Today we have an introduction to Talia of The White Hearth. She is a ceramicist in Virginia and recently took a trip (and her Samantha dress) to France. She shares a travel journal:
Hello from across the pond! My name is Brenda, and I’m the blogger behind Sundays and Somedays where I share my life and style as an American girl living in London. I share a new post every Sunday (and some other days in between), and since I love to travel and fashion, that’s what I blog about most. If I can combine the two, that’s even better! I’d describe my style as classic, feminine but still a bit modern, so naturally, I love Virginia Dare dresses!
Travel Dresses & Tieks
At Virginia Dare Dress Co., we admire companies whose thoughtfulness shows in the beauty and quality of their products. It’s the kind of thing customers keep coming back for, and we love to see it. Tieks by Gavrieli is a brand we really admire. Their flats are iconic, with over sixty beautiful colors and the classic Tiek Blue soles. Speaking of soles, they are non-skid and split, so they can fold up and fit into your purse. Genius!..
How to Style Your Tieks
Don’t you love the feeling of slipping into perfect-for-you leather shoes?
We’re so excited to share a fun shoot we did in collaboration with one of our favorite shoe companies. Our friends at Tieks sent us a big box of their beautiful ballet flats, and we had so much fun trying them on and frolicking with our dresses in the rain…
Dresses for Paris
There is beauty to be found in all cities of the world, and there’s no place (we think) quite like Paris. To walk down the streets in your favorite dress with like-minded friends: what a dream! We love watching friends like Alicia Bruce pursue their goals and find ways to make fantastic trips a part of that goal…
An Afternoon Tea in Paris
It’s Paris, so we can agree it’s a lovely idea, right? Recently a group of creatives went to Paris for adventure, photographs, and the sheer joy of being there. Starting their journey as complete strangers, they ended up traveling kindreds. VDDCo. was delighted to be a part of this trip by hosting an afternoon tea from afar…
Making time for friendships
It’s a funny truth: what seems urgent isn’t always what’s most important. And yet, so many things feel urgent on a daily basis, don’t they? It can be easy to swing from one pressing task to the next, go to bed, and then repeat. Planning and enjoying a beautiful day with friends can initially feel frivolous. Afterward, though, we find ourselves walking away with such renewal, a new spring in our step, and the realization that meeting with kindreds was just what we needed. There’s just so much beauty and joy in it!…
A kindreds outing to Fields of Flowers and Petite LouLou
One of our biggest dreams here at Virginia Dare Dress Co. is to bring more beauty to everyday life, and a great way to accomplish that is through friendships and time together in person…

– Lemony Snicket
Have you ever wanted to start a business of your own? It’s an exciting journey to take, but it can feel daunting. Unknowns abound, and those unknowns can either cause us to pull away in hesitation, or lean in with the grandest of hope for the future and belief in our abilities…
“As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.”

Whether you are an artist yourself or strictly an admirer of beautiful things, we believe in cultivating an appreciation for pieces and places that draw you in, inspire, and leave you the slightest bit breathless…
