Elizabeth’s story of hunting down her must have pair of Prada pumps, waiting, stressing, until they’re as affordable as possible and then just nabbing the last pair, is one of those priceless moments that we love to share on this site. Even better is how skillfully she pairs the shoes with sweatshirts turned upside down, making them reminiscient of Rick Owens as well as T shirts that are shredded as meticulously as Margiela. Elizabeth’s aesthetic of high fashion always accentuated with with an “element of trash”, made my heart race when I first saw her. I am mesmerized by her innate talent . She has always pushed the boundaries, daring to dress like a page from French Vogue while growing up in Amarillo, Texas. Elizabeth’s boldness legitimizes our message that style is a true art form.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER STYLE!!! Definitely one of my favorites to date. I really like her safety pin shirt and her DIY two toned rip dress very striking pieces.

absolutely amazing. I’m obsessed with the rib cage thingy and the shakespearian-esq collar worn with the two tone dress.
She’s very very well spoken – like a little angel.
