The soft warrior…..

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I kinda look grumpy in the pictures, don’t I? Sorry about that! It’s been too hot lately and everything feels sticky!

I like the idea of combining soft and tough pieces. To me, they represent a modern woman…she’s tough and determined but at the same time, she’s vulnerable and delicate, except she’s not going to show her weakness to anyone.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a great Father’s Day! :-)xxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxxoxoxoo

(ASOS leather corset, Topshop skirt, Piperlime shoes)

    Looking lovely. I prefer the combination of soft and tough to all the hard Balmain stuff from a year or so ago – much more accessible…
