detroit — blog — prêt-à-provost

well it’s that time of year again! i headed back home to attend the detroit institute of arts annual fundraising gala with my family. this year i opted for a more traditional look with a simple black ballgown and decided to make it a little more covered up by adding this lace button down from the archives. once i tried on everything it screamed “queen victoria meets billie porter" …and i’m not going to lie, i think i nailed it! haha!

once and foral

with the end of summer nearing, i’m trying to squeeze in my last few floral dresses. so when i went home to detroit a few weeks ago, i carved out just enough time to photograph this kate spade dress (first seen on my instagram here) from my favorite view of detroit…in canada! so i grabbed my passport and headed across the river to windsor, ontario to get these photos at sunset.

while most passing people in new york are used to the typical blog shoot, the residents of windsor were not quite sure what to make of it so to say i got a lot of looks would be an understatement haha! but it was all worth it because these are some of my favorite photos i’ve taken while back home!
