Getting in the mood for AW14~ Hibernation Girl

Book of Deer is 2 years old, incidentally a few days before my own 28th birthday-- we both feel old and young at the same time. Taking a moment to reflect, I can appreciate all the little milestones along the way... the added stockists, snippets of press and widened circles of exposure. Most of all, I value the relationships I have built with the kind customers that keep coming back. So to every one of you that has liked, shared and worn Book of Deer I would like to take this moment to say thank you. I look forward to watching Book of Deer continue to grow, take baby steps towards becoming the fully fledged brand I envision and I'm very grateful to have you keep me company on the journey!

To celebrate our birthdays please take 20% off Book of Deer's SS14 collection with code: 2YEARBOD (until the 17th of April!)

Here's a sneaky peek of our AW14 collection... more to come very soon!

Today, I stumbled upon these stunning images by Moscow-based photographer Katerina Plotnikova and immediately fell in love. Katerina photographs animals and girls together to create fairy-tale like imagery that evokes the often forgotten bond between people and nature. Katerina worked with animal-trainers to set up these amazing shots, the gentle interactions between the girls and animals give the images a sense of serenity and surrealism...they are, in Ms Plotnikova’s own words, “another tale about wonderland”. Katerina's photography looks to be straight out of a fairy tale, what I wouldn't give to have her shoot a Book of Deer collection one day!

Sending our love to all the wonderful Mums out there, Happy Mother's Day!
