"When work is a pleasure, life is joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery."
- Maxim Gorky
Late afternoon fun shoot. Mini-picnic with my BGFF and business partner, Cameron.
Camera: we didn't appreciate you giving up on us less than an hour into the shoot!
The red dress is 70 + years old. The original owner is a very charming lady in her 90's. She wore this dress when she was a teenager. I love the scoop neck and the 2 faux pockets. The faux pockets had the initials "M & L" for Mary Lunsford. I had to remove it to make it my own.
This dress will be up for sale soon. Sign up so I can keep you posted!

Cameron is wearing vintage Balmain tie with geometric pattern.
Remember friends, Its a fact of life that history repeats itself; fashion and clothing trends are no exception. Since fashion is cyclical, there is always some style from the past that has been made new again. When you purchase a vintage piece, you are getting something that cannot be found at every chain store by the thousands. It is a limited, if not one of a kind, item just for you.......
Spread vintage amore!

Francesca & Cameron
Sneek peak....more to come!
