Completely trashed my nude pointy flats while hopping between damp sticks, and would do it again too. The serene lake sunrise was the perfect backdrop for this fairy-tale look. Can you tell the magic of Bavaria influenced my outfits? This Zaful off-shoulder dress seems to have walked right out of an Arthurian legend.

 ‘And near him stood the Lady of the Lake,
  Who knows a subtler magic than his own—
  Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful.
  She gave the King his huge cross-hilted sword,
  Whereby to drive the heathen out: a mist
  Of incense curled about her, and her face
  Wellnigh was hidden in the minster gloom;
  But there was heard among the holy hymns
  A voice as of the waters, for she dwells
  Down in a deep; calm, whatsoever storms
  May shake the world, and when the surface rolls,
  Hath power to walk the waters like our Lord.

“Idylls of the King” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
