Alice + Olivia Spring 2011

Edited by Nicole Vardo

This night was totally bizarre I can’t even describe it in two words. An amazing performance by The Pierces,  a little Denise Richards, AJ Mukumal, fashion socialites like Miss Becka Diamond, I think some True Blood babes were there as well, and of course everyone in between I’d love to mention but simply can’t remember. There were bizarre Hypnotique blue and pink drinks, and an over flow of Altoid mints…The most mind blowing part of the night though was the 2011 collection. All the models were a different kind of beautiful, coral lips, gingers and blondes… it was almost some sort of wild, and here are my photos to prove it… and just for the record everyone better follow the insane metallic gold A + O trend!

With uses of buckles, studs, ribbons and more, the two collections work together in a perfect harmony. Throw on these pumps and you won’t regret it!
