Tie Knot.

Wednesday, August 15, 2012



Dress: Bec&Bridge  |  Shorts: Vintage Lee  |  Bag: Céline  |  Wedges: Rachel Zoe  |  
Sunglasses: Karen Walker  |  Cuff: LUV AJ  |  Necklaces: (star) Gorjana + (heart) Alexa Leigh

This pretty lil’ dress came at the right time as the heat wave in LA keeps on getting crazier- 
Fall, can you come sooner?
I tied a knot on the front part of the dress to add a special detail to my overall look and added
my go-to vintage shorts for a fun, cool and laidback look to help me cool down
on this hot ass weather!
Tip:  Don’t be afraid to try new little things to your looks; tying as something as simple as a knot on your dress, will automatically turn your dress into a whole new look and it’ll make you stand out!
xoxo
ps. Answers to some questions you guys keep asking on my last posts:
1. The jeans from my ‘American’ post on monday are by SweetCamel , which I scored at a thrift store.
2. No, my tan isn’t fake. This is my natural skin color… but I do tend to get tanned easily in the sun when I lay out, especially my legs.
3. The camo iphone case from yesterdays post is from J.Crew (not in stores anymore, its from a couple seasons ago), I got mine on Ebay.
4. The red nail polish from my last post is Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri in 280 Rapid Red
