The Love Label

(Very.com “Love Label” Dress, Minimarket Dear Fieldbinder boots, Tommy Ton for Club Monaco bag, Alimonada necklace, Opening Ceremony sunglasses from Rad & Refined)

It is officially Spring, and already, things feel new and fresh again. My apartment is slowly coming together (I’ve got FURNITURE!) annnnd my wardrobe has gone through quite the clean out. Right now, I’m a bit obsessed with this classic white skater dress by Very.com’s new “Love Label!” This UK online shop has got me hooked ever since I met up with them for dinner here in the States over fashion week. They may be some of the sweetest people ever! And what’s super cool is their Love Label is affordable and just downright wearable…plus, it’s brought to us due to the new America’s Next Top Model “British Invasion” series which just came out the other week! I have to admit, ANTM has been an addiction of mine ever since the very beginning…and will continually be my guilty please. Thanks Very.com for a very sweet, sweet new season! A touch of British fashion never hurts 🙂

Spike Hill

(“Natalie Suarez for Volcom” studded vest, Willow & Clay knit sweater, Juicy Couture jeans, Dolce Vita ankle boots, Botkier bag, Alimonada spike necklaces/bracelets, Plukka “bullet” ring)

Little spikes here and there always get my attention. I love a giant stud on an item of clothing (hence the vest I designed for Volcom) and I love little sharp edged jewels to adorn my fingers. People are always interested in what I have on my hands…normally it’s much more that even I can handle! Fooling everyone into thinking I’m this tough girl who can’t really be messed with is the fun part. Anyways, I will always be a fan of studs, spikes, or anything that could double as a weapon, to hammer onto a piece of fabric. Mixing something like my vest with something a bit more sweet and a bit more surf, like a crochet knitted sweater, sort of softens up the look. You can probably tell that my jewelry collection is nothing but crazy necklaces and wild armor, but there’s one piece that really blows my mind…and it is my Plukka “Bullet” ring. It’s luxurious and beautiful, but has a bit of danger to it. You’re sure to scare off the bad guys with this one!

Be sure to check out Plukka’s “Bullet” ring giveaway on their Facebook…you too can walk on the wild side 🙂
