Spring Awakening

 Vintage dress and necklace; Jessica Simpson hat; Atomic Warehouse earrings.
I'm so excited that spring has finally arrived! Here's to the scent of moist earth, the melody of birds singing, and the feel of a fresh breeze blowing through one's hair. I was fortunate to experience all of these delights on my recent shoot, and wanted to capture the magic of spring in a slightly alternative and dark manner. (Hence the noir makeup combined with the dreamy bohemian dress and hat.)
I know I'm always bemoaning how busy my life is, but now things seem busier than ever. So many plans are in the works in multiple aspects of my life that I feel like I'm physically being pulled in a million directions! I can't give away any details, but I'm sure you guys will understand my hectic state once I finally do reveal some of these projects. Hopefully things will sort themselves out soon and I'll be able to successfully juggle all my apples and oranges.
Mwah! Mwah!

Beautiful. I love the dress, as well as the photos themselves. Your blog is one of the most aesthetically pleasing blogs I've seen. I hope one of your projects will bring you more exposure - you deserve it! I've pinned several of your images on Pinterest. Hang in there and don't wear yourself out.

Well... said...

You are so creative...so many people think spring and immediately wear floaty layers and pastel colors. But not you! I love the long, spring-like dress, but the dark touches are what completed it in my opinion. You are just stunning!
That black lipstick and hat are perfect <3
