OBSESSION: SNAKESKIN PRINT

My “GO-TO” purse. It’s such a statement piece. Everywhere I go I get tons of compliments on it. I like the fact that it can be carried by the handle or by the strap and still hold it’s shape.

OBSESSION: JORDAN RETRO 11

They were made with the idea of tuxedos in mind, so they have a real flashiness element to them. Awesome on the court and stylish off of it - I have become obsessed with completing the search... but it's not easy and definitely not cheap.
