BLUEBELL
dress: c/o Jarlo | jewellery: c/o Swarovski
We took these shots a while back and haven’t put them up until now as Callum was spending extra time on them, to make sure they were just so. It’s been so hard keeping from sharing them with you all, but today is finally the day, and I really hope they’re worth the wait! Over the last few months we’ve been working hard at crafting beautiful editorial style shoots, really focusing on finding locations and outfits that are a perfect match. Girl in the Lens has come so far over the years, and we’ve been eager to move on from the days where we’d shoot looks in the streets outside our houses! We want it to be a real fashion destination, a place where you can find style inspiration but also creative photography and ideas too. Part of that is coming soon in our blog redesign – another thing I can’t wait to share with you guys! But it’s also starting with posts like this, through which I hope you can get a sense of the magic we felt shooting in this gorgeous location!
These bluebell woods in Hartwood Forest are one of my favourite places to go for long, slow walks, losing yourself in the beauty of the landscape and just letting your mind drift into dreams. So many of my book ideas have found inspiration amongst these trees! I’ve always wanted to do a shoot here, but I knew it had to be the perfect time, so the light and colours were just right. One Sunday, Callum and I decided to finally give it a go. It had been raining all day, grey and cloudy, but then around eight in the evening the sun broke through, so we grabbed our things and rushed over, running up the muddy path from the car park to the woods. It had gotten dark again in the time we were driving, but as soon as we stepped into the woods the light just came shining down, dappling the forest floor and turning the bluebells the most beautiful, vivid colour.
It was magical. The shoot was a bit of a rush too as we only had a few minutes left of daylight, but perhaps that makes it even more precious. I felt like a complete princess in my oh-so-gorgeous Jarlo Tillie dress and delicate Swarovski pieces – blue to match the flowers! – and these photos were totally worth ruining my heels in the mud for. To win your own Jarlo Tillie dress, just enter using the below form. It’s such a beautiful dress I had to give more than one away, so there are two up for grabs (one per winner). The size small will fit UK 8-12 as it’s a stretchy fabric, so hopefully you’ll be able to wear it. If not, it’d make a lovely gift!
Good luck sweeties! And I hope you like the pictures from our little shoot in the woods. Callum and I so happy with them, and that we got to share this magical moment with you all x

Thanks Sarah! 🙂
I don’t think it needs much a pair of nice heels and a nice silver bracelet and necklace. It suits you perfectly.
It would be simple – some gorgeous ballet flats and a simple necklace and my engagement ring. 🙂

So nice on you and I like the jewelry you wear with it. I’d wear this dress with some pretty rose gold sandals.
Wow so lovely! I’ve always wanted to find a place like that with so many beautiful flowers.

Thanks! It’s such a wonderful place z
The photographs are just breathtaking; you look like a lovely woodland fairy dancing among the flowers 🙂
I would style the dress with some white platform sandals and perhaps a flower crown to maximise the girliness.
Thanks so much for your sweet comment Jen!

Thanks Pinky!!
Also,we would love to collaborate with on fashion blogger(mostly outfit post review),will you interested in?
Please send all collaboration requests to our email: girlinthelensblog@gmail.com. Thanks!
I would leave it styled just the way it is, it stands out on its own!
There are so many things I’d do with this gorgeous gorgeous dress!
1. Grunge it up with a leather jacket and creepers.
2. Keep it feminine and pretty with some wedges and jewellery.
3. Boho – floppy hat, sunnies and relaxed sandals.
You styled it really well too 🙂
The possibilities are endless! Thanks babe x
Great giveaway! I would style it with a hat, tan leather sandals and bag 🙂
xx
Loveeee these dresses and I have so many important events coming up!! <3
I would style it with a jacket and a pair of hills.
All these photos are so dreamlike and the bluebells look gorgeous! You look amazing in that dress, I think I’d style it with a denim jacket for summer (if I was to wear a jacket) and some flat sandals then a leather jacket and some chunky heeled boots for winter x

Thanks so much Tasha!
Beautiful images! I love this dress. I think I’d style this dress with a floral crown, white heels and a few rings. Or completely different with black boots, a biker jacket and hat xo
Sounds perfect 🙂
Gorgeous photos!! <3
I would definitely pair this dress dainty accessories and a pair of red heels to keep up with the romantic demeanor.

Thanks beautiful! x
I’ve always loved you and Callum’s photography! While I never quite liked other ‘just-in-the-street’ outfit photo’s on other blogs I’ve always loved them here 😀 I hope even in the new direction you guys will still shoot there especially when the trees turn so pretty like in autumn and spring! But I’m definitely quite digging this new editioral style too 🙂 as I never had a pretty street I’ve been trying to hunt down the perfect locations myself. Think you guys are doing so great! Can’t wait to see the new design 🙂 oh and I’ve also entered the giveway, fingers crossed. Maya – Archistas
Thank you Maya! It’s great to hear that you do like the street style shots – I was worried they were boring for you guys. We’ll definitely be continuing them, just hopefully with more varied content around them too! x
My lovely white cardigan with shoulder pads and statement bag 😀
I would pair this dress with sandals in white color and with white jewelry. Thanks!
