Desire Lines



Joe Fresh faux fur coat, Lost&Found dress c/o Spank Clothing,
H&M belt, booties, ring and tights, Rebecca Minkoff bag,
gold and rose ring c/o Social Experiment

When Spank Clothing answered my desperate plea on Twitter begging for someone to let me follow them for a “life in the day” project I’m working on, I never imagined that the interview and shoot would end up being such an amazing experience. But the day I spent with Spank’s in-house designer Sylvia Lee, who designs their label Lost&Found, was exactly that. Photos of my time there will come in a later post, but in short, it was fantastic to take a closer look at such a creative mind and see what goes into creating a collection. The lovely people at Spank also gifted me this absolutely beautiful dress, and another piece that I’ll be featuring later this month. Thank you so much to everyone at Spank for the special day! They have an online shop so if you love eclectic, femme style as much as I do, be sure to check them out!

Please excuse the graininess in these pics – since our days are getting shorter and shorter, I usually only have time to shoot earlier in the morning or around 3-4 p.m., and right around both points of the day, the lighting is just a biiiiit wonky.

I’m slowly but surely getting through the workload of this week and fortunately, I’ve been distracted by my excitement for the upcoming weekend, I honestly can’t wait for my girls night in Whistler this Saturday! Hope you’re all having great weeks so far, and don’t forget to enter my Barefoot Contessa gift certificate giveaway! Only a couple days left!

    The colour of the dress is beautiful on you and I love it paired with cognac accessories. Very pretty as usual, dear! I completely hear you on the days getting shorter/photo taking problem – especially on gloomy days. So sad! Time to look into indoor shoots!

    Maybe I should issue more desperate pleas on Twitter, it sounds like this one really worked out in your favour 😉 I kid, but seriously, you did make out like a bandit with this beautiful blue dress, it suits you so well. But then again, everything looks amazing with your beautiful fur coat. (Obsessed? Me? Never.) Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday, friend.

    I know what you mean about the lighting these days. Makes it impossible for me to take pics after work since it's already so dark! These still turned out great though!

    when you talk, i STOP, LOOK + LISTEN! like super intently, and Alex aren't you stoked that Spank Clothing did exactly that too?! what a grand day and a stellar experience with awesome benefits. i LOVE the cobalt blue dress, gorgeous pigment on you and the faux fur……..please! it's sensational, i got that leopard print one from JF (the one you asked about) – aren't they surprisingly warm. i like how spacious they are too, you can layer underneath with ease : )

    you know what? i kinda like the grainy effect in these shots. feels slightly water colored and a bit vintagey. the hunt for the magic hour for photography isn't always a success but when it pays off like this i wouldn't balk at it in the least. lovely runway worthy ensemble. xoox ♥
