hello holiday

My mom, cousin and I went over to small town Texas on Sunday to photograph all of the beautiful party dresses we've been collecting for both of our shops, Dalena Vintage and Deoma's Boutique. I like to think of our shops as sisters, Deoma possessing an older air of elegance and maturity, and Dalena, surrounded by an aura of youth and flirtation with dreams of walking in her sister's shoes one day.

A gorgeous home built in the early 1900's, the house is filled with antiques and memories of annual Christmas gatherings and summer reunions. Here's the fruit of our labor.

Such a busy weekend it's been over here! Yesterday was spent as a clean-up girl over at a construction site my uncle is finishing up, and today as an all around gal in the creation of a holiday lookbook my mom and I have had in the works. As we recently collected a slew of perfect party dresses, we decided to join forces for a holiday-themed photo shoot.

The location was perfect! It was in a home we've spent our family Christmas' and annual summer family reunions every year for over 30 years. My aunt and uncle were even married at the house in the late 1970's. Needless to say it holds a dear place in both our hearts.

Here's a sneak peak of the shoot, but stay tuned for the Dalena & Deoma Vintage Holiday Lookbook!
