The sense of smell is a very powerful thing that can dictate memories and create a feeling of nostalgia before you even know what hit you. We’ve all definitely had that moment where you catch a whiff of Axe Body Spray and are immediately transported back to the hallways of your middle school, right?! Or smelling a fresh baked apple pie and remembering holidays spent at your grandmother’s house. All jokes aside, the sense of smell truly does have the power to bring you back to memories you didn’t even know you had.

How many of y’all celebrated National Wear LJ Day and the first day of Spring this year?! We loved seeing all of the fabulous LJ Day and Easter photos that you shared with us in the past few weeks, so we wanted to give you a big thank you for that!

Since it’s officially spring, we wanted to share with y’all some of Team LJCO’s favorite things about the season! We asked everyone “What is your favorite thing about Spring?”, and this is what some of them had to say!

Lauren: My favorite thing about spring is being outside!!  I get so inspired by just sitting outside and experiencing all of the amazing things about springtime in the South.  I love sitting outside with my sketch book and designing new dresses for the following spring… I was actually outside all morning doing just that! (Spring 2017 is already off to a great start!!)

Jonas: When I think of spring my immediate thoughts are of warmer weather, flowers blooming, and golf. Once the warm weather arrives the daily attire of shorts, sandals, and board shorts get pulled out from hibernation; and begins the visits to all the natural beauty around us: the Buffalo River, Devil’s Den, and Beaver Lake. Spring in northwest Arkansas is about getting outside and enjoying all the activities the natural state has to offer.

Tarah: Longer days and flowers blooming…but I could live without the terrible allergies that come with those flowers!

Travis: My favorite things about spring are dogwood trees blooming, the smell of cut grass, thunderstorms, and becoming a claritin junky. Also, in Alabama it’s been spring for most of winter.

Morgan: My favorite thing about spring is Daylight Savings Time! Your day feels like it goes on forever, so you feel like you can do a lot more in your day! 🙂

Chad: My favorite thing(s) about Spring in no particular order are: Spring brings longer days, baseball at Baum Stadium, crawfish boils, the return of the local Farmer’s Market, after-work patio beers, The Masters, shorts and no socks, backyard grilling, a new golf season, and tax refunds.

Y’all. Spring 2016 is launching in TWO DAYS! We can’t contain our excitement! Every single product in this collection has had hours of thought and detail poured into them, and it’s definitely our best season yet!

Today we’re sharing a little bit of our inspiration for how we dreamed our spring shoot to be, and we’re so happy with the amazing results! Check out our inspiration board and a one of our favorite pictures from the shoot, and mark your calendars for the huge launch this Sunday at 2pm CST!
