{Just one of the girls}
My mom snapped this photo of my little sister during a pre-prom party my senior year of high school. I love seeing the moment from her unexpected tiny perspective on the ground. In that second in time -which we high school girls thought was all about us- the pic shows how really any moment is everyone's moment. We're all experiencing it from our own perspective and forming our own feelings & opinions even if we're not the one in the spotlight.
ps- My grandmother made my white dress out of a Vogue pattern we tweaked and I'm still crazy about it...
along with my headless best friends, Veronica & Alissa.

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

Wow Lauren, that photo says so much. Love your little sister trying to get in the action. And your dress is gorgeous. How great your grandmother made it for you. A truly beautiful and poignant post. ~Delores
Beautiful way to make a point, Lauren! "Any moment is everyone's moment" - love it! And that Vogue dress? Amazing!
That is completely adorable!
Sweet..... love the dresses! Julia
This is the most precious thing I've ever seen! And the white gown is gorgeous! Don't you love Vogue patterns?
I love photos that are taken from an unexpected perspective like this. I had two older sisters and can remember the feeling of excitement when they were getting ready for a big school dance.
That is such a stunning photo and your little sister is so cute! I am the baby in my family and remember thinking my sister (10 years older) was so cool with her long red hair and gorgeous body, but boy was she bossy. And I mean really bossy, I stayed with her most summers when I lived in London and she would make me use the same cup all day. Can you believe it? The horror!
And I am so diggin' red, black and white right now!
What a great photo! We have some big age gaps in our family too and I think it makes for some interesting sibling relationships.
....I was sewing my dress when my date arrived! eeek.
That was a priceless moment!

So fun! so excited to see the store!
You really nailed it. What great insight. Thanks for sharing and making all of us more mindful of others sharing "our" moments. I wish I could say something profound, but there's nothing left. Your photo and your post say it all. Your gown is stunning too.
This is most adorableT There is quite a large gap between you and your sweet little sister. It's a bit like in our family. My oldest is 13 years older then his youngest brother!
I love your observation about everyone's moment. So true, how often do we see life only from our own prospective!
girlfriend you never told us about your modeling days! how gorgeous are you!
no doubt your sis felt the magic and soaked up "her day" with the glamor girls
