Before departing for Italy I went away with the family to Seasalter near Whitstable in
Kent for the bank holiday weekend. We stayed in a sweet little house that felt
more like a roomy beach hut, overlooking the sea. The moody sky, grey-blue
water and stony beach reminded me of the Welsh scenes from one of my favourite films, The Edge of Love, directed by John Maybury and starring
two of my favourite girls, Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller. I love
their rustic, dishevelled look in the film and the casual combination of delicate lace and
feminine florals with chunky knits. The film is referenced by Christa D’Souza in the vintage inspired August
issue of Net-A-Porter’s online magazine The
Edit. The beautiful Lily Aldridge
graces the cover and her
shoot plays on a similar vibe but with a touch more ethereal elegance. N.B. the
wellies have been traded in for a pair of Jimmy Choo biker boots. So as soon as
I’ve sourced my Jimmy biker alternatives I’ll be trying this look in full, but for now
the wellies will have to suffice.
A series of photos that concludes with some snapshots from the weekend. I’m
wearing my Topshop dungarees, which recently
ripped of their own accord, my latest lace purchase from a vintage shop in
Oxford and my Dad’s jacket.
The first six photos are via Pinterest and Tumblr
The final seven were taken by me.
