After ten straight days of mad rain, wind and floods,
today the sun finally came out so it was time to wear...
My Absolute Favourite Frock Ever
1950s French nylon
She is so threadbare and delicate, I hardly ever wear her...
I want to be buried in this frock.
I wore:
1950s frock and 1950s petticoat - ebay (both many years ago)
Hat - Can't remember
Pearl bracelet - Gift from my darling Ada
Skull bracelet - Gift from my darlings G-Star and Helga-tron
Earrings - Estate auction
Sunnies - Overprice vintage store
My laaawd, I love living here.

It is a gaspingly beautiful dress and the photos on the beach are equally beautiful.
Wow wee and bucket loads of wolf whistles to you!!!! That dress and the hat and the petticoat and especially the model, phwarrrr!! Stunning,and all on the beach, were men fainting at your feet???
I wish I lived there too. You get such gorgeous light and the backdrop to your photos is always stunning. And then I could come and raid your wardrobe and you could teach me how to shop and look good in clothes again :(

WOWWWW That is a GORGEOUS dress and you look beautiful in it. (And the Ocean in the background is like the cherry on top.)
I hope you spotted some crabs when you were out.... LOL

Love the beach shots and that dress is adorable!
Tht dress is stunning! I dream of finding one in my price range!! You live in such a gorgeous place I'm jealous. xxxxxx
You look like a film star. All my favourite clothes are delicate, there's that fear one day you'll put on your dress and it disintegrates before your eyes!
Beautiful skies, enough to make you feel optimistic just looking at it.
I can see why that frock is your favourite. You look AMAZING in it. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! Xx

You look like a funky shepherdess just wandered off a Gainsborough painting, amor! I've never come across French nylon before, how splendid and delicate it looks.
The weather always looks beautiful on your blog, I can't believe you've had rain of biblical proportions.
Bloody Skype, my computer crashed this morning but at least I got an hour of you.
Love you! xxxxxxxxxx
My god you look stunning, red soooo suits you. What gorgeous photo's. I adore your dress and the red hat just sets it off a treat. dee xx

If there ever was a dress to be buried in....hard to even think about that when you look as happy and fresh and gorgeous underneath that bright blue sky on that beach of nirvanna! You live in paradise!
XOXO~

Be still my beating heart .... You have taken my breath away with these beautiful photos x
oooh, the dress, swoon!
what a beautiful sunshiny post, Sarah. That dress is lovely, and you look wonderful in it.
Dearest Sarah,
You look amazing!
I'm not surprised that is your fave dress, it's gorgeous.
I so need to live near the sea...I'm really rather jealous that you have all this stunning scenery on your doorstep.
It's very hard to get inspired by what's outside my front door...overflowing stinky bins, crumbling house facades & a fucked-up Ford Fiesta.
Hope all is well with you...x
That is SUCH a beautiful dress. What a wonderful print, and the shape and fit are divine. Take good care of her, so that she'll last till you pop your high heels at the grand old age of 99, probably while having the hot sex with some toy boy.
Lovely photos, not in the least surprised you love living where you do - who wouldn't?
Oh and btw - how bloody gorgeous are you, honeypie??!! xxxxxxxxx
That's a stunning dress, I can see why you love it. A shame it's so delicate, but what a treat when you do wear it!
Love the beach pictures - hopefully it won't be too much longer before we can make a trip to the coast x
Sarita,
This frock is Gone with the wind soap opera novel gorgeous. I would want to get buried in this dress too ,but in black and gold.
You have the best scenery backgrounds.

besonones

ahhh such gorgeous photos! Sooo jealous!!! Wonderful hat (love that shade of red) and frock - the rose print is divine!
Oh my god what a breathtaking dress. You look gorgeous in it. I love the hat with it too.
That last photo Sarah: you look like an English lady visiting Italy!
Your mother was a real beauty - and the apple did not fall far away! :-)
If you get buried in that frock you will be the most exquisite corpse that the world has ever seen! By which, of course, I mean that dress is gorgeous.
Sarah you look STUNNING!!!!!!
I have seen and owned in my time some beautiful 50's dresses and I have to say that your gorgeous poppet is one of the best EVER!!!!!
Happiness is a beautiful lady in a beautiful rose dress.
Love V

Hi Sarah,
Beautiful dress indeed! Izzy found one
Ike yours last year, it was in poor condition she restored it with tender loving care.
Lucky that you live near the beach, looks like a beautiful place, why don't you snap a few shots of your location.
I will get a closer shot of my sunnies in the next post
Take care
Ariane xxxxx
