Lifestyled by Paula Joye

This outfit comes with a soundtrack. Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi circa 1986). Look at my boots – six tiny degrees of separation from the ‘Living On A Prayer’ video clip. I love these Camilla & Marc pony skin booties – they add just the right amount of leopard. I like to go lean on READ MORE…

All black everything today because I love my new sunglasses. They needed to be the stars. Did an actual dance in the office when these Ray-Ban Blue Mirrored Aviators (they arrive at Sunglass Hut in February) landed on my desk.
