Concrete Catwalk // Leatha

 

ok, well they're not REAL leath-ah,

the sparkly flowiness of this top, 
which was exactly what i was hoping for.

i have been working hard on putting together the fashion show, 
and i think it is going to be just fabulous!
would love to see you there!

Concrete Catwalk // Scalloped

two of my fave current pieces in my closet

skirt - vintage, thrifted

belt - forever21

Concrete Catwalk // Scooter Style

 

when i head out looking for street style

shamelessly blaming helmet & scooter ride)

henley - urban outfitters

trousers - j. crew

boots - asos.com

bag - vintage, boomerang

rings - j. crew
