These long, satin white gloves had arrived in the post yesterday and when I got home from work trying them on for a quick shoot (which eventually lasted an hour and a half) took precedence over eating - and I wanted to try and catch the evening light. I'd only had an apple since breakfast - which also might benefit my figure in these shots - but basically the need for a full-on dressing-up session just needed to take priority over everything else. The flowers are fresh cut from the garden and just holding them added to the wonderful sense of fairy-tale romance.
