prom pics

I almost forgot to tell you... Mr. C and I were chaperones at the Oak Grove high school prom.

I was the photographer and was lucky to get these test shots with Ian as my model. Sadly, I didn't get any pics of me in my sequined frock....

So I had to shoot myself in our bathroom mirror at home.

What I'd love to be wearing to Thanksgiving dinner...

.. semi precious gems in my hair...

... an effortlessly and endlessly feminine frock...

... and a pair of red, vintage platforms to liven up the muted Autumn pallet.

all tomorrow's party dresses

These lovlies are from Free People. I'm fantasizing about having a different party for each dress.

The photos are by me, but the fashion is all Lindsay Miller. I love her party dresses—all one of a kind, reworked vintage pieces. They are Grace Kelly glamour with a Punky Brewster twist. The designer herself is shown here climbing a pepper tree in one of her own designs and holding a Maryink handbag. If I had prom to do all over again I would wear a Lindsay Miller party dress. You can shop for both designers at SassySallys.com.

And with that in mind, I'm off to rummage through my closet in search of the perfect thing to wear to the Getty Villa.
