    Real talk

    This one does not pretend to be anything other than warm, sweet, and sunny. There is no irony here, no cool detachment. Warmth lingers, a sun-kissed memory.Santa Cruz
    Yellow florals get a bad reputation, too cheerful, too easy. Happy makes the counter-argument. Mimosa and Freesia done right aren't naive. They're confident.Happy
