Soft Edgy Editorials

The Block's Sweet Caroline Photoshoot Stars Caroline Winberg

Just because this spring and summer season has taken a rather soft turn with regards to fashion doesn't mean you have to necessarily give up your tough-chic side; just follow the example set out by the Sweet Caroline editorial. If you decide to don a softer silhouette, simply accessorize it for an edgier look. You can even give your face some fierceness with some strategic pencil strokes.

Photographed by David Roemer, the Sweet Caroline photoshoot was captured for The Block magazine. Appearing in its spring and summer issue, Sweet Caroline stars Caroline Winberg (hence its name). Winberg beautifully shows off gauzy materials and flowing fabrics bound by leather harnesses and other sharp, tailored accessories. Overall, the shoot is clean and elegant.
