Simplicity is Bliss Vintage

While mindlessly shopping online for dresses I am never going to buy I stumbled upon an Etsy shop called Simplicity Is Bliss. It's a fully vintage shop with over a hundred articles of clothing. The dresses above are only a few of the pieces that ended up in my shopping cart. I love the simple, flattering cuts of these dresses. When I (*fingers crossed*) find an affordable sewing machine I'm going to try and mimic these patterns. I also can't get over how gorgeous the textiles are. The patterns are so detailed and the colors so vibrant. Any pick of these would be the the centerpiece of a perfect summer outfit.

Story of Decay Part 1

In photography class, I was asked to document a still life over a three week period. The purpose was to capture the changes that occurred due to time alone.

Warm afternoon sun kept the flowers alive while the cool morning light was perfect to expose the death and decay of the three week old bouquet. I want to find a unique way to display my final storyboard; perhaps in the foyer of my dream home...
