(and you heard it here first: shoes are next).

( friday i'm in love: BHLDN )

once upon a time, two weeks ago, i flew porter to the windy city to visit with my dear friends kiri & brett.  on our last day together, my friends flew to nyc for a shoot with the amazing vsco... and so i had one day all to myself.  Naturally, i found my way to BHLDN.  

"Inspired by the Dutch word for “to keep,” as well as countless tales from family and friends of the extraordinary weddings they’d been part of, we began dreaming up something new." And dream they did... the team at Anthropologie created a beautiful place for wedding magic to happen.

oh my heavenly goodness... what an experience.  everyone who works there is so NICE.  they showed me around, said i was welcome to take as many photos as my little heart desired... and on and on... the nicest!  if you are shopping for wedding attire, or just a fabulous frock for a fabulous party... this is the place.  i hope you get there.  

* these photos were taken with my great grandfathers polaroid camera using impossible film, and with my iphone, edited with the vsco app.
