Prodigal Sons & Wayward Daughters
Feeling like an Audrey Grace Girl!
I have been a long-term fan of Wayward Daughter – both of Cait’s blog, and her gorgeous creations too. So when I was contacted by the ever-wonderful Jaclyn of Audrey Grace Boutique to see if I’d like to wear any of her incredible garments – I knew exactly what to pick! Along with the marvellous collared Edith dress, Jaclyn also sent along the Audrey Grace lookbook; what a treat! I’ve spent countless summer hours gazing at the beautiful illustrations, and literally wishing I could own every single piece! I especially adore all of the pieces custom-made for Jaclyn’s boutique; what beauties!
When the dress arrived on my doorstep, Barnaby and I knew exactly where we wanted to photograph it! We wandered into a cluster of overgrown grass, alongside one of the curviest points of the river. While snapping away, I was continuously humming ‘Magdalena’ by Brandon Flowers. It is one of my favourite songs ever, and even a quick glance at Edith’s tag had the line ‘prodigal sons and wayward daughters‘ on repeat in my head! I also brought along our vintage Halina, which I typically refer to as the ‘look down’ camera – if you can’t tell, Barney is the camera pro – I’m not so much! Here’s hoping for a successful round of film photographs – perhaps now I’ll finally learn to wind properly!
I love the fact that we both wore it in the fields, that beautuful frock simply calls for green grass and trees shadows! Can’t wait to twirl in it again when Spring comes, right now Turin is all covered by snow! Have a lovely weekend!
