Dress: Ida Sjostedt Mimi dress, gift from Lisa of Cancan
Shoes: Dolce Vita
Bag: thrift store
Floral wreath: self-made
We’ve been to Swan House before, but when Lisa sent me this dress from her store Cancan I knew it deserved something kind of magical and pseudo-European. Well, at least Atlanta’s idea of European . . . This house was built in the ’20s for a member of one of Atlanta’s wealthiest families, and it’s pretty grand and flashy and maybe a little bit Gatsby mansion, with fountains and swirling staircases and gardens and a big lawn that looks like it was meant for 1920s dance parties. The inside looks pretty fancy too–not that we took a tour, but I peeked in.
Maybe I also wanted to go back to Swan House because it kind of reminds me of a flashed-up version of the old chateaus that keep going by in coverage for the Tour de France (Drew’s obsessed, and I like it too because sometimes the commentators sneak in history lessons). But really I just wanted a backdrop that would be worthy of this dress. I’ve got a post in the works all about Lisa and her shop because she picks out such good things for it from such good labels (Sretsis, Mini Market, Peter Jensen) and has such good style herself that I just want to pick her brain. Plus, she’s the nicest!
This dress is from Ida Sjostedt, a label I never heard about ’till I saw Lisa’s shop. And I think it might be one of my fanciest dresses. Probably too fancy for the weekend I just had. After we took photos at the Swan House we drove a few blocks towards Buckhead and got things for closet and baking organization and then went to the grocery store. After that we went running. I’ve been trying to run more. Drew’s trying to get me to run a half-marathon with him, which I don’t think I could do at all. But then I’m sort of tempted because supposedly you run it at F.D.R. State Park, where F.D.R. had picnics?? But then I think I’m too light-footed. (PS–the last time I brought up running some of you asked what I wear. Nothing fancy! Mostly Target sale rack running things and very sensible shoes).
The rest of our weekend was pretty lazy and restful, doing the traditional back-in-Atlanta kinds of things, like eating at La Fonda, drinking lots of coffee, visiting the dance club mall. We joked about how we never buy anything, but then I came out with two things, thanks to the amazing sales going on right now. I got an Urban Outfitters dress and an army-ish Fall jacket from Madewell, so now I’m hoping that the rainy skies this week will bring a bit of cool weather.
Gorgeous floral wreath, you are very good with your hands.
Love that first pic and the one of you looking in the window. So sweet. Really like the flower crown!

You look stunning in this dress, I never would have associated it with your look, but you look really ethereal and kind of remind me of a beautiful painting! xxx
That is such a fantastic dress! More colorful than what you usually wear, and it suits you. And your shoes are gorgeous. There’s this gossamer feel to all of these beautiful pictures.
That dress is so nice, these pictures are so summery and lovely!!

I’ve been following your blog for a few months, and being a former Atlantan, I just loooove your posts depicting the city. You really showcase what I miss about the South, especially the historical charm of the place. I love the Swan House!
OMG! I looove loooove everything! I love your dress, your shoes and your headpiece
hearts,

I loooove the picture of you staring into the window. It reminds me a little of the Secret Garden, in that mysterious vibe with a hint of pretty. I also love that dress, it’s one of the prettiest florals I’ve ever seen!
So absolutely gorgeous in every way.
R- I really love your blog (and have for many years!) Your redesign looks great and your style keeps evolving. I love everything about it.
Great work.
This is such a lovely setting for such a lovely dress. I really like your hair band to! x
I love this dress so, so much! Not your normal style, but it’s beautiful (:
the picture peering through the window is magical – the whole set is like something from an Angela Carter novel, just waiting for a surreal creature to appear…
Glad you picked that dress! It’s looks so good on you!
Love the colors!
Lovely pictures! And the dress is gorgeous!

The picture where you’re looking into the window is utter perfection!!
Beautiful house! Very Gatsby-esque you’re right
so beautiful to see you in such vibrant colours, you look adorable! x
I’m reading this on my blackberry and I don’t think it’s doing justice to the colours and image of that dress. It’s not something I would have imagined you wearing, which tells me I should be less sterwotypical, because it looks gorgeous on you!
What a house. I’ve always thought the only thing coppola got right in the gatsby movie was the party setting and clothes. I wonder what kind of people lived there…
Wow, certainly a different dress than I think we’ve seen you in for quite a while!!
Lovely dress all the same, and the neckline is lovely

Adore your floral wreath and the gorgeous dress.

The dress is beautiful, and the scenery really does it justice. You look so etherial and otherworldly in these pictures. Sort of like a woodland nymph in the best possible way.
These photos really are so beautiful!!! I already said it on your flickr, but you remind me of a some sort of dreamy ghost of a flower child. So nice! That dress is wonderful, too, I love the print and structure of it! xx
Wow. One of my favorite shoots from you so far. Everything is stunning, Rhiannon!
you look so ethereal-like, beautiful!
these are some of my favortite pics of you yet, you look so lovely. and that floral wreath is great- i like how its simple and doesn’t have too many flowers, most turn me off because they look way too bushy. and the dress is absolutely gorgeous.

i cannot decide what is prettier, the photos themselves or the lovely dress! you could make a paper bag look like a million bucks, as my granny loves to say.
Everything I read your blog I feel like I’m learning something new about the beautiful architecture/heritage around where you live. Plus, that dress is beautiful!
these pictures are all soo dreamy. i love them.
as soon as i saw this i thought GATSBY MANSION! you can just imagine a grand 1920′s party, champagne and pretty flapper dresses and ladies and gentlemen embracing on the steps.
I cannot get over this dress! The colors are so gorgeous on you! It’s lovely
the last pic is heavenly pretty!
Love this!!
So heavenly looking… you are always so pretty… I’m so jealous

It’s fun to know you’re trying to run. I have a goal to finish ten marathons in one year with my boyfriend. We’re not very serious about it though-we don’t try to place or anything
I really like the picture of you peeking through the window. So lovely
