One of the things I love most about blogging is the photography part of it. So when the amazingly talented Cody Bess contacted me to work with him on an upcoming project, I was more than thrilled. His photography is so imaginative and alluring, which is why I am a big fan. Check out some of his work here. I will tell you more about our project as it unfolds, but it the meantime, here is a quick street style shoot he did of me. My style is not normally THIS over the top, but it had to be for the street we were shooting on! (Montrose in Houston)
Do you recognize this food truck anyone? The food is great, but it also served as a great backdrop. Thanks Eatsie Boys!
How fun is this Noble House designs necklace? It’s kind of tribal meets funky.

Sandra on April 28, 2012 at 2:50 am:You look so classy Layla! And I love the necklaces you added! As for the socks I don’t know if I’d have the courage to use them like that but when I say such things I usually end up eating my own words, sooner or later! Aha
I loved it!
