chai tea latte with soy

Fur jacket, Men's Frye boots, Beaded Cardi: Vintage. Winter leggings: American Apparel. Dress: Vintage from Foley & Corinna. Bag: Forever 21. Shades: Ray Ban. Hat: H&M. Gloves: Street vendor. Scarf: (not seen) Vintage/Thrift. Nail Polish: Pixel Pretty by Sally Hansen.
Amazing the stuff you find when you go shopping in your own wardrobe. I fell in love with this 'Carrie inspired' 50s dress with full under skirt the moment I tried it on in the vintage section at Foley and Corinna and found it while sorting out my stuff at home.
To keep it year round, I wore it over thermals and a couple of thin layers, including a black polo neck and the old Fryes. The beaded cardi peaking out under the jacket is a recent vintage find (per my twitter messages last week).
ps. This is my fave drink at Starbucks. What's yours? I don't like their coffee so I'm pretty limited I think.

  7. I am so picky when it comes to coffee. I have the no foam, lite whip caramel macchiato @ Starbucks almost every morning. It's more a treat than your average cup of joe. Love your look everyday!

  17. I'm with you. Soy chai latte is my all time fav. Actually I don't like most of their coffees either therefore I stick to my chai.

    Love that dress. I've been looking for something similar for a while now but haven't found anything that I like.

  25. Love the Frye boots. You can pull them off with anything!

    My fav drink at Starbucks must be toffee nut latte. It's one outta three christmas specials here in Germany. Don't know if you got them in the States. If not, you're really missing something :)

  33. loves it!

    i recently 'gave up' starbucks on the regular to save the cash for something i love more than coffee...clothes! haha so i go maybe once a week now, but when i do go, i always order the same thing: no foam, skinny vanilla latte. the stupid starbucks down the street from me pretty much never fails to burn the espresso.

    love your blog!

    Is that bag with DIY studding as well? I can't believe it's from forever21! It's so gucci/balenciaga.

  35. Grunge with a hint of 80's in that sequin trophy jacket, you look so carefree.

    Grande skim chai. I'm off to get one now.

  50. My favourite pic has got to be #5, the back shot of you walking with the skirt swishing! In my opinion you're the best in rockin' vintage dresses... Even I can't pull em off as well as you do!

    Great dress + great boots + great jacket + great bag -- Enough to keep a girl warm and cozy in winter.. even without a man by her side :)
