But, and call me crazy here, but I think the black and white color combo, actually makes this floral very wearable. To tone down this look a bit, I kept the rest of the outfit achromatic by adding black and white platforms and my go-to-black-bag for every occasion ( I am sure you are sick of seeing my Boy, but I love him and cannot bear to be without him ). Finally, I just couldn't resist the urge to introduce a little color to this look and since bright nails seemed like the right way to go, I painted my digits in the brightest, prettiest teal ever, or as I like to call it, the best nail color butter LONDON ever created!<br /><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAgAUdjSNaF7Uzs0g2OkkwpPA9yBijxxQx9rDooLDbByuzA_pJ64D3I314OUZ8CEB7JVxmO4PWqd3lQqKVicgnxLTd1O2h5sDzsU-2Dtp-H3ZBpSvGQMVGRmMHNoQZiaFByrhGogJ5lsM/s1600/vivaluxury-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAgAUdjSNaF7Uzs0g2OkkwpPA9yBijxxQx9rDooLDbByuzA_pJ64D3I314OUZ8CEB7JVxmO4PWqd3lQqKVicgnxLTd1O2h5sDzsU-2Dtp-H3ZBpSvGQMVGRmMHNoQZiaFByrhGogJ5lsM/s1600/vivaluxury-5.jpg" /></a></i></div><a name="more"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh965oxfMEwl5zkbIrOMCuI0OWvPd1bsJeBC-ikq58KPv1Gcb0j_yLgcTUx8ZxJLEry-tvrS6H1PtvSkfiVBf1raiYrs4fDHAPnQpSj8Y12PTZdeRBSOL58_h7mBJwCgSwSVrUWrhyDppg/s1600/vivaluxury-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh965oxfMEwl5zkbIrOMCuI0OWvPd1bsJeBC-ikq58KPv1Gcb0j_yLgcTUx8ZxJLEry-tvrS6H1PtvSkfiVBf1raiYrs4fDHAPnQpSj8Y12PTZdeRBSOL58_h7mBJwCgSwSVrUWrhyDppg/s1600/vivaluxury-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcVL5g2riS-IfLBIy3ybKRXsIx_Sp4RtpTsJkm4vsIKDqyJilsUcEk4Z5-1s9TVc3IcwzjfjRzg-rb0NhNvSo8cLbH1Bi1OzE3-P4jB62lA7e06UU6F6JeaC6CUWzNo__Qby8Q-FzUrDA/s1600/vivaluxury-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcVL5g2riS-IfLBIy3ybKRXsIx_Sp4RtpTsJkm4vsIKDqyJilsUcEk4Z5-1s9TVc3IcwzjfjRzg-rb0NhNvSo8cLbH1Bi1OzE3-P4jB62lA7e06UU6F6JeaC6CUWzNo__Qby8Q-FzUrDA/s1600/vivaluxury-6.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLywAM0zC2OuGYxZgcLFImVrGDN185VvrewXGKDg3WdLv_CPXt7BbgXxjEb655jyWH6rQAaNoT7jN80IamuHZQTL5R8w2uuKYHJJIaHCbOLhuqNlkkI1PH6M3DMk4T5oo0MJ-Zvino6A8/s1600/vivaluxury-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLywAM0zC2OuGYxZgcLFImVrGDN185VvrewXGKDg3WdLv_CPXt7BbgXxjEb655jyWH6rQAaNoT7jN80IamuHZQTL5R8w2uuKYHJJIaHCbOLhuqNlkkI1PH6M3DMk4T5oo0MJ-Zvino6A8/s1600/vivaluxury-4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN2TjyoX_XfIcWkigeqy23XlLiNMnYDilm5zuaoU-8_KWl44MKkYILIQyUcNZOGmOgcvGhQf36PqUJuTNUL87S7GGiDUPDIihKI23mD__Bx3qZ2HzN9hWU56Kw6fPsD10kMYbTAtYrX7A/s1600/vivaluxury.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN2TjyoX_XfIcWkigeqy23XlLiNMnYDilm5zuaoU-8_KWl44MKkYILIQyUcNZOGmOgcvGhQf36PqUJuTNUL87S7GGiDUPDIihKI23mD__Bx3qZ2HzN9hWU56Kw6fPsD10kMYbTAtYrX7A/s1600/vivaluxury.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rebecca Taylor <i>Splashy Flower <b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/xyyshcmm" target="_blank">culotte</a></b> & <b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/xyythcmm" target="_blank">top</a></b> | </i><span style="text-align: justify;">Chanel </span><i style="text-align: justify;">Boy flap <b><a href="http://bit.ly/1a6oTA7" target="_blank">bag</a> </b>in perforated leather | </i><span style="text-align: justify;">Stella McCartney</span><i style="text-align: justify;"> black Britt <b><a href="http://bit.ly/17XxKGO" target="_blank">shoes</a></b> | </i>DVF<i> Haley studded <b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/wvx64cmm" target="_blank">sunglasses</a></b> | </i>Eddie Borgo<i> cone earrings { in silver <b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/smp8ncmm" target="_blank">here</a></b> } | </i>butter LONDON<i> <b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/xyy7dcmm" target="_blank">nail polish</a></b> in Slapper </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Thank you for reading</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>& Keep On Smiling,</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>LOVE,</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Annabelle </i></div>

My perfect pair is well-worn, whiskered and perfectly shredded. To achieve this look, I used a cutting board and an X-Acto knife. Sliding a cutting board inside the leg of the jeans is a great way to prevent slashing the other side and/or prevent any damage to the surface you are working on! Once I decided on the rip placements, I used an X-acto knife to create a few slashed clusters. I started slashing horizontally and made sure to create rips in varying length and depth for better texture. Finally, I threw the jeans into a dryer for about 20 minutes to reveal the treads and get that perfectly shredded look.</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="text-align: justify;"><br /></i></div><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><i><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; text-align: left;"><i style="background-color: transparent; text-align: justify;"><i><i><i><i><i><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/VivaLuxury-Style-Blog/191566214200570?ref=tn_tnmn">FACEBOOK</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/vivaluxury">TWITTER</a> |<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/2336271/vivaluxury"> BLOGLOVIN</a></span></b></span></i></i></i>  </i></i></i></i></b></span></i></i></i></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Keep on smiling,</i></div><div><i>Love,</i></div><div><i>Annabelle</i></div></div>
