BLING

Fashion
May 12, 2009111 Comments

All necklaces worn are vintage, and all are very recent acquisitions. Expect to see some on the vintage site soon…definitely not going to part with that cross though! What a piece.
Worn with Martin Margiela biege sandal-boots, BCBG skirt, and Ann Sofie Back sweater.

I’ve followed a few different blogs over the past few years, and whilst other bloggers I’ve found start repeating the same combinations over and over, yours are constantly fresh and inspiring. You should definately have your own label or magazine some day! x Delaney

My hairstylist told me about your blog and she so intrigued me that I had to check it out, and I find it very compelling: your photos are really clean and the colour always pops, and you have a really fresh, pretty vibe about you, not to mention that you have an absolutely fearless style!
