blackout

1 July 2012 by Carolina Engman

BLACK. Back again with another peplum outfit I created for Asos. For this look I played with contrasting materials (sequins, silk, leather, suede) & proportions – a great way to make a monochrome black outfit more interesting! These pictures were shot in one of my all time favorite cities, Barcelona, a couple of weeks ago. On the 11th I’m finally going back for an event + a couple of days of vacation, seriously can’t wait!!

ASOS peplum top (get it here + similar ones here, here & here. H&M leather skirt with thigh high slit ( similar here & here.) CÉLINE audrey sunglasses (similar here & here). ZARA leopard clutch (similar here & here). MICHAEL KORS watch (similar here & here). CARVELA attack black pumps (similar here).
