A romantic victorian summer.

Brown c/o ClubCouture dress, White thrifted belt, Turquoise Crossroads ring, Tan Sam Edelman Valin wedges.

I had the amazing opportunity to work with Lydia Hudgens, her work is seriously gorgeous eye candy, and not to mention, she was really so fun to work with.  Eek, love Lydia!
Here is the first post/look with her and it was really such a fun look!  Also had another great opportunity to work with an aamazing hair stylist, Rebecca Butz, I decided I wanted a cute hair bow, reminiscent of Gaga.  I loooved my hair! She did my makeup too, a very soft and sweet look.
Am wearing a really pretty dress from ClubCouture with a victorian influence in the sleeves, love how they have volume at the ends.  I also love how it has this bohemian feel to it with the dark brown colors and the length of the dress.  It can be dressed up with hair in a high bun or dressed down with a cardigan layered on top.
Also! wanted to let you lovelies know, ClubCouture is having a free shipping worldwide (no minimum spend required) promotion on their site.  Shop for really affordable pretty summer dresses! (they have amazing minis for summer!) :)

Matchstick & Valin.

Dark blue American Apparel sheer blouse, Grey gifted Volcom Firebird Matchstick Jeans, Ivory vintage Chanel purse, Tan Sam Edelman Valins, Silver gifted Style Bonbon goth earcuff.

These jeans are one of the most unique I own, I love how it has this knee pad-like design..and the skinny jeans are such a great fit and super comfy.  I paired it with my very first Sam Edelman's!!  Was super happy when it came in the mail this week.  The Valin's are super comfy and I lovelove them, just had to get it too when it was on sale at Zappos! :)  Wore out also my AA sheer blouse, I always love this blouse, it's mesh, comfy, and soft.  This probably would be my go-to all over comfy outfit.
And I also found in the mail this aaamazing earcuff made by Style Bonbon!  I love how it has this delicate cross and small rock at the end of the chains.  She is so talented!  And not to mention, Yamila's style is so amazing, def check out her blog! :)
