Vaguely Leaks Away

Emerging Thoughts recently sent me the new Darling line to photograph for the shop. This dress with the pearl collar was my favorite from the collection and I was sad to return it. I'm such a minimalist so I enjoy dresses with details like this collar that double as jewelry. It won't be in stock for a little while, so I'll hold off on the other pictures until everything is available, but I couldn't resist sharing these now. Anyway, my friend Jon and I visited the abandoned star barn complex to photograph everything in--we love the light leaks in those old buildings. I need more adventuring friends--I want to wander somewhere new every weekend, skin my knees climbing trees and rickety staircases and find so many forgotten things...Of course when Jon did encourage me to go upstairs I went about two steps into the second level felt the earth quake and trotted back down. It's far too early in the summer for a broken leg.

I love the way you made such a formal dress more casual with you saddle shoes! You always find the best locations, and Jon always takes beautiful pictures of you. It's been fun to see how you're playing with light more in your photographs.

I would find it hard to send back that dress too, the collar is so lovely and the sheer part of the dress is so intriguing!

Just beautiful, Rebecca! I love the detailing on the collar. You're channeling Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn here -- just lovely :)

I always love your musings on the importance of bashing yourself up a bit in the summer... mind you, I then tripped over a suitcase and nearly broke my elbow, which put it in a bit of perspective, but still...

I'm glad you put safety first!

Such an unusual dress with the almost floating look of the collar and yet very pretty.
