Loves!! Have you ever heard of Cadillac Ranch?? It’s an art installation on the side of the road out in north Texas. Starting in 1974, Chip Lord, Doug Michels, and Hudson Marquez began burying Cadillac cars in the ground. In the 1980s people began spray painting them (there’s a store near the site where you can buy spray paint if you want to!). Literally, this is a field off the highway, you can read more about it here.
This was one of the most fun, spontaneous, and hard to stage shoots I’ve done (and I shot a cocktail dress on a paddle board!). My family and I knew that we would be driving by, and luckily I had a dress for that in the car (more on that….). We didn’t plan the shoot, we couldn’t help that there were a ton of other people around, we couldn’t help what time we got there. But loves! What a fun background! What a statement! What a shoot!
And this dress! It’s Zara. I bought it because I love the Missioni, vintage vibes, and it hasn’t failed me yet! I wore it on my family road trip, in front of cars, with or without a belt, to a wig party, and to brunch. It doesn’t need much help, though I love it with the gold belt and sandals. It goes with heels and flats, and will be perfect all the way through fall. And how great does it go with these cars?
This shoot at Cadillac Ranch was everything I love about fashion, art, and shoots. Completely fun, a little out there, a little off the cuff, and in the end-perfect!
I hope that you have a great weekend! You can shop my picks below!
