A few weeks ago I was approached by the lovely Erika Shaw via Instagram about working with her to create images of her handmade dresses for her website. Palooka Clothing is all about handmade vintage inspired clothes which are lovingly made here in england by Erika herself. I jumped at the chance to work on this project and I've had so much fun. Erika sent me 8 dresses to style and model. I was so excited when I recived the dresses and saw the beautiful floral prints. Sadly two dresses didn't fit me ( I really should cut down on chocolate!). So I set to work styling the six dresses that did fit me.

 The weather in my area has been totally awful for the last three weeks. Finding a day where the sun will be out and my mum can photograph me was a little tricky! Luckily we were both free last Wednesday and it wasn't raining! We went to Polseden Lacey a beautiful estate run by the National Trust. I've been many times before and just love the rose gardens -which I thought would be ideal for the photos.

I will be posting more photos of the other dresses soon :)
