Forever21 dress and shoes; Miss Ruth's Time Bomb hair flower; vintage rings.
For some reason, these pictures remind me of the term "faerie-struck". (The word faerie-struck actually reminds me of one of my favorite songs, Thunderstruck by AC/DC, hence the blog post title.) It is said that humans, caught up in the otherworldly splendor of coming face-to-face with a faerie for the first time, have a tendancy to feel a bit deleriously surreal. The magical rainbow twinkle lights, coupled with the mysteriously dark outdoor scenery and array of ancient-looking rings and hair flower makes for a pretty good faerie-struck themed photoshoot.
The dress is just a simple stretchy maxi that I got on clearance from Forever21 (so are the shoes, but you can hardly see them), the vintage hair flower is from Miss Ruth's Time Bomb, and the rings are an array of vintage finds. My friend Rebecca (who shot the pictures) did most of my makeup. I love how she used a combination of gold and silver eye glitter, perfectly accented by the pale shimmery lipstick.
Ohhh I nearly forgot! I won the WM Style contest! Thanks to all of you who voted for me! =)
Mwah! Mwah!

Oh, that striped dress is a dream! Fantastic pictures!
Gorgeous dress! Reminds me of an outfit I saw on the runway but forgot who the designer was...
I like your creative outfit and the dreamy and unexpected color scheme. The fairy lights, as they call little Christmas lights in England, look magical.
Love,
R.C.
So great photos! I love how you combine fashion with photography art! You are so unique!
Happy 2011!

Love, love it!
love your rings. Cool shoots.
Love it so cool
You arise beauteous in the horizon of the heavens
Oh living Aten who creates life.
When you shine forth in the Eastern horizon you fill every land with your beauty.
You are so beautiful: you are great; gleaming and high over every land.
Your rays embrace the lands and all you have created;
You are Re and reach out to all your creations, and hold them for your beloved Son.
You are afar, but your rays touch the earth;
Men see you, but know not your ways.
Thanks...sweet sugar!
Wonderfull picturesss as always!!
There is a vintage feeling to each of these shots that is so 70s and so appealing. I really enjoy each and everyone of them mixed with the big red flower of the 70s. It's romantic and touching.
looking gorgeous in the maxi dress!
and the 3rd photo is awesome
xoxo
Fabulous fairy lights! They make the shoot so magical!
