IT STARTS WITH THE GARDEN

Spring Study 2025: Bringing the Outdoors In and Notes on Nuetrals.

There’s something about spring that feels like an exhale—like the world is stretching awake after a long winter’s nap. The first signs are subtle: a single bud on a magnolia tree, the way the sunlight lingers just a little longer in the evening, the undeniable urge to swap heavy throws for something light and airy. And just like that, we’re in transition.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how inspiration works the same way. It starts small—a floral arrangement, an image, a texture, a scent—and before you know it, it’s grown into something fully realized. For me, it always starts in the garden. My floral framework philosophy means every project starts with a flower arrangement. Being rooted in the PNW, nature has always been my main source of inspiration. Not just the perfectly manicured, symmetrical kind, but the wild, overgrown, beautifully imperfect corners of nature that tells stories of seasons past.

Spring 2025 is whispering—not shouting—its presence, draped in a symphony of neutrals so effortless they could ghost you and you’d still find yourself enamored. But don’t be fooled by their quiet confidence; this season’s palette isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about refined rebellion—the kind of understated luxury that turns a well-placed oat-colored bouclé chair into a statement louder than any pop of color ever could.

Our notes on neutrals curation is a soft-yet-structured embrace that says, "I know who I am, and I don’t need to scream about it."

This season, it’s all about movement—linen, silk, and airy knits that let a breeze flirt with their hems. Monochrome palettes reign, but they aren’t stiff; they breathe, they flex, they say “I didn’t try too hard, but somehow I look perfect.” The 2025 woman isn’t wearing a suit to prove a point.

Now, if you need me, I’ll be in the garden. Or at least dreaming of one.
