SPRING COLOR BLOCKING

I asked my friend Lucy to help me with a project I'm working on for Vintage Vixen (more to come on that later), but it took a conceptual turn and I found myself with a model surplus. Lucy was still game for playing dress up, though: here she is wearing a gorgeous silk blouse by French label Equipment and vintage Escada trousers with vintage accessories. The red with fuschia feels very current and a high waist + gold = never better. Consider this post a trend "how-to" piece, if you will! I shot Lucy last year as well and have included some snapshots of that action below...

JESUS PIECE

My mom and I went through a bunch of her old jewelry this past weekend and I took the opportunity to stock up on relics of her Catholic upbringing, including a black-beaded rosary and a cameo of St. Christopher. Have I mentioned before that my great-uncle was a priest in Brazil? No? Well, he was! This inimitable cross was part of his vestments, or maybe he just slayed vampires with it or...IDK. Either way, I’m really excited to pair it with a plunging V-neck and lots of black.

P.S. It's HUGE. I don't know if you can tell from the picture. Think Flava Flav. (Ok, not THAT big, but still!) Like this post? Be sure to follow me on Instagram @xoxofruitpunch to peep all of my favorite finds!
