fragile


... is how I am feeling now, having just – just – missed out on my DREAM dress on ebay. The internet at work decided to craa.aa.aaa.a.w.llll during the crucial last minutes, and I was out bidded by all of about $2.50...

Cruel.

Whoever got the (my!) APC brown plaid sack (potato sack, according to my Mr) dress, enjoy... in my mind, it was already mine. :(

Yesterday, our strange weather gave us a warm, sunny day. Today, we had cold winds and rain, but yesterday I think I had one last stretch out in the sun. We went rowing...














silk top – witchery
dress and belt – thrifted
socks – levante
shoes – sportsgirl

You are stunning, sweet, lovely, amazing, beautiful & all the lovely things of the world.

Your photography is brilliant & I hope 'your' dress doesn't look as good on them as it would have done on you.

Oh, eBay can be so cruel indeed. Love the photos though!

oh i'm so sorry about your dress. recently at the vintage store i work at i had just discovered the PERFECT raincoat (bright green plastic with a giant hood, rolled sleeves, and a blue interior with little white boats) and some girl i kind of know from school bought it before i did! i though i was going to cry as i rang her up.

on a lighter note, i love those shoes and socks together.

miliusia said...

i love colors of your photos ;)

Sal said...

I hate it when that happens! Such disappointment.

Gotta echo everyone else here and say that these photos are simply breathtaking. Maybe your best batch yet, lady.

the golden fairy princess said...

i'm so sorry about your dress, how disappointing :( but i'm sure you take much better pictures than they do! i love the last one especially, the three sections with the pretty lace (umbie?) and water is so pretty.

Super Kawaii Mama said...

You MUST get onto Bidnapper! Without that aid of that invention there would be many tears around here. Especially beautiful photography today.

I always miss out on things on eBay by 1-2 dollars too. It's so frustrating (especially when you stop bidding because you're sticking to a budget but could so easily spare $2)!

But if it's any consolation, the photo of you in the silk top is just beautiful :)

mysterycreature said...

You always have very nice photography on your blog - I am very envious, as I always look slightly insane in m,y photos.

Bad luck on the dress!

Oh my God, I'm in love with your blog and your photos. It's just wonderful.

Lala Orange said...

your photos are quite divine- you are simply gorgeous! I love the sock/shoe combo xxx

Ambroisine said...

Great pictures, the colors & light are amazing !

Veronica Rhiannon said...

Nice pictures!

We've all experienced that awful ebay loss at one time or another, good luck working through yours.

Mine was with a flower-printed 1960's sundress, I was outbid in the last 1 minute by $1 and was too slow to react!

You're very beautiful, and "your" dress will never look the same on them. Just hope that it doesn't fit them and it's back on ebay in the next month!

xoxo

Anne said...

I really like the mood in this set. Very nice.

esme and the lane way said...

Thanks very much, it seems everyone has had a disappointing moment on the ebay – but there is lot's of good times there, too :)

Bucca: close – Studley Park! It is nice, but they make you wear life jackets :) Safety first, style a long way behind I 'spose! :D

Super Kawaii Mama: I am onto it! I hope I works, I can't take the strain of ebay haha!

Your photos are gorgeous. Top notch really.

I don't think I've seen anyone pull off the socks/sandal combo so brilliantly and naturally.

Lovely.

I don't know if you do link exchanges, but either way I am definitely linking your page.

Love. Gracie.
