The Arcade brings sunshine and flowers

Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.

I was looking for a quote for my pictures and came across “Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.” It was attributed to Walt Whitman which struck me as bizarre. It does not sound the least bit like Whitman. Whitman wrote things like “Give me the splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling!” The internet is good for many things, but it’s been a disaster to those who want proper attribution for quotes. Thankfully there are those who are combatting error like The Quote Investigator.

The Arcade has arrived and with June comes sunshine and flowers, not just outdoors, but even on the wall.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.

I shot these pictures in the small attic bedroom at the top of Scarlet Creative’s romantic Daisy Weathered House at The Arcade. With ivy and moss on the walls and roofs, delicate floral wallpaper and so many gables it would make Nathaniel Hawthorne jealous, this house is everything.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.

I am wearing a one-shouldered sundress from !Go¡ that has lovely stylized flowers embroidered on the ruffle with tassels. I worse sandals with it from Fri.day. Both are found at The Arcade.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.

My hair is from INK, at The Arcade. I dug these earrings out of my closet. They’re from Handwork and I thought wearing tassel earrings would be a fun complement to the tassels on my dress.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.

My makeup is Glam Affair’s gorgeous Kiara for Collabor88. Today is the last day of Collabor88, so hustle.
