black silhouettes

11.22.2009






Elizabeth + James blazer, American Apparel dress, vintage wool hat, Chloe boots. Lorraine Pennington ring.

There are some major perks to having a boyfriend who works at Intermix - eg: this amazing, sharp blazer that he randomly bought for me. I know - what a catch. I've been craving more hats in my closet and was freakishly giddy when I came across this one. Things that spark up any outfit just get me.

Visited Fourth street in Long Beach today and passed a sign that said "pile sale going on now". A little history: every time I'm in the area, I admirably stare at the back lot of La Bomba wishing that it was the 3rd weekend of the month, but with my luck, it never is. What is it, is a huge, disgusting stockpile of vintage clothes for a ballpark price of $2 per item. Of course, I immediately climbed to the very top - no mercy - and started digging. I left with some pretty sweet items and (probably) hepatitis A-Z.

PS: RIP Daul.

Indeed, you are lucky to have a boyfriend who works for Intermix...however, it is your styling / mixing that really makes it. Amazing, as usualy. I love the all black with just a bit of blue accent.

Happy Thanksgiving! =D

pink horrorshow said...

I like that you didn't just make it a typical "tough, edgy" outfit with the black tight dress with ankle boots by adding the hat. It turns everything into a chic retro style and it looks great! Very Lou Doillon :)

Ji said...

Sexy outfit! And interesting shoes! :)

Nathalie said...
