I wholeheartedly believe that life is meant for great adventure. Which is why traveling is my passion; I left home on O'ahu just to be able to travel more frequently by living on the mainland. Second best thing to exploring the globe are "staycations". I love discovering the many beautiful settings Southern California has to offer - a days journey can take you from the beach, to the snowy mountains.
Sometimes, you'll find a place that feels like you've stepped into another country; maybe even another era. This occasion felt like both - and was exactly what I envisioned with this darling Stop Staring dress. This is the dress that makes you feel girly yet glamorous... even if all you intend to do for the day is head to the grocery store.
I'll be honest - white is usually a color I steer clear from... though after spending the day frolicking around in this beauty, I get it now. The same way we ladies need to own that "little black dress", I truly believe we all need a little white dress, too.
To really compliment this frock, accessories played a big part.
This perfect canotier was hand-woven by the very talented Birds of Fresia. The felt bow of this hat can be tied and adjusted a number of ways, which aids in creating many lovely looks and styles.
I picked a pair of sheer, white 1950's vintage gloves that belonged to my dear Grandma June.
I wanted to create a somewhat ethereal feel with all of these carefully selected pieces. I love how a few embellishments can really make an outfit look polished and stand out, or even change it's look entirely.
For my hair, I created my hair roll with a hair piece, lots of bobby pins and Kenra hairspray. I added some magnolia hair flowers on each side of my hair to emphasize the floral theme inspired by my dress. Believe it or not, this is actually a moderately easy hairstyle.
My make-up was my usual Kat Von D tattoo liner in trooper black as well as her lip stain, in the color Underage Red. My eyebrows are Benefit's Ka-Brow.
