What She Wore: Fairy Girl

Today's What She Wore is so fun and creative, I couldn't help but share with you!  Lydia's creativity and personal style of layering clothing items is all her own.  While layering is an achievable one and a great way to display your own unique style, it is one that when mastered comes by way of both intentional thought and great creativity. This is both A brain AND B brain going on here.  I remember the first time I met Lydia's now husband, Scott.  I said to him "your sweet girlfriend reminds me of a fairy!" And with that, Scott lovingly replied, "that's what I call her."  Love, love. 

Layering ensures no one else will have your look.  And let's not forget all those luscious details.

I'm a sucker for a romantic lace blouse, and I do think this one is exquisite!

Truth be told, I've never owned a pair of moccasins.  This pair marries boho + glam just splendidly!  This are the pair Lydia wears. 

Shop Free People's full run of lace dresses for the fairy in you!  This black lace mini dress is so gypsy sexy.

This Dress Made Me Do It

Dress: Free People.  Shoes: B Brian Atwood. Bracelets: Thanks to Blydesign. Earrings: Lettees by way of Back Yard Baby. Sunglasses: Blinde. Ring: Melinda Maria.

Yes, this dress made me put my hands on my hip and strike a pose.  And maybe the shoes, which are now on serious sale.  I think that is an occupational hazard of working with real live models.  What else is a girl to do with her hands than put them on her hips?  Well, I learned from one photographer friend this week that, as it turns out,  putting your hands on your hips in photos is like saying "I have no idea what to do with my hands."  Well, Ok.  And, since I am no model, on the hips they go.  Interesting stuff though. Anyway, as I said, the dress made me do it. I love the cuts on this dress which show just a tiny peak of skin in the front and back.  Below are a few currently available cut out dresses I love.

Styling Allison Dunavant

Photography: Kristia Knowles and Doug Brooks.  Lighting: Carl Miller. Model: Allison Dunavant. Wardrobe: Se Moi. Hair and Makeup: Deme Fourtounis. Videography: Kenneth Quiller II 

Without question, this is one of my favorite shoots ever.  It was an all star weekend jammed packed with models, clothes, make up, accessories, flashing lights, flying clothes, laughter and creativity just pouring from everyone on set. When I look at these pictures of model Allison Dunavant, the first thing always on the tip of my brain is Those Eyes.  She reminds me of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.  Is it just me?  See it all go down here.  Gaaahh! Those eyes!!
