Hot days and big hair
{Photos by Sam}
Today we went to a lovely wedding, and having done a 1960s photoshoot for Fab Gabs this week, I was in a very 60s mood. It was actually my favorite shoot we've done in a while, I guess the 60s are not something
I do very often, but it was such a fun era in fashion. I need to take it on more!
Speaking of Fab Gabs, I'm now assisting with some social networking, my favorite being Pinterest, and putting together these "Get the Look" sets. Requests are welcome!
This dress has been a nice summer favorite. I found it last October on the Halloween racks at Goodwill for $5.99! I thought it was vintage, but then saw the label, and after cleaning and ironing, it's good as new. And it just so happened someone had already tailored it to fit a short waist, so thanks previous owner!
Dress-Plenty
Purse, gloves, and shoes-Urban Eccentric Vintage

Beautiful dress! And the lace gloves are lovely too:)
you are soooooo beautiful!!!!!
The '60s era looks fab on you! I hope you end up wearing it more often! :)
I love that hair style on you! (any chance of a tutorial?) x
i always admiring you Solanah =)
I would love to see more of a mod-style 1960s' outfit!
Absolutely lovely! The early and mid-60s are one of my favorite eras when it comes to fashion(I think it all went downhill after that ;). It's a really lovely silhouette on you, and I adore your French twist!
And I'm so jealous that you scored that for $5.99 at Goodwill! I've managed to find a few vintage things while thrifting, but it seems as though they are becoming harder to come by now that people are starting to realize their value.
I love your dress and your hair so much. Gorgeous, as always.
Love the dress; the color is fantastic!
The dress completely fooled me. I would NEVER have guessed it wasn't vintage. Good score!
Gorgeous dress- the Halloween rack? Really?
gorgeous! really love your 60s style :)
Gorgeous dress and hair! :)
The hair and the dress look great on you :).
- Jip.
This is a super cute post with great photography.
Love the outfit! Very cute dress and gloves.
I guess this is my favorite outfit of yours ever. The hair and the dress is just perfect! Loved the gloves. xx
What gorgeous dreamy pictures, you look amazing of course but I love the light so much as well. And the cute kiss (L)
You look wonderful as always! That hair style suits you really well.
I have to say, I'm really liking the 60's look on you. Maybe even more that 50's or 40's.
I adore the 60s and think you look perfect! I love how you just have fun with fashion and experiment with new looks.
Thanks Doll,

Lovely as usual, Dear! Adore the whole look of this post. Taking '60s out for a drive, the quaint brick location etc. Also really digging the editing on these images!
Great hair!

LOVE!
This is such a gorgeous outfit and a beautiful dress! Your hair looks lovely too. It's always great when a dress is tailored for a short waist! I tend to have to tailor mine too and it's never an easy fix when there's a zipper down the back.
this dress is so beautiful .... ant´d the photos are absolutely gorgeous.
