Goin to the Chapel



I haven't been to this church since I was a little girl. It used to be open all day every day, & my friend & I would ride our bikes there to play. One day we crept inside & it was dark, but there were a few gothic girls dressed in black with candles at the altar. It was so creepy, we thought they were having some kind of sacrificial ceremony. This is the first time I'd been back since then, & it was far less creepy then I remembered.



I bought this cotton frock from Nelly at Vintage Wishes. I love the lime green apples, combined with the navy & white polkadots. It buttons up the back & has two huge pockets. I think it's a new favourite!

  3. LOVE the gorgeous frock - it's perfect on you Leisa! Love the pretty church building too - I wouldn't be able to help myself - I'd be in there with a long goth dress, waaaay too much eyeliner and some candles too! Sarah xxx

  4. Darling, that apple frock is HEAVENLY! (pun intended)
    The apples are perfect Granny Smiths! they were my fave apple in Australia, sadly in NZ they're terrible! I had to switch to Braeburns. I'm very fussy about my apples.This gorgeous frock also reminds me of Green Apple shamppo! Sarah will likely remember it too. It was popular back in the 70's.There may have been a body spray too.Delicious!
    I adore little wee churches,they're always so twee and sweet. I would have been a bit startled by the Gothy girls...or maybe I was one! I'm not telling!
    You always do the best accessory shots-I'm inspired!

  7. What a sweet little chapel! It's adorable. I have such a soft spot for small churches and you get so many over here, not that you can go in too many as they have taken to now locking the majority of them as the little ones are in very remote areas. That dress is co cute!

  13. Your apple frock completely blasted me out of my seat! Especially with the white trim pockets. I think I might have to drag The Stylist to a local chapel that looks similar to the one you've snapped here. What a beautiful set of pics!!! I remember Green Apple shampoo too - loved it! xoxo

  14. Oh what a gorgeous frock! Great apple print, and green is always good, right?
    Pretty little church too, lovely photos. I can just imagine Helga as one of the Goth girls being dramatic and spooky! xxx

  15. The church and the dress are both gorgeous Leisa! What a weird experience though with those gothic gals....I'm suprised it didn't scar you for life! I think your bright & bubbly personality and outfit would have banished any lingering goth vibes haha xx
