New England Summer

September 13, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

In typical New England fashion, Boston hit us with some 93 degree days just as I thought it was turning into fall. And I’m talking heavy, humid, I-can’t-move-from-my-apartment heat. To try and keep some semblance of happiness on this incredibly muggy day I wore my flowiest fairy dress and a flower crown.

You may remember this dress from here, where I shot it in the gorgeous natural landscape of the Netherlands. I’ve urbanized it for my return to Boston with flats, an updo, and more dainty accessories.
