I love how Zucca can take such a basic wardrobe staple like the striped tank and elevate it into a statement piece.

These shoes are made from one piece of leather, that has been cut and folded into a shoe.

It's not a bracelet..! It's the mini lace ring by ginette_ny. I think "dainty" is the right word for this
