Handmade out of recycled materials this DIY project is fun and super easy to make.

Awakening

I styled a new black and white story featuring AM from Muse and used a vintage sequin dress from the 1980's and a dress from Line & Dot. AM is from Thailand and incredibly sweet and graceful.  The story just got published in Kenton Magazine.
