Welcome to the White Dress Hunt

I'm jumping on the white dress hunting bandwagon. Everyone is on the hunt for the perfect white dress every summer of every year, from Refinery 29 to Liebemarlene Vintage, and honestly, I'm not sure that anyone ever has their white dress desires absolutely satisfied. My only evidence for this of course is that this search for perfection in crispy white linen seems largely to be an annual one.

Personally, this is my first year on the bandwagon, and I'm beginning to realise that I've hopped on a couple of stops too late. If other blogs are anything to go by, the hunt begins in April or May, when in Bristol it has barely stopped snowing. June in Bristol has been an unusually hot one however, and that, combined I think with watching more Wimbledon than is strictly healthy has got me running to Zara to see what I can find. Sadly there's a sale on, so of course there's nothing left. Or perhaps there was nothing in the first place, which is the reason that everyone has to go on the hunt every year... personally I think making one is probably the only option.

In the interim, I'll just have to content myself, and anyone who thought that I was going to tell you all about some amazing white vintage find, with the amazing shot above, taken by Liz Ham for Oyster Magazine. I stumbled upon her by accident, but her editorial shots are gorgeous, and this one is probably my favourite. It is styled by Jolyon Mason (which is a fantastic name) and you can see the rest of it here.

In other news, our Appley laptop miraculously came back to life after a short holiday in the Apple Store, so Photoshop and I can be friends again. Hooray!
