Cherry Blossom Season

It’s cherry blossom season! The trees have bloomed in High Park in Toronto and if you want to see them, you better go now. Cherry blossoms are always an elusive and fleeting moment of natural beauty during springtime and I feel quite lucky to have been able to see all of the trees in bloom this year. The last time I attempted to see the cherry blossoms in High Park was probably four years ago and sadly, by the time I got around to visiting the park, the blossoms were all gone, except for one lone tree. So when my friend Marcus noticed that the cherry blossoms were out Sunday night, we made a plan to check them out Monday afternoon!

It was a family affair for Justine, Sofia and me, joined by Marcus and Maiku. By the way, be sure to check out this awesome vlog that Maiku made from our adventure to see the Sakura trees! The park was so busy yesterday. Even on a Monday- couldn’t believe it. So if you do decide to go, make sure you go early and if you can, avoid the weekend, because we all know it will be packed then!

My outfit for the adventure was retro-inspired and pastel-colored to coordinate with the cherry blossoms. Just the right amount of light layering for a sunny spring day too.

What I’m wearing: Kuwallatee jacket // BLANK & BLUE hoodie // Abercrombie jeans (similar at ASOS) // Vans sneakers // BLANK & BLUE sunglasses // BLANK & BLUE necklace
