The Ladybug adds vintage stripes to handmade Monstera leaves!

The Ladybug Chronicles Monstera and Stripes (1)

Mixing colors and pattern, what an addiction! I am never tired of trying new mixes and to surprise myself with new color and pattern mixtures!

This is one of my hardest try of the year…a bit pushed I know, but I really loved how I put together this two beautiful pieces: handmade plant pattern culottes and a colored striped vintage shirt.

The linen culottes with Monstera leaves is one of my favorite pieces from Madame Ilary; I first saw the culottes on her and I asked to have a pair too with the lovely combined headscarf. They were so comfy and stylish that I wore them almost all summer. I say they “were” because, although they are still perfect on these pictures, there is a bad update about them: when I was in Senegal in November I got my hands washed with bleach before eating and I accidentally put my wet hands on my hips and…I destroyed my beautiful culottes! I was so sad but I couldn’t throw them away and I decided to keep them anyway even if they lost color in some parts.

The vintage shirt has lovely soft colors, from beige to pale blue and pink and I found it at the new Humana Vintage shop in Milan the day of its first opening! (This one is still in good conditions!)

Gladiator sandals are from Clarks while golden hoop earrings are from Gogo Philip.
