Looks from Books: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea



Our book this month is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. Isn't the beach a perfect place for a photo shoot. This palette goes perfectly with the beach. You could also add accessories of any thing sea related. Some of our book club members came to book club with starfish bracelets in gold, real starfish barrettes and seahorse pendants. In the book Captain Nemo gets all he needs from the sea and is very inventive with the food and materials they used for everyday use. Luckily we don't have to do that and can wear these gorgeous clothes from our favorite designers.
