Hi there!
I hope you’re all doing fine and enjoying the Summer. I have received my results from University and as I have passed all my exams, I’m currently on holiday! Yaaaay! While you’re reading these lines, we are still in London after travelling through England and Wales.
We took today’s pictures at one of my favourite spots near my home, it is called Bois de Chênes (litterally translated ‘Oak Forest’) and is a natural reserve. This place reminds me of so many wonderful memories. Going there as a kid, embracing nature, and later celebrating my 18th birthday in this stunning place with all my friends and great food. It was one of the best birthday parties I have ever had.
What is your special spot, and why?
About the outfit, I’m wearing another lovely choker from Twirly Trinkets (cf. last post), and a Summer dress I found last September in London, in one of my favourite vintage boutiques. It is situated in Horse Stable Market, Camden. It is called St Cyr Vintage and proposes an awesome selection of pieces for women. I highly recommend you having a look if you’re a fan of vintage and happen to be in London 🙂
I thought I didn’t like maxi-dresses or more precisely, that I wasn’t tall enough to wear one. But I had such a crush on this one, and in the end what matters is confidence. Right?

Ahhh, I absolutely love the mood of these photos; reminds me slightly of Jeffrey Eugenides's The Virgin Suicide. Very summery, very moody. LOVE IT. I don't think you could've picked a better accessory than a choker to wear with the dress! Congrats on your results; I hope you enjoy summer break, Claire! x

Thanks you a lot May! 🙂
I must admit that the Virgin Suicides came to my mind when shooting the pictures, with its summery and unhealthy mood. What a compliment!
Have a great Summer too!
