Fields of gold

Earlier in the week I picked up the most gorgeous vintage dress – I fell in love with the colour and lace detail.

I was also lucky enough to receive the most fabulous early birthday present from my darling fiancĂ© – a brand new Nikon D5000 SLR camera.

This is my first SLR and I couldn’t wait to start experimenting. Over the weekend we headed out to take these shots.

Valeriesoh said...

Hi darling, that's a wonderful vintage find!!! i was kinda puzzled as to what was happening with your dress because it looks like you were able to take it apart and put it back to pieces again?

Where are you living? your surroundings look great!!!

Very nice dress, the attention to detail on it makes it beautiful. And it suits you amazingly.

Your fiance must be a very very nice man!

I'm new to this fashion blogging, think it's a great outlet to discuss ideas/trends. Just starting a mens based blog, if you could check it out and give me any advice, it'd be much appreciated (:
