leather and lace.

i hated that this leather tank was just sitting in my closet during these warm months, so i summer-fied it by pairing it with some lace shorts and open-toed sandals.

braided hairstyles usually have romantic or boho connotations. but lisa, from stilettos and diaper bags, recently rocked a kick-a$$ braided hairstyle that was totally rocker chic...and this leather tank called for just that. while she braided one side all the way down for a faux undercut look, i braided both sides just past my ears, then pinned them under the rest of my hair for a mullet slick-back look.

what kind of braided hairstyle are you rocking this summer?
or what braided style would you like to try?

(Lulu's top; Patty's Closet shorts; Sole Society shoes;
Ray-ban sunglasses; 9th & Elm monogram necklace)

get the look:

    I loooove the braids! I'm also digging the mixture of lace and leather. It's like a perfect yin yang of cuteness :)

    I bought this same top from Forever 21 and haven't worn it yet. I love the pairing with lace and tucking it in makes it less baggy.
    Cool side braids too.

    This outfit is what we've come to expect from you -- incredibly stylish while seeming casual and natural. You've mastered the art of dressing.

    Braids! I have to learn how to braid hair. Although it will be tough to do it with a wig.

    Great styling of leather for summer. Also, I probably should learn to braid someday. And I just may do that.

    braided hairstyles are my favorite and this one is so unique -- i love it! definitely has a little more edge than the average braid.
