cream

Dress: courtesy of Motel Rocks. Boots: Dr. Martens. Snake bite ring: Ebay. White ring: New Orleans boutique
Short dresses with long sleeves. You know it's a fave style. The black and gold one I've worn before a few times including here is like the alter ego version to this cream one.
Thanks Motel Rocks for sending me this. I'll layer it with black wool tights and boots when it's winter.
ps. For those who've emailed me about my hair. It's relaxed (chemical straightener). To get it curly, after washing I leave some conditioner in and plait two pigtails which I sleep in over night to air dry. Next morning I un-plait it and it's like the above (after drying it a bit more by itself).

  15. Nice details on the sleeves, it's definitely a good change from the usual hanging shoulder embellishments that are ever so popular right now.

  31. Love! I like this way more than the black and gold one, I prefer small patterns, especially when they are made with studs or other appliques. The red Doc Martens add a nice pop of color!

  65. Hi im gonna try to write a correct commentary in correct english because 1)im french 2)i tried but i cant help myself not to redact u something.
    u have a great style, really inspiring to me, a mix of diva and something more wild more rock (i have no word). I had to write it cause im more and more bored by what i see on blogs and ur style is refreshing, inspired and inspiring.
    U are beautiful.
