A Sacred Promise
Today is a day for being a little “undone.” I actually feel quite relaxed. Surprisingly so for the middle of the week, but I think it’s due to a healthy dose of good friends in town. Dave, our web designer for Source4Style, is heading out this morning. And just a few days earlier I joined a group dinner for Napo (an indigenous-led pharma company) with one of my greatest friends, Tom. We reflected on all sorts of shenanigans – but also a fundraiser’s trip we took together a few years earlier to The Great Bear Rainforest, the last coastal contiguous temperate rainforest left in the world. I’ll be heading up to British Columbia again soon – a promise I made just two days ago to my wonderfully wild friend Wade. The plan is to travel up to Iskut Valley, canoe down the Skeena, and champion around the protection of the Sacred Headwaters, which is the pristine subalpine basin that has come under siege from coal, mineral and methane extraction. Anyway, I don’t have anywhere to be until later today, so I’m just going to hang out in my hammock and take a healthy approach of working from home today. Because of that I have messed tresses & unfurled my LBD for the first time, unbuttoned, w/ a 1930’s Chantilly Lace dress (ClosetcaseVNTG) & vintage 1970s bra (Mimis Menagerie) & paired that w/ some zoe&zac organic cotton Orchard ballet flats.

Work that lace. 🙂 Who says black on black can’t be creative and eye catching! Refined sexy for day or add pumps for night… love it. dress pattern seems very versatile. Keep it up — can’t wait to see what else you come up with.

Great little flats! The photos on your blog of the Great Bear Rainforest made me homesick. The versatility of your dress is exceptional. hard to believe that it’s the same dress from yesterday!

You are the dress are gorgeous, daily! The cause is wonderful, but you don’t stop there–I really appreciate your (un-strident) activism. Thanks for all the link, especially to environmental causes.

Yet another lovely ensemble – the pink is just right with this look x

what a stunning lace dress; that it has been preserved in what looks like excellent condition, for around eighty years, is testament to others down the track who have treasured it.

Oy–just read my own previous post. I sound pretty illiterate. Anyway, my point was that I appreciate the way you keep linking us to a variety of good causes as well as the water one. May the waters run free.
