we've been experiencing deliciously warm weather of late - the type of weather that feels like you're practically sipping summertime with all the exhilarating anticipation that comes with every dainty breath. may has not even graced the calendar, and the weather is already determined to turn into summer while the rest of the states contend with snow storms and tornadoes - typical californian weather: always flying ahead of the seasons. like life and time: always determined to swiftly pass by without notice, and perhaps, without any reason at all.
to my delight, the darling clothing company eShakti generously sent me another dress from their spring line. the dress was shipped within two weeks after submitting my order {yes, this review is a bit late...but I was waiting for a nice warm spell for a photoshoot}, custom made for this product review. the fabric is absolutely lovely - the color took my breath away when my eyes first laid upon the dress and the lightness of the cotton is absolute perfection for the HOT summer months in cali. the beautiful thing with eShakti is being presented the option of submitting your measurements for a perfect fit. after my first fantastic experience with eShakti, my hopes were a bit dashed as this particular dress fit a bit snug in the bust area and arrived without the sash promised in the photo. however for such a darling style and lovely color, there truly isn't any room for complaint; and it shall most definitely be worn many times over this summertime.
special thanks to jennifer for contacting me and for connecting me with this darling dress!
have you sifted through your spring wardrobe yet?

I bought a dress recently from eshakti. However my experience was not the best as the waist was a couple of inches to large. I got a friend to fix it for me though and I love it :) I can’t wait to wear it for the first time!
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks amazing on you. At the moment I’m kind of wishing I was back in CA enjoying nice weather. Tennessee is being very unpredictable, as usual.
Beautiful photos, lovely dress, and perfect post title! :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh! This is such a lovely setting, dress and model (your hair is perfect!)! The color o the dress is so soft and feminine.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your writing is stunning.
You are just so pretty. and the pictures are the best too. and the flowers. and the camera. and the dress, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteOohh, that was one of my favorite dresses. That is one of my favorite colors. The color is perfect for you lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you describe things. The only way I can think to describe my feelings of the weather is that I am literally physically thirsty for fresh air since I have been cooped up in a dirty old college for the first time ever. When it got warm enough to sit outside, I chose to do so even though I could probably study better in the library and suddenly my haven of sorts seemed unbearably oppressive.
Life sometimes seems to go by so steadily slow and then I blink and time has just goes flown by. So much is coming and so much in the future...but it will be here all too soon. I think I'm finally starting to grasp the idea of how small our lives are in comparison to eternity.
ReplyDeleteAnd goodness, Grace! That dress is just...lovely. There is no other word for it. And my awesomely lovely anglophile you make it even more so.
Enjoy your splendid California weather...we are just starting to get leaves here and the enormous cheery tree is the front yard *just* bloomed making me think it's finally spring. Not your gorgeous CA weather but in Maryland we take our small victories :)
Lots of love.
your ever awesome anglophile

ah that dress is adorable and you are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethe color of the dress is gorgeous and you are even more gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weather, today it just dumped another two inches of snow. haha, just when I thought spring was almost here.
oh, well. I must say the snow is lovely.
and your vintage camera is so so perfect with the dress.
You look beautiful! X
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond beautiful!! Can I steal the dress for the day? (Seriously.)

Cute dress! I'm liking a lot of the spring trends, especially the softer shades and this abundance of mint green.
