I love this dark, intricate looks from the Herve Leger show. I know some people that won't mix black and navy, but I think these looks prove that it can be done, and done well. My take-aways: not only mix the colors, but the textures (velvet, leather, knits, fur) and you got yourself a badass little outfit.

I am excited to announce that my dear friends at Caption London have recently launched an online boutique where you can purchase designs from the new, independent, emerging designers that they represent. I have previously published interviews with two of the designers being sold, Dominique Kral and Jeva Bartuseviciute of Freak Factory. I admire the talents of all the designers that are represented by Caption London, as well as the aim of the PR agency. Finally, you can find all of their designs in one place!

As a special treat, Caption London is offering my readers a discount on purchases from the boutique. Use the code SBFB001 to receive 10% off of your total order!

I cannot get over this collection. The stunning cut-outs and use of leather in the Alexander Wang Spring 2013 collection is definitely going to be an inspiration as I start designing my newest collection for the fashion show I am doing in the Spring. More details to come about the show, I am too tired to spill right now.

Sorry for my lack of updates lately. School has started again and I've been in a bit of a funk. I put together this outfit of some indulgences I've recently been obsessed over. I can't afford anything here - except for the Asos chain necklace that is currently in my shopping cart - but its nice to look at and day dream. I need a little retail therapy to pull me out of this bad mood I've been in the last couple of days. Still trying to adjust to being back in State College and going to classes. Hopefully a new outfit post is soon to come.
