(Erin x RVCA dress, vintage Escada sweater, Noir jewelry, Doc Marten 14 eye boots)

Well a minor trim turned into waving goodbye to a couple inches...this is why I hate having anyone touch my hair. Whatever..it grows faster in the warmer months anyway.

Springtime is essentially when I, along with the the bulk of femalekind, indulge myself in my favorite florals. I have a small collection of pieces that I'm satisfied enough with not to feel the pressure to expand - mainly a Forever21 cotton bustier, an unevenly hemmed floaty vintage number, the infamous Kate Moss pansy print, and now this perfect little tribute to the '90s. Speaking of which, Chasing Amy is on IFC right now and an infantile Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams in a mesh top are requiring my attention..

WOW! That first shot is absolutely AMAZING! Love it! Cute hat & floral dress too ;)

PS. Don't worry, cutting a few inches will only make the hair grow faster & stronger!

♡Karafina♡ said...

both photos have beautiful composition and that dress is perfect on you..

The Voguette said...

These shots are amazing! I love this dress.. my only floral (so far) is an unevenely hemmed vintage one as well! and I actually wore it in my last post.. hoping the uneven-ness isn't noticable haha!

iselin tara said...

Awsome!

Diabolina Da Fashionista said...

the photography keeps getting better and better

MT Days & Nights said...

Really great photos. I have long hair too and I hate when a "trim" turns into so much more!

lisa @ luxe said...

Awww, love that first photo and your hair looks great, can't wait to see it in more photos!

I loved Chasing Amy and JLA is adorable!

Beeeeeutiful first picture! Your bf is super talented! Has he been getting a lot of exposure because of this blog?

fabulous everything said...

i love your floral pieces! You have the best floral print collection. So jealous of your KM dress.

iwouldloveto said...

i felt so guilty adding to my summer floral collection...but i just Could Not resist the RVCA erin wasson dress when I actually saw it at barney's. I don't know How I thought i would deny the months of lusting after it, but I am glad I caved, wearing it literally makes me giddy. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am!!!

peace,
Kate

diane. said...

amazing! i love that dress, it's absolutely perfect.

will experiment with docs- i need a pink pair!

Mira said...

u know these 2 piks really show how good colin is with a cam! they are very light and dark adn i love the juxtaposition of ure florals with cracked concrete.nature v industrial.kinda ironic.

Fashion Tidbits said...

AMAZING PICTURES!

Skönt Hemma said...

FANTASTISKA BILDER!!!

absolutely astounding first photo. Id buy the dress just to try and have some SORT of awesomeness that exudes from this post.

thanks for the inspiration!

Nita-Karoliina said...

beautifull pictures! How are you doing these days? seems pretty well. any model bookings? cant wait to see your work!

Yay to Kevin Smith flicks! Clerks (the first one) has gotta be one of my favorites of all time.

i reckon one of the best photos youve posted, the best perhaps. the first one is amazing. smart choice of location! finally. love love love the dress.....

Miss Kar said...

The first picture is gorgeous.

jamie clare said...

these are amazing shots. still colin? that boy has been gettin' goooooooooood. he definitely has a career ahead of him, too.

Anonymous said...

These pics are really, really good. And the lost-little-girl-street-urchin-ish theme works really well on you... *especially* with the shorter locks. I think it brings more attention to your face, and what a previous poster said... looks healthier!

L.Luna said...

That top photo is absolutely stunning! I know what you mean about the haircut, my hair feels stubby after my last one.

JEYQ said...

The first shot is INSANITY.
freaking BANANAS rumi, bananas.

Colin's getting pretty bad ass with his photography skills. kudos to him!

Anonymous said...

does anyone know what stores carry the erin wasson line for rvca (particularly that floral dress) besides online?

caylee said...

springtime always brings on the floral cravings...

& i so love this dress!

catherine said...

I recently discovered your blog and have to say I am addicted to it already. The light in the first picture is magic. Well done. I need more.

Wow, that first shot is amazing. yet another great outfit.

Lauren said...

It looks as if your on a texturally strange planet in the first shot, really addicting to stare at!

Your hair does look healthier, you need to really hit your hairdressers though?! They don't listen and just chop away!

Love the florals you look stunning

i was wondering if you still had that kate moss dress, it looked amazing on you.

Meg said...

First photo is stunning, kind of reminds me of the centre of a tornado or something. Peaceful yet omenous.

I was super disappointed with that dress when I tried it on but I guess I just don't have the frame to work it. You do!

Elizabeth Victoria C said...

First shot is incredible, Colin's photos look so professional now. I hate the hairdressers to, they can never just trim, they always have to take inches off! xx

City Girl Knows said...

Absolutley adore the first pic - your guy is getting better and better with his photographs!

Talk Pretty To Me said...

Yea I hate going to the salon too they always cut off way way way too much last time my long hair was almost above my shoulders and I thought I was going to just die.

and I am equally obsessing with my floral prints as well!

harps said...

the photography is amazing, its just a shame we can't see more of the outfit. this blog is supposed to be about fashion, but these days its more of a showcase of Colin's skills. He should start his own blog

Hayley said...

I love these shots, they are amazing. The outfit is great aswell. I'm also indulging myself in the the floral items in my wardrobe, although I always want more.

Hayley.

FASHIONconfectionairy said...

The angle on the first picture is incredible. Amateur photography has left the station. I'm in awe of your boyfriends photography skills.

that first shot looks like an editorial right out of Paris Vogue !

Christina Chan said...

Thank the gods you got a bloody haircut! Those ends looked like they were dead and buried. Next, a color. Personally, I think you should back to your roots so you can stand out more. Now, you just look like every other asian girl with white-washed dreams and I can talk because I AM asian.

Austintable said...

I have gone on this blog basically everyday since last summer, and I have to say these are by far my FAVORITE shots ever. First of all, bravo to you BF, whose photography gets better and better as time goes on. He really captured some amazing light, and the way in which the broken tarmac forms around you makes you look like your on a small island - and the composition is stunning. In addition to this your outfit is beautiful! Again, prob my favorite. I love the floral dress and how it contrast against the gray - ugh AMAZING.

Okay, been on the fence about getting a trim & this is seriously a sign. "Trims" are always regrettable.

yeah. you're hot and you dress well. but for the sake of your readers....wanna actually put some effort into your posts besides vain pictures of yourself??? i really have nothing against vanity- who can deny it? but serously....143 comments and you dont give a rats ass. please. write something mildly funny. really...i dont dislike you at all....in fact, i started checking your blog twice a week two months ago. the hype made me do it. i still havent read anything on her that lived up to that hype. hey i love a success story when i hear one. please live up to it?? this shiz is boring.

Golden Girl Olive said...

It's funny you mentioned Chasing Amy because as soon as I saw this outfit, Clueless popped into my mind. The dress, the boots, the sweater, the multiple rings-it's like a mash-up of the 90's. I love throwback styling.

Jag vill göra dej uppmärksam på min bröllopsblogg ifall du missat den,

Min sambo och jag har inte råd med vårat drömbröllop hur vi än vänder och vrider på ekonomin så finns det inga pengar övers att lyckas med bröllop så vi startade ett socialt experiment och hoppas på svenska folkets stöd att få våran dröm att gå i uppfyllelse. redan nu har företag och privatpersoner från hela sverige hört av sej och vill göra sitt.

nu hoppas jag på din hjälp.
kanske en länkning eller lägga till mej via bloglovin?
om du inte har möjlighet med mer?

ha en underbar helg och hoppas på ditt stöd
