She Blooms in Autumn

It is often joked that our part of East Texas has only two seasons. The Dry Season is when everything withers and dies from the unrelenting heat. Then, there is the Wet Season. This is the mixture of Autumn and Winter. Our days are cold and wet. No snow. Just a wind and rain that chills you to the bone. And these two seasons can be witnessed in the span of 24 hours!
Regardless of our bipolar weather, East Texans still like to make a big deal about the coming of Autumn. We love our Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING, spicy chilly cook-offs, and cozy Fall outfits!
This post is going to feature a stanza from Autumn by Alexander Pushkin. Why? Because it flawlessly collides with my feelings towards this time of year. The vibe from our latest photo session with Sofia is also in sync. And, because I'm Russian and genuinely miss the Russian season changes.

Oh, mournful season that delights the eyes,
Your farewell beauty captivates my spirit.
I love the pomp of Nature’s fading dyes,
The forests, garmented in gold and purple,
The rush of noisy wind, and the pale skies
Half-hidden by the clouds in darkling billows,
And the rare sun-ray and the early frost,
And threats of grizzled Winter, heard and lost.

Each time that Autumn comes I bloom afresh;
For me, I find, the Russian cold is good;
Sofia adorned in the handy work of her Nanny, Linda & Ellie, and Love & Lilah. I cannot believe how gorgeous all of these pieces are individually and as a full outfit.
The green dress was made by Sofia's grandmother. It features a peter pan collar...which I am obsessed with!
I am also completely in love with this golden pinafore from Linda & Ellie. The quality of this piece is amazing and I love that it is functional during both Dry and Wet seasons. bahahah I will post links to her shop and info below.
Love & Lilah always provides the best hair goodies. This one is my new fave! I mean.....animal prints!!! Her shop info will be listed below as well!
