I pass these bridges on my way to work everyday and I’ve always wanted to take photos on them. Finally, while out in the arts district I had my chance.

I couldn’t have had better natural lighting or wind effect.

Theory knit sweater, L.A.M.B shoes and Marc Jacobs sunglasses.

This Theory sweater has become one of my favorite pieces. It is unintentionally sexy and yet still a bit edgy.

Roberto Cavalli vintage bag, House of Harlow bangle and cuff.

Have you ever rummaged through your mom’s closet looking for that sweater she swears she never borrowed – but you know from past experiences it’s buried in the back of her closet – behind the gardening clogs and cargo capris!

Well I recently had that experience – no stolen sweater was found- but instead I made out with something better…

A Roberto Cavalli waist pouch!

I Googled like a mad woman trying to find information on the pouch beside what little information was give on the tag. No luck!

It’s natural untreated leather with gold and onyx and studs, on a adjustable belt.

Not exactly sure what I am going to wear it with…

But you know I will share it with you…  Don’t worry, this was buried so far in the back her closet, she won’t come looking for it any time soon!

But I do give them this, they tend have some of the most beautiful and creative fashion spreads! I can fully appreciate the creativity and styling that goes into each look.

Lust-Spiele = Desire Plays

Intoxication that would sharpen tulle and ruffle: boudoir looks of delicately frivolously until erotically extravagant -German Translation

My translation:

Romantic Drama

Where avant garde vintage meet elegant  sensuality!

The bedroom makes me want to be swept away

like a helpless maiden by a vigorous knight!
