Give-nchy me

18.06.12 | Tara | 20 Comments

Givenchy Antigona Iris Tote bag on loan from Dressed boutique, Aritzia tank and silk shirtdress (worn open), Helmut Lang skirt, Zara heels, purple stone necklace worn as bracelet made by me, c/o Poshlocket bangles, vintage and Argentum & Aurum necklaces

…

 Hello lover! Is this Givenchy Iris tote not everything? Thanks to ‘dressed’ boutique in Santa Barbara I got to hang out with her this past week, play dress up and style an outfit around her. It was a bag I had seen and lusted after from afar, so this project was a dream come true. Since I am having a major yellow moment in my life currently (see here and here) I decided to work with the yellow in the bag (with a touch of purple) and go for some drama.

The bag (she) is now off to the next girl to be styled – it is literally the sisterhood of the traveling Givenchy bag! See how my friend Krystal of This Time Tomorrow styled it here last week, and check in on these ladies in the next few weeks as it travels across the U.S.:  Christine of My Style Pill, Jacey of Damsel in Dior, Alicia of Cheetah Is The New Black, Audrey of Casual Glamorous, Kiara of Tobruck Ave, Anna of See Jane and Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps.

How would you have styled it? #dressedproject

psst… are you a fan of the wonder girl on facebook and following on instagram?

    That Givenchy tote IS everything! It is soooo beautiful! It looks almost as if the gorgeous iris on it is hand painted! I love how you’ve styled the tote with the beautiful bright yellow here. Those two colors are always a winning combo in my book! I look forward to seeing as well how the other participating bloggers style it! You’re definitely right – it is the “sisterhood of the traveling tote”! ;)
