Sunflower Power

All photos by Emma Rizzo

I'm wrapping up my summertime posts with these amazing sunflower snaps that Emma captured. We had a truly magical experience at Frederick Farms back in August. This sunflower field is by far the biggest I've ever seen. We spent most of the afternoon there and then went back at golden hour. It was such a special day that I won't forget for a very long time. These are also among my favorite photos Emma has taken of me. I'm super lucky to have such a great friend and collaborator – and to have gotten a chance to see these amazing flower fields up close!

This dress from Vixen by Micheline Pitt was perfect for a day in the country. I'm also debating whether I want to take it with me to Florida, since it's going to be hot and humid there (which is going to be pretty weird, considering temperatures have been in the 40s here). I'm working just a few days this week and then I'll be off to Disney World! Which reminds me... you'll definitely want to come back here on Wednesday. I've got something magical in store! :)

Another day, another floral. I'm trying to work through my photo backlog so I can start showcasing more autumnal outfits! If you're not a florals-in-fall kind of person, I think this Micheline Pitt For Unique Vintage "Budding Beauties" dress could work well for a Disneybound or quick Halloween get-up. Pretty much all of my outfits could become costumes in a pinch!

Although this rose print dress definitely skews more summery, the heavy cotton sateen works well for any time of year. Next time I style it, I'll be opting for a cardigan and ditching the belt (since the waist of the dress is a bit below my natural waist, I think it makes the belt look funny). I really adore this dress overall and I think the small details make it special. I sized up to an XL in this dress due to the way the bust is constructed, which was definitely the right move. While the waist might be half-inch too big, the bust is perfect – and I think that's what matters with this kind of dress.

Lately, I'm trying to achieve a better balance between my work and my personal life, so I'm trying not to work later into the evenings (and consequently, give myself more time to blog for pleasure). But I'll be starting rehearsals pretty soon, which means life is about to get busy. It seems like there are never enough hours in the day to do everything... Wish me luck in trying!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
