YOUR DIGITAL STYLIST AND NEW BFF
STAY IN THE KNOW. YA KNOW?
FROM MALIBU 2 PARIS, WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED
I have a small confession to make: I basically only recently discovered the wonderful shopping place, which is eBay. I’ve really only bought jewelry there because it was never my go-to place to find the best vintage pieces. But how ignorant of me, because it is quite literally the best place to find vintage pieces. So after making this new discovery and opening myself up to an entire new shopping world (which was land my credit card did not need to discover), I’ve added so much to my cart that I might as well be a hoarder. But who knew there were so many great Chanel sunglasses!!! So, rather than promising my firstborn child to the bank, I thought I’d share my uncovered treasures with the world on my online fashion girls. My favorite group of people. Fashion is fun, as is online shopping, and I find it quite inspiring. I mean, I am writing a whole article about what’s in my shopping cart, so yeah.
On that note, all roads lead to Prada…
This dark denim Chanel kitten heel is climbing to the top of my shoe purchase list. I’d love to style it with some super long trousers or a white slip mini dress and let the legs (and shoes) do the talking. It feels like a great all-year-round shoe too; I’m thinking a white cable knit in the fall, a fur coat in the winter, a maxi dress in the spring, and a mini dress in the summer!
I’ve recently been obsessed with vintage denim and paying for that worn-in, washed-out look, and these are one of the two pairs of jeans that haven’t left my mind. They are men’s Levi’s 501s, and I love when those words come together. It gives you that oversized boxy cut while still being a great pair of jeans. You will definitely have everyone in your ear asking where these are from.
Ok, sexy chic! This, with a strappy heel, statement earring, and a slouchy clutch, and boom, your date night look is done. It’s lined too, which is nice because sometimes I don’t want to walk into Balthazar with my underwear showing (I said sometimes). Since it’s lined, you can also make a great solo daytime look out of it. Throw on some black sunglasses, sit outside at a cafe, and watch everyone catch a glimpse of you because your body be looking BANGING.
I’ve been obsesed with white baby doll meets milkmaid dress. Very 60s and 70s. The craving started when my friend last minute invited me to go her sorority’s party with her and the dress code was “white dress.” My mind immedieatly went to that photo of Isabel Lucas where she was wearing a white bell sleeve mini dress in an airport. Anyways, this dress with some repetto ballet flats or knee high black boots, and mwah. Oh and Balenciaga pony hair motorcycle bag circa 2006 ish. Oh my god if I saw you on the street I’d immediately make you be my best friend.
Love a set, love a vintage Prada set. If I purchased this I’d be wearing it to every event I have in the forseeable future. It’s 100% silk so you know it just falls beautifully on the body. And I’m obsessed with the kneckline and sleeve length of the top. If you buy this please send me a photo of you wearing it at your dinner party with a glass of champange in your hand. I’ll die.
I thought these shoes were different than my usual style that I reach too, and I’m having a lot of fun with it. The heel reminds me of the foot of a couch and I’m like, yeah obviously that makes so much sense why aren’t all shoes inspired by furtniture? These with some blue jeans, and tight bodysuit tank top (or a flowly white cotton blouse), and some super blinged out gold hoops. And maybe a super chunky statement ring or a big bangle on your writst. Love!
I am an absolute sucker for a leather jacket. I own way to many and I’ve been collecting them since I was 15. So, I have years worth of vintage leather jackets hanging in my hometown bedroom closet. Although I did take like half with me when I moved and I think about the other half sitting in my closet daily. But I digress. This is a vintage Calvin Klein and that collar is something I have not been able to find on a leather jacket. It’s so so so so good, just the ultimate cool girl vibes. Plus it’s a mens jacket and you know how I believe in men’s jacket supremacy.
Love a slinky mini dress. This one is the perfect shade for fall (if you live somewhere hot) when the weather is starting to get crisper but a jacket with pants is too hot and a dress on its own is too cold. But a 90s brown slinky with an oversized jacket is perfect. I love 90s fashion and this dress just screams 90s Calvin Klein to me.
This vintage Chanel knit top, styled with the jeans pictured in No. 13, and the blazer in No. 10. I might need to buy this look for an off duty fashion week look. And I would style it with either a square toed black boot or kitten heeled mules (toes out preferably, and with black nail polish if need be).
I’ve been keeping my eyes open for an oversized blazer that has a mix of Chanel tweed and grandpa plaid, and this vintage Isabel Marant blazer is the perfect combo. Styled exactly how I described above.
I’m a big fan of using your bag to bring in a pop of color to your outfit. And I’m a huge fan of a pop of red. Or more than a pop. More like a splash. Wait, is that less that a pop? I’m thinking someone is holding a red paint bucket and they splash it on you. That would be a lot more red than a pop. Either way, this bag is cute.
To me, this oversized pulloever is very Courtney Grow. So in honor of her, I’d style it with some form fitting 501s, and either the Row flip flops or some jellies. But in my version, I’d wear it over a Cou Cou Intimates white mini dress and black ballet flats.
Please refer to section title “No. 9” for styling advice. It’s a whole look. However, I might also switch out the Chanel knit top for the Prada single stitch tee you see in No. 14. Keep the Isabel Marant Blazer, but opt for a penny loafer on your foot. Ugh, I don’t know which look I like more!
And on that note, love this Prada t-shirt. Jeans and penny loafers, or black slip silk maxi skirt and oversized blazer or leather jacket. Or both. It’s a day to night piece, if you will. And I would.
These were one of the pairs of the vintage Chanel sunglasses I was referring too in my opening paragraph. Wow, we’ve come so far! And i’ve probably typed out the word “vintage” way more than is consider acceptable. I think we should have sunglasses in every shape and every size, so if you don’t have a pair like these, now is your chance. I also think a pair of designer sunglasses is a great birthdayy gift. It shows you put thought and effort, and it’s very stylish without having to guess someones size or preffered fit. And these come with a cute case so you can wrap ‘em up nice and pretty.
My love for this dress comes from the same place my love for the dress in No. 4 came from. When I’m shopping for baby doll dresses, I ask myself, “would Rosemary wear this?” (I’m refering to Rosemary’s Baby in case you aren’t well reversed in horror movies or pixie cut icons). And I think she would approve of this. And if not her, then maybe Bella Hadid in her cowboy grass loving era.
I can’t believe we have reached the end. What a beautiful journey we went on together. I hope you have some new outfit ideas or maybe some my styling gave your inspiration on an outfit you can pull together in your own closet. Or maybe I gave you an excuse to pull out your credit card and get that dopamine hit. Love you either way! Stay tuned for more rambles xxx
