Dethrose Lookbook 2013

I know Summer is almost over and it is a bit late to put out look book for the season. But you know what? Pretty soon it will be Fall/Winter and you'll be heading to a sunny vacation spot or at least dreaming of one...

Are you Green?!

Environmentally speaking that is. No matter what your reasons are for loving vintage fashion and buying it, just know that you are contributing to making the earth a wee bit better. Wearing and buying vintage IS a way of recycling. It's very rare I wear something that isn't vintage, I mean head to toe from my shoes to my hair accessories, it's all Vintage. Usually when its not, it's either a gift or something I have had for a while. Now, I am not one who will judge someone for not wearing vintage or not being environmentally conscious of the clothing on their back. I too slip now and again and buy from Anthropologie:)

Anyway, here is my "Green" outfit for today while visiting home. Aside from the flower rings, everything is VINTAGE:) 

Also, for all my readers on the east coast and those with family there, my thoughts are with you and please, please stay safe. My brother David & my sister in law Angie, who made an appearance in my last few posts, live in North-East Florida and for bit there we were very worried. But they are both safe and sound! I hope the same goes to you and your loved ones <3

I am in love with this handbag, look at the chain! It's super long and so comfy to carry.
 I have been trying new things with my new found love for french braiding. Today I started the braid upside down and then pinned the tail to the side. I can't wait to see what I come up with as my hair continues to grow! I haven't had this long of hair in 4 years!!

 I'm going to see Deerhunter, Cat Power and The Roots tomorrow night! What do you all have planned for the weekend??

Round Two

About a month ago I shot this dress in front of my Christmas Tree. This was the perfect little cotton dress I received in a dress Swap from the lovely Quincy from Q's Daydream! I wanted to reshoot it again in a outdoor setting. Once again the weather was not on my side but I made it work. I actually loved how the photos turned out. We were in the middle of the woods, down in Southern Illinois and the darkness really made the dress pop! The colors turned out so vibrant and showed just how cute this little darling dress is. I have never shot in the dark before so we had a little fun experimenting! I think the photos came out with this erie, little girl lost in the woods vibe. 

On another note, just wanted to say a quick thank you to Chicago Now for writing such lovely things about my Look Book. Thank you for the recognition and for seeing all the hard work Blow-Up Creative and Dethrose did to make it! 

 It was actually super dark in this photo but I photo shopped it to show the landscape.
