Dark Tide










Alina B by Steven Chee in Oyster
Styled by Rachel Squires and Paul Bui

A moody summer spread - the perfect antidote for all those happy happy fun fun editorials that can get a bit exhausting. The location makes me want to escape back to the tide pools on Fraser Island. I love how the stylists focused on the use of fabric, leather, chains, and rope to create the clothes from their basic elements. My favorite is the tobacco leather net used as a shawl/belt over the deep blue dress. I imagine this girl has a use for everything she's wearing - and I wouldn't be surprised if she has mastered some rare form of martial arts or could adeptly spear anything that crosses her path...

I cannot wait to start riding again this fall! If only I had such a pretty horse...

Hands down this is my favorite spread in a while.
Those days that are neither fall, spring or summer.
Pebble beaches and sea salt spray.
Sandy dirt road through the woods and endless fields of grass.
but best of all, spending time with a partner in crime.

I'm totally in love with this lighting trend.

The first phrase that popped into my head when I saw this was "Stairway to Heaven." What a great photo - what an amazing song.
