Lulu Letty: A field that has no name

As I mentioned yesterday, this is my new favorite post. There doesn't seem to be a specific reason for my favoritism other than a feeling of creating something that I'm proud of. I so often take for granted my luck of having a husband with no photography experience (other than a blow-off high school class taken 15 years ago) who can so seamlessly capture what I envision in my head. Some shoots are more difficult than others and there are many times when I wish I could be the photographer instead of the model, not because Cole isn't awesome, but because I know exactly what I want and how I want it. However, it's a shoot like this that showcases our teamwork at it's finest, where two minds are one.

Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!
Vintage blazer and J.Crew chambray shirt: thrifted
Leggings: L.L. Bean
Faux fur hat: asos
Vintage Dooney & Bourke purse: ebay
Vintage Dexter campus boots: etsy (bad experience, so I'm not linking)
...
My apologies for the late post, but my poor darling is sick. So I'm busy taking care of him and getting him ready for his final exam tomorrow. It's not all bad news for Cole, he found out on Friday that he made it to the second round for that interview I mentioned last week! He'll be flying out to Connecticut in the beginning of November.

Yours,
Maria Sig 2

Love that hat. I have a vintage one just like it. Well, It's a little bigger and can be obnoxious if not worn just right. :)

This post is so gorgeous - I'm the same way, I envision a post in my head and I get so bummed when it doesn't turn out exactly like I thought - but it's really awesome when Brett and I create something that we're totally proud of!

genevieve, sandbox romance  – (October 18, 2010 2:28 PM)  

Love the outfit! The first picture took my breath away. It's extraordinary.

Oh Maria! These Photos are perfect, breathtaking, stunning, fairy-like, adorable, enchanting , simply pulchritudinous. Kudos to Cole! The light, the setting, the colours, everything is consummate! Oh and I think I don't have to say that you're looking like a perfect dream. Your Outfit, your hair, your beautiful, speckless face. Lucky you! xx, Alice :)

Hope Cole feels better soon!

Cole did a wonderful job with these pictures! They are so wonderful! I really love the outfit, it's perfect for everyday fall. Do you like your LL Bean leggings? I've been thinking of getting some!

Amber Blue Bird  – (October 18, 2010 5:19 PM)  

The lighting in these photos is so beautiful, he did a great job! I know what you mean about sometimes wanting to be the photographer instead of the model, sometimes it would be easier that way but it does look like your two brains connected in these photos, lovely as always

Hannah  – (October 18, 2010 5:29 PM)  

Ahhh, these pictures are simply amazing! :)

Michal  – (October 18, 2010 5:50 PM)

Stunning photos Maria. They look like stills from a film from the seventies! You really do work well together. Very talented pair!

Your hubby did an amazing job, the lighting is just perfect. It sets the mood for the shots brilliantly!

I love the moments in life where one is grateful for all they have, and all the love that exists for them. If only we could have such transcendentally happy times always!

Gorgeous, gorgeous photo shoot! Congrats.

I love that thrifted blazer. I've been rummaging through the Goodwill racks hunting around for one just like it. I love seeing posts with blazers, so I have an idea of exactly what I want. Love the blazer with the leggings + button down.

Julia  – (October 18, 2010 6:33 PM)  

What a lovely outfit! I hope Cole is feeling better! :) Even though you had a bad experience purchasing the boots, they look wonderful on you!

Christy  – (October 18, 2010 6:50 PM)  

The lighting in these shots is absolutely perfect! Cole is a natural photographer! (Of course, it doesn't hurt to have you as a model. ;)

elanor, missing-lovebirds  – (October 18, 2010 6:56 PM)

Rosie  – (October 18, 2010 7:13 PM)  

Cole really is very talented! These are gorgeous! so his interview is in CT? Does that mean you could be potentially moving back to the North East? Or am I just getting my hopes up...

Kristin  – (October 18, 2010 7:18 PM)  

i love your style!! your outfits are simple and chic. this jacket is awesome.

MONKEYFACE  – (October 18, 2010 7:55 PM)

Good luck to Cole. I hope traveling for an interview isn't stressful for him.

You've inspired me to pull out my vintage blazer this week.

Laura @ The World Looks Red  – (October 19, 2010 2:51 AM)  

Oh wow, these photos are the best! So incredibly beautiful!

à la Modest  – (October 19, 2010 8:12 AM)  

So in a way you're the directory of photography :) My husband nor I have photography backgrounds, but we seem to do alright. I have a lousy point-and-shoot camera too, which makes things a little more difficult! Your photos are lovely and so are your outfits, dear!

Sher  – (October 19, 2010 11:49 AM)  

Wow, this may be my favourite photoshoot of yours too, Maria! The light is gorgeous and so are you, the pics really have that film-y effect:)

I wish I had such a great photographer!

Justice Pirate  – (October 19, 2010 12:30 PM)  

goodness. I had to scroll so far down to even comment. I don't know how you are able to keep up with 46 comments and even more sometimes. goodness. I love the warmth in all these photographs. They are so wonderful and make me smile.

FoofandFaff  – (October 19, 2010 2:05 PM)  

Ooh gorgeous pics, you've just made me long for a new camera even more now! Love the outfit too, the blazer is especially fab :)

Dottie  – (October 19, 2010 8:31 PM)  

This is a gorgeous set of photos! The sun flair and red tones are spectacular. You two really make an amazing team. I always look forward to your new posts because I know they will always be really special.

Aley Kay  – (October 20, 2010 4:12 AM)  

best pictures ever.. i love the lightand your hair (:

Wangari M.  – (October 20, 2010 12:27 PM)  

These photos are just mid-blowing! Well done to the both of you for capturing something this amazing. I can totally see why this shoot has been your favourite. Good luck to cole in round 2 of interviews, also hope he's feeling better :)

avalonne lou summers  – (October 20, 2010 1:38 PM)  

I hope Cole is feeling better. You are so right and that's how I feel all the time. I love being in front of the camera for my blog and as much as I appreciate my photographer Carolina, I just wish I could photograph myself, because I know exactly what I want in terms of composition. But there are those standout shoots that are just too perfect and you know how strong your team is. These photos are stunning. You look amazing and the lighting is breathtaking! Good team!

che'lyssa  – (October 20, 2010 6:56 PM)  

I love these photos! They're great!
