When BHLDN asked me if I wanted to partner with them for their Haute Holiday look campaign I got pretty excited. I was inspired by a more vintage, 60s/70s, bohemian look and fell in love with the embroidery on this Anna Sui dress. I love how it is definitely influenced by flower power prints of the 60s, but is sophisticated and modern at the same time. Plus: long sleeves. It's winter, people.

I recently visited Post Hall, which is an amazing wedding and event venue that is currently finishing up renovation in downtown Tacoma, and I knew it would be the perfect spot to grab some shots of this look. I wish Post Hall had existed back when I got married, it would've been perfect! It's not even finished yet and they've booked quite a few weddings for 2014. If you're in the Tacoma/Seattle area and have an event or wedding in need of a venue, you should give Post Hall a looksie. It's in the old Post Office building downtown, which is an amazing building built in 1909. Instead of ripping everything out and renovating, they're restoring nearly everything to its former glory. I adore when people value old things and choose to restore them, rather than discarding them. We live in a culture obsessed with throwing out the old and bringing in the new, so it's refreshing to see someone appreciating the value of things from the past.
