I must say, it's been lovely to get back into the swing of things with California photo-shoots! This particular photo set was shot near where I grew up. It's amazing how much nostalgia my old home still holds for me all these years later.
On a less lovely note, have any of you ever had one of those days where your photo session goes wacky in every way? It has been sunny the entire day, but in this one area where I wanted to shoot pictures it was overcast, and SO ridiculously windy. And to top it off, my brain was all foggy- some days thinking of photo composition and poses can be too much for my pre-occupied little head to handle- haha!
This is one of my new favorite dresses, I think. I feel like in my every day life I have been wearing casual clothes a lot more than usual due to the Summer heat, so getting back into a girly, vintage dress always helps to re-inspire ;) This lovely piece is from Etsy shop, Little French Dress. This shop has such a pretty aesthetic- as feminine and pretty as the dress itself! I am excited to style this as a fall transitional piece when the weather starts to simmer down a bit :)
Anyone catch the fact that my hair is officially long enough for a little beehive hairdo? I am so happy to have it at a length where I can do things with it again. I don't think I realized how much I missed the versatility of a little length.
Dress: c/o Little French Dress
Shoes: Shoe Buy

I'm definitely loving the beehive and this pastel dress is perfectly gorgeous on you! Love the stripes!

Pastel colours suit you quite well, I have to say! You're really channeling Audrey Hepburn today :)
Even though you say your session went all wacky, this may be one of my favorite shoots with you in it; everything looks really natural and still quite elegant.

It happens to us all the time.. photo shoots not being as we imagined because of the weather (and not only).
That being said, your pics turned out beautiful and we're in love with the soft colors of your dress.
Hugs,

You dress reminds me of cotton candy, I love it! Beautiful photos, dear :)
I think in the UK, it's pretty much standard that the weather will try to ruin every single outside shoot you ever do... its current favourite tactic is what I will refer to as the Mini Tornado. Luckily, your pictures still turned out lovely regardless. I love those shoes, they would be so useful to have a similar pair of - they'd match everything!
Such an adorable dress!
Woow what a wonderful outfit! <3
I will reply on your email soon! Thank you for everything :) <3
That dress is just perfection. So beautiful!

I can definitely see why this dress is a favorite. It is delectable.
I actually prefer overcast weather for photo shoots, but the mountains make the "golden hour" harder to get anyway, so... I'd have never of known the weather was giving you a hard time here though!
Such gorgeous colours in this dress, and I love your little beehive! <3
This dress looks so beautiful on you and the photos are amazing - definitely worth the effort!
Such a delightful dress! And I love the aesthetic of the photo shoot. So retro!

Beautiful photos and dress, Alex. And agh, I totally understand about photoshoots going wrong! Sometimes it seems I can't get one to be focused, or flattering :-P

Hi! I am a lover of vintage and I enjoy all of your blog posts. You're outfits are so pretty. Very inspiring! I think that in the second black and white shot, you look just like Audrey Hepburn! I love the dress and the colours. Visit my photography blog at http://fullbloomphotos.wordpress.com/
Ooh, this dress! It's so dreamy, especially those colors! And I totally know what you mean about having off photo shoots. This one turned out great though! (Although I think every single one of your photo shoots is fantastic.)

I love seeing your posts and everything you pick out is so unique and full of style. How long does it take for you to assemble your outfits?
This dress and your overall look here totally looks like something from the 60s!
In love with your dress. These pics are so so beautiful!
