Still working on postmarks with the actual date. Sometime soon I hope! I might have to buy some, I’m not talented enough with graphics to create my own/don’t have the patience to learn.
This was my original Gossip Girl look. This dress reminds me a lot of early Gossip Girl actually, like season one early. I love the design but the fabric tends to frustrate me because it wrinkles so easily– that’s a €15 dress, I suppose. I have good memories attached to it though. Shopping in Ireland! I do wish I had gone to some of the vintage stores but I hadn’t yet realized how good and popular they are at the time that I visited. Next time for sure!
Happy Monday, everyone! I’m in Chelsea today if anyone’s around (i.e. let’s go drink coffee at 5 and call it happy hour).
Love,
Alex

That dress is too cute for words! And I just realized you’re in New York now. How exciting! We should do lunch or dinner some time. Email me.

I’m only in New York part of the week but we should definitely make it happen! I’ll send you an email soon.

cute dress!
Caitlin says
Hahahaha, I love this whole look. It’s definitely Season 1 of GG. Big fan. And the fact that you bought this dress in Ireland makes it infinitely cooler!
I’m also loving the postmarks – what a great idea!
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! I really want some postmarks where the date’s changeable, you know? No luck yet but I’m still hoping to find some!
ShenDove says
I love this whole look and the fact that it was inspired by Gossip Girl!
Alex Elizabeth says
Thank you! I really liked it too!

these photos came out really well, and I love the postmark idea as a signature, so unique and creative and now mine seems so super boring and dumb.
the bow and button details of the dress are beyond adorable!
Alex Elizabeth says
Yours isn’t super boring and dumb, I promise! It’s unobtrusive but still visible, and I’m glad it isn’t splashed over the middle of your photos- so distracting!
Lyddiegal says
I hate it when people do huge watermarks, especially over really crappy photos, and I’m thinking, really? Who the hell would ever want to steal that?
