With summer coming I started thinking about camping, brighter sunlight hours and being outdoors. I know I like having a hat on hand (especially for beach days), but often can't figure out what to do with my hair since I prefer to throw it up in a bun/ponytail when it's hot out.

Mink Shorts
Is it summer yet? I see all the signs that it's coming here. The sun rises earlier and brighter, there's the sound of running water as the snow piles visibly shrink by the day, the arctic bunnies are turning brown again, and we have a new summer-y pattern for you!

The Heron Shirt
