This song has been in my head right from the very first time I heard it, I connected. There is something about going down to the river that clears your mind, gives you a break from reality and the drag of real life.
There is something about just taking time out by a river that works wonders for the soul.
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain

Aluna J boutique Norwich
This gorgeous dress is one I bought from local boutique Aluna J  in in Norwich before it was even available in store after making a debut on Twitter. What do you think? I adore the gorgeous green pattern along with the light summery feel to the dress. It's not often I go for a strappy dress, my usual style is more high line but I have to say I felt comfortable in this neckline, it wasn't too low to cause concern and made for a nice change. If you ask me, summer calls out for a long sheer skirt with a mini underlay, just like the dress I wore for my forest shoot with Jon Clifton. The way the light shines through is kind of magical to me and keeps things that bit more fun that a plain maxi.

I picked the boots up at a local yard sale for £1 and they look brand new as well as smelling suspiciously like leather. Also worn with some walking socks, an arm party and a bird gem necklace.
My hair was acting the goat so I had to tether back the front fronds which has actually made for a serendipitously sweet do, I'll have to try it more often.

If you want to get your sticky paws on this dress or just have a good nosey at what's in store  at Aluna J you certainly can do.
Pictures taken on the Fakenham River walk, more to come from there soon, plenty of wildlife caught on camera to share!
Hugs to you all,
Sophie
