Lilacs and Violets

retrospec'd norma jean sweet violet dress

There are a few reasons I'm so excited to finally share these photos today: 1) I'm obsessed with this Retrospec'd dress 2) these photos capture my favorite time of year (lilac time!) and 3) I got the chance to shoot with my friend Emma, whose photos I've included among my own. Not only is Emma a great photographer, but she's become a dear friend since she was hired as one of our content writers. She's truly wonderful to work with and I can't wait to do more with her this summer. Be sure to check out the Emma Rizzo Photo website for more of her work!

It's official: I have a new favorite retro reproduction brand. Retrospec'd has some of the highest quality dresses I've seen in a long time, and their prints are to die for. I actually received this dress as a Christmas present from my mom, but I decided to save it for the spring. It's quickly become one of my favorite dresses and now I'm on a mission to get my hands on as much Retrospec'd as possible!

  1. Oh it's SO fun to have a friend snap some photos for you, isn't it? I love taking my own but sometimes, it's just a nice change and can be a bit more productive as you can focus on posing and not worry about the camera! I love that anyway!

    I am starting to really love Retrospec'd - they make SUCH good quality items!! This dress is lovely! I might have audibly gasped when I opened this post!! Great pick and yay for getting it for Christmas! Score!!
