If it appears moody in many of my pictures it is because it is raining: and I mean that it was raining when I took them and just about every minute between then and now has been wet as well. It is a world of grey out there. I had to continually wipe the lens...
Enough whining about the weather! Several people have inquired about my nail polish. Right now I am wearing a matte grey by Knock Out. It was actually a polish that I received on my last trip to NYC and it has definitely become one of my favorites. I am completely addicted to matte despite only having two matte varnishes. I would really like to try out the matte black and white as well, but unfortunately the cost is slightly preventative. I am quite the fan of nail polish (as many people have noted), but I'm rather cheap with them. An easy way to stretch your polish and try new colors is to mix fresh shades with polish you already own.
Outfit details:
vintage feather fascinator
Urban Outfitters jacket
vintage dress
Fred Flare tights
boots from some shop in Greece
Knock Out matte nail polish
Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
This dress is just darling! (and you look darling in it!) I love the pretty bun...and I also love the moody atmosphere..gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteadorable dress!
ReplyDelete& did you know american apparel has matte nail polish?

:)

I absolutely love that last picture-- it sorta reminds me of that famous painting where the man is atop a mountain looking out into the hazy abyss.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm always afraid that you'd fall into the water! you're so close!

What a perfect dress to make a drab day a little more exciting. I especially love the detailing.. ugh and I wish I could wear nailpolish.. Starbucks is against it! Why?!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you find vintage dresses that fit you in all the right places! I never have such luck and I think we're about the same size! If you're ever in London, we'd have to go shopping together!
ReplyDeleteI am always in awe of your outfits and the settings you find to take your photos!
ReplyDeleteI want this dress!
ReplyDeleteadoreable.:)
such a cute dress!!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures inspire me daily! They are so unique and different.
I happen to love the feel, the whole ambiance of rainy days, and you look just adorable pondering out there with the puddles and raindrops.
ReplyDelete(I happen to love your hair too! We pixie-cut gals sometimes yearn for 'long enough locks' to wrap around in a chic little bun!)
Oh-so-pretty as always.

i love their nailpolish! i don't have this color though, i will have to order it. your dress is adorable!
ReplyDeleteits hard when you live in a weather centric city - in vegas when it isnt blazing hot, were usually pretty chilly. theres only a window around spring break and fall when its sort of nice. you just accomodate life to the weather
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this outfit,
ReplyDeleteIts so lovely.
The dress is beautiful, the cut is great!

wonderful photos!!! i love how 'gloomy' they look like but still so meaningful.. you take the best angles ever!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the look of matte nail polish! You should try Essie's matte topcoat,you can put it over any colour to make it matte, it's about $10 so it's not really cheap but it will save you the cost of buying a bunch of matte colours.
ReplyDeletei am always amused by your poses, i sometimes studies them as youve become a pro at it, haha that doesnt sound creepy at all.
ReplyDeletehope tomorrow will be a better and sunny day for you!
Beautiful! Is that a tattoo on your back? :) A butterfly or something?
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute!! and can we please just switch weathers... ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course I miss your outfit posts! They are always so stunning, and pretty :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this shoot. amazing photograpy.

To say I think the vintage dress is exactly the prarie style I'm after is an understatement...what a great find!
ReplyDeleteCool styling and the moody enviro is creepy cool.
Yech I hated the rain when I was going to school in WA. I've traded it for the snow in MA, I'm still trying to figure out which is less depressing.
ReplyDeleteI just love your photos, the way you pose the way they are taken.. i just dont have the confidence, sigh!
ReplyDeletethanks for the info on the nail polish!! I too love matt nail polish a great make it Barry M they do every colour in matt and its dead cheap :)

Gorgeous! It's been cloudy here too but we've been getting a few days with sun! I love the mood in these and that dress is really sweet. Also, the word verification for this comment is "fartl", haha.
ReplyDeletethat dress reminds me of a dress i sewed for my doll when i was younger and loved so much she wore almost nothing else.
ReplyDeletei am loving florals in winter (or rain).
gorgeous as always, and eternal inspiration of great style and art of photography. Doing photos by yourself is a challenge per se, and you... you rock :)
ReplyDeleteI love these photos; especially the last one! Haunting.
ReplyDeleteSarah Yvonne
You always have some of the most beautiful photo locations! I love that feather fascinator you're wearing.
ReplyDeleteoh rebecca, you are sooooooo gorgeous. :D <3<3<3
ReplyDeleteI love your dress, and I like how the rain is splashing on the lake while you're standing next to it :)
ReplyDeleteestás preciosaaaaaaaaaaa ;)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty dress!
ReplyDeleteOMG...Lovely dress......It would be a dream come true if I find a similar one that fits me.....
ReplyDeleteoh my! how i wish that was my dress! so, so pretty!
ReplyDeletei would love to try matte nail varnish too. however working in catering means that nails varnish in the kitchen is a no-no! it makes me sad :(
ReplyDeleteI love this mood. You enkindle my longing to live in the wilderness I've never been out to the Northwest, but I'd love to see it. Grey can get you down, it's true, but at least your photos always have a certain something, don't they? I love this dress, too, and your hair.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I looove the moodiness of these photos - so atmospheric! It reminds me of Pride & Prejudice (Keira Knightley version).
ReplyDeleteThat fascinator is so lovely.
Cute!!! I love the dress :) The lacy lining around the neck is perfect!
ReplyDeletewow really wonderfull!
ReplyDeletexx frm http://asianeyedgirl.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteI love the gloominess in all of these photos.

ReplyDeletesuch a fun dress!
ReplyDeletethat dress is gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteWow the scenery here looks beautiful, as do you, I love the feather headband! x
ReplyDeletethat dress is so adorable, and I love the moody dreamy feel of your photos.
ReplyDeleteI know this is more about the fashion, but I swear your photography keeps getting better every time!
you always have such beautiful photos!! i also love your outfit!! can i ask, if thats a tattoo on your back?? and if so what??
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite outfits of yours! I love the big puffy sleeves and especially the darkening sky. Hope you get some sunshine soon!
ReplyDeleteJenny
these photos were reminding me of something and i couldn't quite figure out what. tess of the d'urbervilles i thought at first but no. they remind me of rebecca by daphne du'maurier. isn't that funny? i had the images from hitchcock's film in my head trying to place which one and it turned out to be the one of your own name. i read it just after high school at my english teacher's recommendation. if you haven't read it or seen either the hitchcock or the masterpiece theater version i suggest you seek them out!
ReplyDeleteI love your dress and boots they are so cute on you :)
ReplyDeletevery cute pointing shot, I am surprised it is raining there - here not so much.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are awesome not just for the fashion element but also for how they were taken - great job!
ReplyDeletei love the scenery in your pics!! u lucky girl- you get to play in such beautiful nature!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are beautiful! and your outfit is amazing! i love that dress!
ReplyDeleteyour vintage dress is darling!
ReplyDeleteI'm so over this constant gloom and doom weather too! And, I've never tried this, but I've heard that an easy trick to making non-matte nail polishes appear to be is to apply a coat of your typical base coat on the top. It should cut out the shine.
ReplyDeleteadorable adorable adorable. and, is that a tattoo on your shoulder blades?
ReplyDeletethat dress is beautiful
ReplyDeleteyou look beautiful! that dress is stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress!
