Russian Roulette


H&M long pocket tank dress, Chains of Love hand armor, Noir, Bleach Black and eBay rings,
Balenciaga platform cork sandals, Nars lipstick in Schiap.




Chains of Love Hand Armor

These chains are the perfect touch to my gothic dress. Kind of dark like a Vampire, and I like that.

Every time I wear these shoes my heart beats like a hammer... I kind of want brown now, too.





What are your plans for this long Holiday weekend? Fill me in. I hope you enjoy the extra days off.
Talk soon... I have to start packing for my road trip next week!

I love the dress. Not many people are willing to try a long dark dress! The chains are a nice addition to the outfit. They give it a sense of interest! Love your blog. Feel free to leave a comment on mine!

you look absolutely amazing, as always. love the lipstick. x

I love that dress! I had my first experience wearing a maxi dress yesterday and it was odd walking about because no one is "fashionable" where I live, so they all looked me up and down. Weird.

Love the whole outfit. I've been coveting those shoes for forever! :)

God I love your hair. I'm trying to grow mine, although it needs a trim as the ends are rather dry and splitting.
This look is great with the black and chains and those amazing shoes.

Lorena said...

I really like this outfit, the dress is really flattering and looks fantastic paired with those shoes and the hand armour is very cool. I think the hand armour really works here because you didn't pair it with an over-the-top outfit, there is a nice balance between the clothes and the jewelry.

Your hair looks amazing after the cut! Loving the hand chain detail too.

The sun through the leave makes such a beautiful pattern on your dress. This is among a few of the all black outfits in a nature setting that I'm seeing lately and to be quite honest, it's a refresing change to the flower mix everyone's doing this summer. The jewelry is as always great!

Oh, my darling, I adore your hair.

So Audrey Hepburn this shot is, so glamorous....I love it.

The chains are wicked too...perfection and just the right touch to the dress.

p.s. the shoes....ooooh, go for it...life is short (haha, I'm the devil on your right shoulder obviously :). I was really into those shoes but have gotten over them. And how. I have the attenion span of a 3 year old haha.

Hows all with you? What are you up to these day, bellisima?

Style with Benefits said...

The fourth pic down is stunning! I mean they're all gorg, but I love the placement of your hair over your face. The long dress is fab with the heels (jealous you have those!).

Hope you have fun on your road trip!
