Leather and lace.

Sunday 18 December 2011

(Faux leather shorts - Topshop, lace kimono - Sportsgirl, singlet - Miss Shop, gold cuff - ASOS, belt - vintage, rings - Kenneth Jay Lane, Diva, Karen Walker from Beginning Boutique)

There is no better time than an Australian summer for my favourite juxtaposition of leather and diaphanous, lace-trimmed kimonos. I love how this kimono lilts with the soft afternoon breezes and imbues me with a Bohemian spirit. And since the weather has been far from sweltering, I have been living in my favourite leather shorts, which add enough edge to any outfit to prevent my girly dispositions from compiling an outfit that is too saccharine. 

Photos taken by my beautiful mummy. 

Love, Mandy. xx
