This dress reminded me of the one Belle wears at the end of Beauty and the Beast. So naturally I had to photograph it with a book. Although I can identify with Belle as a bookworm, we have very different tastes. She prefers fairytales while I’m currently reading a biography of Francisco de Goya, one…Read More
Have a Little Faith
Ever since I bought this dress I’ve been in love with the stained-glass/religious kind of print.
