string of heart

One of the many perks of working at WORN is getting to be involved in a slew of photoshoots before each new issue. Another perk is being able to write about things that I genuinely want to write about, as well as things that are quite personal. When these two perks combined on Tuesday afternoon in a suite at the Gladstone Hotel, I thought my heart would never get back to a moderate rhythm. The photoshoot was for an article I am currently writing for Issue 13 of WORN. These are some photographs taken by Peter Wornette during the shoot. It's quite an unnerving feeling being the model, and not knowing what the shots looked like, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed (well at least not by the lovely setting and dress, my expression might be another story).

Down in the Valley

This is some of the film from my trip to Tennessee. We drove through Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and finally landed ourselves in Manchester TN for Bonnaroo. It was shockingly hot and dusty, which certainly didn't make for much choice outfit wise (and the clothes that I did end up wearing need a thorough cleaning post Manchester). Despite the blaring heat and minimal shade at the festival, the music was definitely worth the battle we put our bodies through. On the last day I got to see The Head and the Heart (which I must admit I teared up after one note during Rivers and Roads), Aunt Martha, John Waters and Beirut, which certainly made for a wonderfully packed day. Other highlights for me included Wanda Jackson (she was so adorable and told a story about dating Elvis) and of course, Mumford and Sons.

 

Viens Petite Fille dans Mon Worn: Behind the Scenes

These photos are some silly behind the scenes fun we had at a video shoot I'm directing for WORN. I was really excited to debut my new glasses on our model LeeAnna, they were the perfect little touch, and she looked so charming. After the shoot had wrapped, Solange and I took some photos blowing bubbles and running around with balloons, and they were too adorable to resist sharing. I really should be editing right now, but I can't seem to focus on anything but Tennessee.

all I have to do is dream

With my trip to Tennessee under a week away I've begun making imaginary outfits that will (hopefully) somehow translate into the real world using items from my own wardrobe. But if some generous soul would like to lend me the following pieces that would be nice, too.

the lover I can call my own

yes to showers of light, sweeping away dead leaves, flower boxes, afternoon drinks that lead to evening adventures, boys turning into girls, la belle personne, new flowers waiting to be planted, and tiny amounts of honesty.

love is all

I love Little Doe. My birthday this year is definitely going to have a headdress in the mountains theme, complete with war paint and blankets as jackets.

Huckleberry Pie

 

If I've been distant to the blog world since last week, the scrumptious pup above is the reason why. I adopted him on Saturday, and since then haven't had much time for anything between walks, playtime and (mild) training. His name is Huckleberry, and  he is such a peach. Lately we've taken to eating breakfast in the backyard, and yesterday I did some hemming afterwards, including the shorts worn below. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this  blogging and having a puppy thing soon xxx

crochet and bow

A  lovely day at the Worn office, where we ate cupcakes and took these lovely photos outside (along with some actual work, too!).  Look for them on the Worn blog soon, in a new type of  post that we aptly titled  What I Wore to Worn. I was too excited to have my new crochet cardigan from value, and bow shoes (scroll down) from the lovely Kennedy photographed for this, yay!

Other things to be excited for:

Tennessee in a month

Issue 12 launch party

Spring adventures
Huckleberry on Saturday!

sweet from toil

If you know me, then you also know of my obsession with vintage lingerie. Most of you have probably seen The Loved One everywhere lately, but I couldn't resist posting these treasures on a slow Friday evening. Hannah Kristina Metz is such a babette. Must remember to post about her later.
