Look Book: Floral Dress + Purple Tights

Jun 19, 2012

This past weekend we woke up to rain, so much rain! In my case, that meant some very unruly and uncooperative hair. On Saturday we headed out for hot pot, such perfect comfort food and a weekend tradition around here. We then took a drive to Pitt Meadows, which has the prettiest scenery... old fences, rolling hills, barns, and long winding country roads. I, of course, jotted down lots of location ideas for the blog and can't wait to go back once this darn rain subsides!
Aren't these photos lovely?! I left Martin in charge of the shoot. I normally set everything up and find all the compositions, but Martin decided to do this one on his own, and honestly, I just wanted to stand there and not think! ;) After last week's "knock you on your butt" flu, my energy level is still feeling pretty low. As for this week, I have a rather unsightly amount of work to catch up on - my inbox is busting at the seams. But I'm sure that will be balanced by the fact that I've made lots of fun plans to hang out with my girlfriends too. Enjoy your Tuesday, guys!
Outfit Details:
Denim Jacket - H&M (similar)
Dress - Swapped, The Signature Bow
Tights - Joe Fresh (similar)

    You look so lovely in these photos. The dress and denim jacket are so lovely together!
    Your hubby is talented. I wanted to ask, did Martin appear in Supernatural after? We just got done watching series 7 (we love it ) and it reminded me to ask you as i remember you mentioning it. xx

  16. Wasn't this weekend's rain the worst? I'm so impressed that you managed to get some photos, anyway - and a big high five to Martin for capturing some fabulous shots without direction! I love how you styled Leonie's summer dress for a less than summery day, those purple tights are the absolute perfect match. Here's hoping we have some brighter days coming our way soon - and good luck with your inbox, I totally know the feeling!

  31. Here it was raining all the last week - I'm a bit happy to see that I (or the germans) are not the only people not having summer at the moment ;-) Sometimes when looking at blogs, it seems to me that there is always great weather everywhere!
    And I love your dress, and I defninitely need such sandals too!!!

  39. Martin did such a great job with these photos, Veronika! I agree that sometimes us girls need to let go of our control freak tendencies and let the guys do their thing - clearly Martin has quite a talent ;) You look adorable as usual and I'm glad you've recovered from the flu. Fingers crossed for sunshine this weekend so we can all get on with the blogging!

  45. Oh goodness you look wonderful! I wish I could wear tights around this time of year, but I'd be roasting! I love how enchanting/romantic these photos are (rainy days are my favorite!) My hair seems to go wild on rainy days too, but I'm okay with that :).

    I hope you recover soon from your illness! Having the flu is never good - yikes! xoxox

  46. These photos are so pretty. And this is my kind of summer outfit! I'm seriously wearing my jean jacket with everything right now. lol.

    It's been really rainy here too. I'm going camping this weekend and I am praying that it doesn't rain the whole time.
