Outfit details:
Paisley&Brass Royal Gypsy headpiece
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Her Heart Is Black But Her Eyes Are Blue
Inspired by all things mystical is driving my wardrobe in a slightly new direction. This neoteric style is exemplified by my second headpiece by Paisley&Brass, a triple strand wonder aptly titled "the royal gypsy." It is difficult to put to words what is mostly instinctive choices, but perhaps modern, minimalist gypsy would be an accurate characterization of the mood I am attempting to evoke through clothes. Suitable since I planning another move this summer, although the destination is still unknown. Pushing myself style-wise is this black, lace Cheap Monday dress from Revolve Clothing; the perfect modern, gothic dress for a wandering spirit.

ooh this dress is so beautiful! i love black lace and i love that right now it's not too hard to find dresses suited for a fairy tale. the addition of the braided headband is great. this whole shoot kind of reminds me of the original 'wicker man' movie. ~joelle
You have the best rings <333
I love the headband, it does veer the look towards a more fairytale one, and the lace detail in the back of your dress is gorgeous!
As always, your photoshoots are amazing as always :)
Oh man, mystical style is where it's at. I have all these cosmic jewelry pieces which may or may not be in bad taste, but I love them... I'm actually wearing something similar to your black dress, today. You look lovely!

very pretty dress!
these photos are so lovely! fab job my dear
wow I love this post. I really like your poses in particular, but of course the dress is perfect. Black lace is always a good choice..and it goes so well with your hair.
I can't believe you have sun in Washington (I was told that didn't happen ahahah)...you must be the only place in the world right now.
the back of the dress is amazing! you definitely achieve a modern gypsy look with this dress and headband.

This may actually be one of my faves of yours. The back of the dress shows off your tatoos in a really unique way. You are making want to buy some henna :)
Ahh,this post reminds me so much of summer!I love sunny days!
And these photos are amazing!
This dress is beautiful, the lace is the perfect touch. I love the headpiece. My art project for spring break is to hopefully make a horn headpiece. Your photos themselves evoke mystic/magic/fairies.
Great post.

Ce qui m'inspire
we love all your style
Very chic! I definitely like the new direction you're going in ^.^
you can never, never go wrong with a lbd of a frock. never.
Gorgeous. I love how you wore the headband. I always try to do that myself and end up with a big fluff of hair on the top of my head. Your's looks stylized and great, however.
The last photograph looks straight out of Lula Magazine.
I love the details on this dress. So beautiful and unexpected.

Ok, you have officially achieved the "minimalist gypsy" look and it's lovely!
Even though its completely lace, its not one of those lace dresses that screams 'Hi, I'm a lace dress!', its lovely and delicate :-)

I love dressing with a theme. Some days I'm a parisian spy, some days I'm a forest creature, somedays I'm a rocker chick. Having an idea in mind when dressing always helps to prevent the multi outfits-tossing to the floor-I have nothing to wear-giving up and wearing jeans and a t shirt sorts of days.
tomorrow I think I'l be a cuddly cozy snuggle
Gorgeous dress and such pretty photos! I love this kind of style.
love gypsies, your outfit and new direction!
your shoes are so amazing! i'll have to check out how pricey they were :D
in love with back of that dress, it's gorgeous!

what a way to wear black and lace!!!! i love it!! you look equally adorable as when you wear your colorful outfits!! :D
This whole look is so amazing. The black lace, shoes, and headband+the background and scenery remind me of Catherine from Wuthering Heights or some other haunted, half-wild Victorian. Gorgeous!

In stockholm the cheap monday store was crazy,it had so many beautiful things. I wish I had more luggage space and $$$ to get some things.
This reminds me of that one ... I think Lulu? video where it starts off as a group of girls in an innocent, spring fairyworld, only to end in a haunting gothic aura. Ahh, how I wax poetic. I love the dark outfit.

The peak of lace int he back of this dress is just perfection. Love the field you used for these photos as well. Question- did you have goosebumps on your legs while taking these?! If you look at my last outfit post with my vintage coat, you will see on the picture with the close up of the wedges I had goosebumps haha!
that ring is lovely! I adore your vintage white dress below!
This mystical drive looks very good on you. Straight from an Edward Allan Poe poem...
Lovely! Perfect for the wandering spirit, indeed!
Beautiful blog!
