Bradley Was Her Name
>> Tuesday, July 27, 2010
My little ruffle dress made its way home. This was one of the dresses, I passed around to the Delightful Dozen girls. I haven't styled it for my blog in over a year and looking back on last year's photos make me laugh just a little bit.
Below, is a photo of a lovely deer that wanted to stop our drive down the dusty back road. I wish I had a proper zoom lens on my camera, but the photo turned out better than I would have thought. I named the deer, Bradley, in honor of my boots.

When the ever sweet Cat, of Bride Blu, asked if I would like to model her Anabelle milky turquoise necklace, I said "Yes, Please!" It's so simple and sweet that I couldn't wait to style it with my newly returned dress. I think what I adore most about the necklace is, like the description says, that it's more milky than clear. It has a gorgeous opaque quality.

Yours,
I love the pattern and the colors on that dress. Too cute:)
Oh, this is so lovely! I've seen this dress on some of the other DD girls, it is just so pretty. Love the styling - the boots and belt toughen it up a bit. Gorgeous!
That's so fun to get your dress back. The ruffles are very lovely and go perfectly with your boots and necklace.
Nice outfit!

i'm in the UP for vacation - been seeing more than a fair share of deer! and now they're popping up in my blog reading, too! hahaha
i really like the collar of that dress ! and that necklace is beautiful
Beautiful dress, beautiful boots, and beautiful deer! I miss woodland creatures! All we have out here are cockroaches and crows!
Congratulations on the feature. I love deer spotting photos. No chance of that happening over here. :P
I do the same thing with my leather boots. The laces are too long so I wind them round and round. Good to know that's normal. :)

So beautiful! I've loved watching this dress travel from blog to blog and seeing how the other girls styled it. Makes a person think back to their own closet and how versatile different pieces can be.

Oo, I've loved seeing this dress on some of the DD girls! You styled it wonderfully. And your boots are perfect.

Oh wow, your photos have changed SO much since you last styled this dress! Do you mind me asking what changes you have made to make your photos look so much more professional?
I also like your hair longer how it is now :) you look gorgeous as usual.

These photos are so beautiful. Your hair looks really good and the outfit is wonderful!
I always see deer run across my garden, I should start carrying my camera with me around the house so I can get a picture! Love the dress, so pretty x

Gorgeous dress! I love the necklace too, I think that I'm getting slowly attracted by accesories!
Love your makeup.
Isn't it so fun to look back at outfits you wore a year ago? I always get a kick out of looking back thru my flickr set. Love this dressed paired with your new boots. They are really awesome!
hahaha after looking at the pics from last year I can totally say again that your hair looks much better right now, are you sure you're going to donate it?? hahahah I'm sorry for being so annoying, I just love long hairs so much
The dress is so cute, and so are the boots! I thought they were black!
I'm deeply in love with your boots Maria! This way of wearing the dress looks much better then the first one!
I love your boots!
You are so beautiful!

Oh your dress and boots are so good! You look awesome. And congrats for the features.
did you name the deer? I am odd I guess wanting to name every creature I see haha. The deer's name is "Pieka" (because you got a peek of it during your shoot).
What a lovely dress!
The necklace matches perfectly!!
This is so perfect. I love that flowery dress and those boots...!! They are amazing. You look beautiful.

So pretty! Have you ever posted an eyeliner "how-to" tutorial? I love the way your eyeliner looks, and would be delighted to learn how to do that myself.
What a great combination, pretty florals with lace up boots! Can't believe how short your hair is in the old photos!
Love the necklace too!
in love w/your boots!
Your style is to die for! Okay okay, that's really extreme.. but I do love your style!

Wow, you had really short hair..^^
You look so adorable in that dress:)
And the shoes are perfect!
It thought I was the only one who used to tie the shoelaces around my ancle.. But I did it because I would've tripped over them if I didn't^^''
Congrats with being featured! :D

Lovely pictures as per usual! (Nice work Cole)
Can I raid your shoe closet? These boots are amazing. I'm a sucker for a worn leather. I think they'll only get better the more you wear them.
Congratulations on the features!

Also, congrats on those features!
I liked both years! I do think your long hair is beautiful - but I am bias! The necklace is beautiful too. I thought I saw that dress somewhere!!!

You look gorgeous Maria! Love the dress paired with those boots, a great sweet-tough balance.
Love the deer, Bradley! I always get so worried driving in the evenings thought because they run out on the roads here like crazy!
The boots rock...that necklace is a perfect match for the dress.
What a sweet deer and that is so cute you named it Bradley :)

Ahhh <33 Deer! So lovely! And your boots are seriously incredible. If Jeffrey Campbell's weren't so pricey I would definitely be getting a pair of these!
PS- Your hair grows sooo fast! I thought mine did but yours must have amainzg growing powers or something haha <3!
love the ruffles on the dress.. and those shoes are amazing!

Those boots are PHENOMENAL.
The ruffles and design is so cute!
The dress is lovely. I don't like the boots and would pair another shoe to the dress, but this is my personal taste. Love your hairdo and congrats for the features! ^^
