Veronica Beard ♡ La Ligne

"I’m incredibly grateful to be invited into Meredith and Valerie’s vintage closet to pair a piece from the current La Ligne collection, the Eloise top, back to some vintage and Veronica Beard pieces. I was inspired by all of the animal prints and textures. I decided to layer all of the animal prints together, including the accessories! The brocade cape was perfect, tying back to the orange tiger-print top and vintage-inspired VB jeans.

"The statement drop earrings play off the linear pattern while the leopard belt, worn high to cinch the top, offers some fun contrast. For makeup, I opted for a cat-eye, with a slight fluorescent orange flick at the end. I love that it nodded to the feline theme of the print, and also to 'la ligne!' I kept the hair and lipstick simple to pop the eye.

"My approach to building a look is to create supporting players (in this case, all of the animal prints) and add a pop (here, the eyeliner). It's about the whole picture, the whole image. And, of course, there’s my golden rule: Have fun with it!" — Veronica Miele Beard
