Rag & Bone leather jacket
Surface to Air top
Sea reptile printed leggings
Givenchy lace up boots
This insanely tagged up building in Seattle used to be a spa until a couple years ago it was discovered to be a brothel and then condemned. I feel like the colorful graffiti is such an eerie offset to the desolate lot. One thing I love about shooting is that my boyfriend (I get asked this question a lot about who is my photographer) and I roam around and find these awesome spots, it's a fun hobby we share. We literally shot these before grocery shopping yesterday (I changed into flats.. felt weird going into Whole Foods wearing 5-inch heels). Anyway, I like these reptile printed leggings especially for the thick elastic bandaging detail around the lower leg that peep out from the boots if you look closely, easy to wear with all black since they're crazy enough on their own.
The colors in these pictures are so pretty, you definitely pop in all black. I love the reptile print as well.

This outfit friggin rocks! I have snakeskin print leggings but I've always been afraid to wear them with uber sexy tall boots (I am not sure what my issues is), so I always paired it with something more casual. Kudos to you for making it look so chic! And the graffiti is the perfect backdrop.
ReplyDeletelovely lovely photos! :D i love the contrast...where is that building anyway???
ReplyDeleteit's so lovely that your bf is able to take such fantastic shots of you!! sighh if only my boyfriend were better than me at using a camera haha...
btw, I'm going to Seattle soon! :D for vacation!! Any places you'd recommend to check out? Places that like mainly locals would know and aren't too particularly touristy? Be it shopping or food or simple a fun thing to do??

I absolutely love your blog. The colors in the background of these photos in comparison to your outfit really make a statement.
