Loops, Lace, and a Little Black Dress

Dress: eShakti ℅    Shoes: Tory Burch    Bangle: Henri Bendel (similar)   

 Rings: Kate Spade, Tiffany

I always end up falling for a little black dress.  I love the Anastasia dress, with its flared skirt and the intricate loop neckline.  This dress was custom tailored to fit me, and eShakti offers numerous customization options for anyone's taste.  I just entered my measurements and the dress came fitting beautifully.  Simple or special, a classic piece never gets old, and I look forward to wearing this dress often!

Back to the Queen Mary!  I was here for tea just two weeks ago, and it was so nice to explore the lovely boat and all its stories.  Dinner at Sir Winston's restaurant was definitely the best meal I'd had all week (the champagne sorbet was THE BEST).  The early fall beauty of Long Beach is almost unbelievable, and it's just so nice to be there.

This post is both a mix of my favorite shots from previous posts and a long overdue tribute to my amazing photographer, who has stood on tables and lay down in the grass to get the perfect picture.  This blog would not be anything without my photographer, and I just need to say thank you.  XOXO!
