A few weeks ago I was looking at my favorite blogs list on my blog and came across this lovely vintage Alfred Shaheen dress. The lovely ladies over at Violet Folklore Vintage on etsy were so nice in letting me have it! I fell in love with this amazing peacock printed 70s dress instantly. The fit was perfect and well this is the perfect Fall dress to my eyes.
We chose to go up on the Mount-Royal to take good shots of it because of the beautiful scenery and forest with many pathways. I haven't been up there in over 10 years! I was happy to not come across any snakes I am so scared of them, I run and scream when I see one. We also went up there to take photos of Montreal and show Stéphane's mom that Montreal is not a big bad city but a beautiful one full of great things to visit.
About the rest of my outfit, I am wearing a pair of 60s taupe leather laceup boots found at Flashback at Kensington market Toronto, Peacock blue tights from Ardene's and a vintage 70s double strap leather belt from a random vintage shop in Verdun Montreal.
Fall is here and I love it :)

I can't possibly tell you how much I adore your dress! Its perfect with the belt and those fabulous boots. Amazing.
Hi Izzy,
What a well-named and lovely-looking post. I was on a random site and saw a link to yours on a blog roll. For some reason, I clicked yours, instantly your page loaded up... and I saw you in the peacock dress at the top. It looked so familiar to me, I thought to myself..."Wait, is that THE amazing dress from Violet Folklore, the one people were going crazy about all summer?" And yes... upon reading your post, I see that it is indeed the self-same dress.
I'm happy to see it went to a girl who blogged about it...complete with great photos in its new home. I had wanted the peacock dress too, yet now that I see you wearing it, it seems to have been made for you.
The blog roll I clicked you from wasn't Violet Folklore's. That's why I feel such a lucky little moment landing here. I never expected to see a very familiar dress on a blog I'd never visited before.
I'll check out your site more, because this nice connection makes me feel there's a welcome mat.

I seriously am in love with this entire outfit. Those boots are simply amazing!! I love that you put the pop of color in with the blue tights...your style is so fantastic!
Beautiful! And the blue tights peeking out are such a nice touch.
my heart is soaring! you are a DREAM in this dress! thank you for giving us such a thrill to see it all styled up and oh-so-obviously on the PERFECT lady!!!!! yay for fall peacock goodness! (-; Sasha
Again you are a style guru. On someone else the colors, patterns, and laces might look busy, but you manage to make it seem as if it feel together in the most wonderful way!
Beautiful post!
