Boa-skin vest with inlaid star, designed by Willy, Ibiza. Probably available in England soon. Vest costs 4,980 pesetas, island shoes 80 pesetas.

More impact-making ideas from the romantic island of Ibiza.

The designer of the boa-skin vest in the first picture is also the stunning model for this gorgeous mini editorial, Willy van Rooy. You can still buy her beautiful designs on her website http://www.shopwillyvanrooy.com/.

(If her face looks a bit familiar, it might be because she’s also the model for my mannequin over at Liz Eggleston Vintage.)
