♥ favorite outfit friday.

happy friday, my darling doves!

this week, i would like to share a few of my favorite outfits which

masterfully mix the tough and rough with the soft, the leather with the lace,

and all the while celebrate the youthful spirit that lies in

all of us grown up children.

first, i have to say that i absolutely adore this photograph from

taylor of sterling style. not only for the playfulness of the composition,

but also for the way that her pretty pink tutu adds a touch of femininity

to an otherwise edgy look. bravo!

secondly, for a while now, i have been quite taken with this perfectly

captured moment snapped by the boston sartorialist,

martini of beyond boston chic.

i am smitten with this young lady's tutu + striped shirt getup

as well as her mother's relaxed, sienna miller–esque ensemble.

i aspire to look that casual and cool some day...

(but i always prefer to look glamorous!)

lastly, i totally love diya's looks from her style blog, in her stilettos.

in almost all of her pictures, she rocks these itsy bitsy skirts

and girly dresses with chain necklaces, studded bags and

spiky rings and lots of smokey black eye makeup.

fabulous juxtaposition!
