Fall... in love

The witchy winds, flying leaves, and bare limbs make me long to dance bare foot in dry grass, wild hair, billowing fabric flowing.

"There is almost nothing that has such a keen sense of fun as a fallen leaf"

What blushing fairy girl would not fall in love with the Autumn trees, ragged wings of red and brown flying in the wind.

Classic

I'm so inspired to make some deliciously simple cotton and silk dresses. Nothing more than what needs to be. I've started in on my first modern classical inspirations and I'm looking to style a Maxfield Parrish "girls on rocks" shoot. My broken camera was still under warranty, thankfully!! So soon I can fill you in with visual details.

Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Jodi Bowker, 1972

Romio and Juliet, Olivia Hussey, 1968

Take note from the Zeffirelli beauties, so simple and sweet, rosie cheeked, and natural.
