, I am Canadian, and I blog over at Hope Squared. I am super excited to be guesting on Kate’s blog both because she’s lovely and I get to spread some spring fever across the blogosphere. Thanks for having me Kate – and nice to meet you fellow Stripes and Polka Dots groupies. As I mentioned, I live in Canada. Like most Canadians spring marks the time that we officially come out of hibernation. That means it’s time to strip off and store away our woolly mittens. Our parkas. Our toques. Because winter is finished. It’s basically a celebration across the country. Because if we are lucky we will be blessed with four solid months of nice weather. Today I want to share with you a few reasons why I like all things spring. Spring FashionNothing is more gratifying then hiding away all your winter gear. Saying goodbye to your socks. And fitting your feet into a comfy pair of Toms. And breaking out all your floral prints. I am no fashonista – but I do enjoy a good spring outfit. Here are a few items I have my eye on this season.

And here is what I am using for inspiration.
Thanks again Kate for letting me spread the fever around your blog today. And hey readers don’t be shy – come over to Hope Squared and say hello some time.
Hello! Visiting from Emily's blog. I'm so excited for the outdoors! Good luck with your garden. Maybe you should include a compost too…if you're the environmental type :)
We have a green box that the city picks up – I guess that's kind of like composting?!
I recently found Hope Squared, and I adore her too!
This comment made me blush! Thanks Lindsay.
Emily Hope you need to get into blog design, for real. You have the talent! And CSS really isn't that scary once you learn the basic rules.
You Grow Girl? Drew and I are starting a garden this year (fingers crossed)…I'm excited about this website! Great post Emily. :)
Love the outfits!
Visiting from Emily's blog. I can't wait for spring either! It snowed this morning and is going to be plus 13 tomorrow! YAY! I'm counting down the sleeps until we open the cottage again (exactly one month today!)
Yay! I love spring and I absolutely love Emily! Never knew she was a gardener… I'm a plant killer :/
Thanks for all the lovely comments & compliments ladies – and thank you Kate (again) for letting me take over your blog. It was so much fun.
LOVE this list!! Just found your blog. newest reader!
Great guest post Em! I'm still getting confused by the seasons on this side of the globe. It's been cold for 3 days straight, so I'm worried that fall is coming, when we barely got a summer. Quite the mind f&*k :)
Yes! Gardening season! SO EXCITED! <3
Just found you through Friday Fancies, following you now!
