Friendship Love and Truth Vintage Wash Bohéme Slip Dress

The antiqued palette and versatility of this beautiful dress make it a wardrobe chameleon. Flowing and breezy, we love it styled up with a distressed jean jacket and sandals for warm-weather adventures, but we’ll also be wearing it through fall with boots and a cozy cardigan. Not to mention it makes the most romantic lounge dress for days off — whether you’re playing in the garden, reading, or napping. To dress it up, we suggest pairing it with the matching duster and adding some platforms, tassel earrings, and a few cocktail rings. Artsy, bohemian chic!

Our Muse: The bohemian, the stylist. Women who bring their own artistry and poetry to the way they dress, who inspire others to dress — and live — outside the lines.

In the era before social media and texting, the Victorians were great lovers of using pictures and symbols in their letters, artwork, and communications (kind of like we use emojis today ;)). Symbols like the ones in our FLT Vintage Wash design often appeared on greeting cards, postcards, and jewellery to communicate messages of love. Specific flowers even symbolized different things — for example, a camellia was symbol of longing, and the iris represented faith & hope. Back then, just like today, a picture was worth a throusand words :)

When You Need It

I will tell you something true:

Not all birds sing. The sun

rises behind
the rainbow of your ribcage.
I have squinted
to look at you, some days. 
I have warmed myself 
in that gold light. 

And something else:

Your hands
can drop the stone
and pick up joy. And mine
can hold water long enough
for both of us to drink.

If you forget
your name
I will show you where you left it
buried in the meadow
of your mouth. 

And one more thing:

Sorrow is only 
a word. Let the birds 
broom it away
from the sky with their wings. 

Leave it
in the shadow of the mountain
where the gleam in your eye
lights my way. 

I will walk you home.
