NEW IN MY CLOSET: JASON WU X MELISSA SHOES

These are my new babies! A couple of days ago one of my best friends Sawsen surprised me with this gift saying "I couldn't resist buying them, they are so you!" I had no idea what was inside but who am I to not squeal at a new pair of shoes? So a few "OMG you're the best" and/or squeals later, I saw the OWLS.... and I died! Cuteness!

CAMPAIGN: LONGCHAMP OH! MY DOG

The campaign also plays on the brand's new concept of creative movement, conveyed through dance.
