There's something about a late spring/early summer gloom that really makes me... happy? This entire month has been rainy and gloomy and I'm here for it. I've been living in this Paisley Raye Primrose dress lately and I just can't help it. It's so good! The super light rayon fabric is easy to wear and will make those inevitable scorching summer days that much more bearable.

Paisley Raye is a woman-owned small business that makes all their clothing right here in the USA. If you've been following me for some time, you know how important buying ethical is and I love that I can confidently shop for cute clothes here! Paisley Raye has a good mix of both contemporary and vintage inspired designs and I feel like this Primrose dress is a little of both. This dress is a true wrap style and features flutter sleeves, a surplice neckline, and a twirl-worthy high low skirt. This is actually my third Primrose dress, I love how versatile this style is! All of Paisley Raye's designs are manufactured in sizes XS-3X. I'm a pretty straightforward size small, so I would say their designs run true to size. The Primrose is also priced well under $100, so you can get one (or two!) and feel good about supporting a small business. You can also get free US shipping with the code SOCALBELLE, so go ahead and treat yourself!
I've been going on photography adventures with my younger brother lately and I'm loving the time we get to spend together. He's actually more of a travel/landscape photographer, so we find fun places to shoot and he gets behind my camera for my blog photos too. He actually took these photos here and I love his keen eye for a good shot! As someone who relies on her tripod and remote to capture 99% of her images, I'm excited that someone (and a family member, no less) actually wants to help me! You can check out his work and follow him on Instagram HERE!
