Baby is a Sinner.

Sarah wears Spell bull ring
Spell tassel Bag
Dress by Free People
Bracelet Vintage.

Sarah captured her recent US road trip in such a uniquely gorgeous and honest light that I almost forgot she wasn't a born & bred American... She hails in fact, from the UK.

I don't know why it is that some of us Commonwealth folk have such an affinity with the Americana aesthetic, or why our souls thrive and illuminate at the thought of an American road trip - but they do. It's just one of those things... like our love for turquoise, leather, tassels and the cliches go on and on...

We were absolutely stoked to see her in some Spell in this gorgeous shoot.

Little Indians

Little Indians, Layla and Jadyn.

One of the best things about instagram is all the inspirational new friends we make! Last week I noticed we were tagged (@spell_byronbay) in a beautiful pic from the sequence above – the comment under the pic said "photo shoot inspired by #spelldesigns".

We were so flattered! I contacted the photographer, Dejah Quinn (@dejahquinn) and asked her if I could share the shoot on our blog. I asked her to tell me about the girls and how their little shoot came about:

"The honey haired, doe-eyed girl is mine... Jadyn is her name but we call her Sparkly (because she came into the world loving all things shiny & sparkly!) The blonde haired, blue eyed, toothless beauty is her best friend Layla aka Lou... both girls are of Native American Heritage. 

Brandee, Layla's mom & a dear friend, helped me to style the shoot. We pulled out our best gypsy jewels & junk and had a grand time getting the girls all gussied up. Our girls both have such sweet little free spirits... and we are pretty sure they get it from their mammas!"

Thank you to all our wonderful instagram followers - we love discovering new i'grammers and are eternally inspired by your gorgeous pics!!

Ohhhh... she's such a little peach!! I still remember the day I spotted Teresa walking down a residential street in Suffolk Park in Byron Bay... I literally stopped my car in the middle of the street, pulled on the park break and and jumped out of the car onto the street. I gave her our business card and asked if she'd ever consider modeling for us... the rest (as they say) is history.

So proud to see her looking so precious here for Fashion Gone Rogue!
