Dress: c/o Florence & Laverne // Boots: Marshalls, old (similar) // Necklace: BCBGeneration, old (similar) // Flower Crown: made by my lovely photographer, Kate! (similar) Lipstick: YSL Rouge Pur Couture in “Rose Stiletto” // Extensions: Bellami Balayage by Guy Tang in “Ash Brown/Ash Blonde”
I’m so excited to finally be able to share these photos which I shot earlier this month with Kate, who is a lovely, local photographer in Rochester, NY who found me through Instagram (don’t you just love technology?). I was so excited when she asked if I could model for her and knew that it would be the perfect opportunity to wear my new Florence & Laverne dress that I got in the mail. It’s pink, it’s lace, and it’s perfect to dress both up and down. Did I mention I already wore it for three occasions since I got it? It’s just such a flattering dress! When it was time for the shoot, I was a bit nervous but Kate made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a photographer in the Rochester area that’s actually going to catch your personality on camera.
Kate and I decided that we would go for a bohemian look with the flower crown that she made and the final touch was the balayage extensions. You can’t be a flower child without some outrageously long hair! I usually only wear my extensions for special occasions (too much work for everyday!) but I just knew that this shoot would be worth the extra time that I would spend on my hair haha. It was such a fun day and it made me realize how much I love blogging and how fortunate I am to get opportunities to work with such talented people! And how could I forget you guys?! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and making Sweet, Short & Stylish a reality. Every view and every comment means so much to me ♥
