These pictures are from Gümüşlük which is a little village by the sea not far from Bodrum. I loved it there and although I couldn't enjoy the amazing fish they have there (I'm a vegetarian), I could enjoy the breathtaking views and calm surroundings. One thing I loved the most about Gümüşlük was the people. In a country where women are hideously oppressed and everyone follows a definite social code, it was so refreshing to see people with dreadlocks and tattoos wearing arty clothes, walking around laughing and seeming genuinely happy, which is a definite contrast to the rest of the Turkey I've seen. I'm really bigging it up I know. The rest of Turkey I mean. I'm being sarcastic.
This dress is from a vintage shop in Leeds I visited a couple of times. I lived right up the road from it but it took until my last term at uni to go in there and I so wish I'd been in there before. It's called The Story Of O and it is truly amazing in there. The dress is actually a nightdress from the 1920s so I have to be careful with it.
The glow from the sunset is warming me up just by looking at it as I sit here in drizzly Lancashire! Beautiful photos are gorgeous delicate dress. I'll have to look that shop up the next time I'm in Leeds! :) x
