I recently found a couple of darling black and white dresses, both heavily influenced by vintage styles, both from relatively under-blogged stores and oddly enough, I wore my hair in braids with both of them, though totally by accident. What was not an accident was my choice of shoes – the hottest shoes ever, ever, evah! But first, here’s a lovely black and white pop print from Lost Dreams with the useful and descriptive name Retro Dress.

This dress also has a pop print though the shape is a good decade older. It’s name is Delana Kisses, an unhelpful name unles you think those teardrop shapes remind you of Hershey’s Kisses or something. This is from ROC.

These are Baiastice Querelle shoes in Black. Seriously, is there any other contender for hottest?

Eek,, these shoes are so HAWT my screen in melting.

The big loose chunky braid is from IrEn and includes the hat. The skin is one of Beck’s Shiloh skins from Exodi.

This braid is Exile’s Ciara – a nice tight braid that’s coming apart with little wisps. The skin is Chai – Double Shot and looks just yummy.
