Come Into The Garden Maud

Twenty8Twelve's 'Denise' dress is the perfect mix of elegant and edgy. I bought it a few years ago and I loved it so much I got it in two colours; in a beautiful green/gold colourway and this classic black. In darkest ebony silk-georgette, the Denise empire line dress features a romantic lace ruffle collar, lace flutter sleeves, pintucked pleating to the front, a concealed zip to the back and silk lining.

I wasn't planning to blog about this dress to be honest; I was simply wearing it under a great coat from Antipodium that I was photographing for a post (see here) but I love these photos & I adore the dress so it seemed silly not to share it with you. Teamed with my favourite flats, this is such a cute, easy to wear combo! 

I was reading Tennyson by the wishing well at Waggoner’s Wells in this shoot; this is the beautiful poem he wrote there in 1863:

Flower in the crannied wall,

I pluck you out of the crannies,

I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,

Little flower—but if I could understand

What you are, root and all, and all in all,

I should know what God and man is.

And yep, I'm pale, tan-less, translucent in these blog photos; this is an incredibly rare occurrence and I can't promise it will ever happen again! It might though. Maybe.
