I Picture You In The Sun

March 24, 2011

Since I heard that Vancouver was pretty much the only place in North America that had nice weather today, begging my boyfriend to help me take some fun outdoor shots was without question. Going to school in a rural town provides for some pretty great back drops and this big grassy field next to a farm was perfect under the warmth of the sun!

I’ve dressed the frock in these photos up, down, and everywhere in between since getting it on consignment last year. It is easily one of my favourite pieces in my closet: it’s super versatile and comfortable, and since it’s 100% silk (including the lining!) I know it will last me forever. Definitely one of my best second hand finds!


{With my favourite person/photographer in the world!}

Wearing: 3.1 Phillip Lim dress, H&M hat and blazer, Wilfred belt, Halston Heritage flats, purse from Flok (took the chain off to carry as a clutch. Seen here), bangles from India

    I love this dress on you! I saw a similar shaped and patterned one at H&M recently and instantly thought of your cute little silk dress. Gorgeous photos!

    Awwww…

    Okay, really? When bloggers have talented boyfriend photographers, it kind of really pisses me off. But you and your boyf are so dang adorable and down to earth, it’s absolutely hard to hate anything about it.

    He takes great photos, and you make a great subject in fine livery.

    You guys are so effing cute, I wanna puke. *In the best way possible….*
