Pure of Heart

I'm back!



It's been a little slow around here for a bit, but I will be slowly getting back to updating this blog on a more regular basis.

Summer is almost here and I'm on the hunt for discovering beautiful landscapes, secret gardens, hidden passageways and etc. Blogging can force you to open your eyes a bit more to your surroundings and have a new appreciation for what once was just a route to get you from point A to B.



For example, there is a beautiful old church right next to this gazebo that I used to attend when I was younger. The land surrounding the church is stunning and there were so many photo friendly areas to explore but time was against me..oh well.



My outfit is a bit simple, but I for whatever reason decided to wear a flower crown with this floaty white frock. Flower crowns and wreaths are so lovely and I enjoy seeing bloggers wearing them, but they're not the easiest to pull off. I felt a little bashful walking around with mine (and a little juvenile ) at first, but I shrugged off my feelings after the first few photos. You only live once...shake it up a little.

A timeless beauty


For a lovely picnic day





My latest dress crush!

The 50's have to be my favourite style period for vintage and vintage inspired dresses, and this dress in particular would have been perfect for that era.

The classic (and flattering) A-Line shape, the floral tie at the back, the polka dots (my weakness) and the clinched waist, all make for a timeless dress that can work for almost any occasion.
I do love experimenting with colours and shapes from time to time in fashion, but a simple dress that hugs every curve like a dream can also do wonders.

Mark my words, you will see this dress pop up very soon (if I can help it) for a special style post. Now to find the perfect picnic spot to show it off!

If I Only Knew...

... How self conscious I would be in this dress (yeah, yeah - boo 'freakin' hoo).



I love the blue mountains dress (a lovely gift from someone special) and any dress with pleats will my make my day, but length is not for me without tights. I'm happy that the weather shift has been steadily Spring appropriate but that unfortunately means that the tights have to go back in deep into the closet (unless they're super light). I know, suck it up and deal, but I love my tights collection.



Couple my discomfort of the dress length with some creeper that was randomly lurking about and staring during this session (my backyard doesn't have a fence, so it's a free for all), I didn't get that many shots in.

I'm thinking it's time to start scouting out other areas to take pictures. I'll make it my aim to go into a lovely park or some sort very soon...

To Be With You...

Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday (celebrating for all the moms out there!).

I just wanted to post this for today and state for the record, I would love to live in this video for a day (and steal her dress and flower crown)!
