I've never been able to pinpoint my fashion style; there are days when I want to dress like a punk, like a schoolgirl, like a prep, like '40s housewife. It really varies. However, there's always one type of collaboration I've always loved, and it's mixing two completely different elements. For example, mixing a sweetheart neckline dress with ripped tights and Doc Martens. Mixing something pretty with something rough. Maybe a bit of that 'bad boy + good girl' combo, or in my case, 'bad girl + good boy'.

Which is why I love the following spread, because it focuses on one of my more favored mixes, leather and lace. Leather, which by all accounts, is known as tough, rough, beaten. I mean, it's what Sandy from Grease wore when she tore of her 'goody two shoes' image. And Lace, known as more Victoria, old fashioned, innocent with a bit of sass. Put the two together? You've got Badass.
