lace arm flares

Fedora: Trash and Vaudeville. Bag: Foley and Corinna (vintage). Shoes: Topshop. Dress: Diane von Furstenberg. Gold/coral ring: YSL. White ring: New Orleans. Long bead necklace: Random NY shop
Wore this recently after scoring it at a consignment shop in the East Village. It's by DVF. No way I would've been able to afford it full price. Next time I'll wear it with loads of necklaces and flat thong leather sandals.
Everything else you know already.
As you can see on my feet: "Ta Dar" (Karen says hands out stretched). I got the brown shoes and ermmm the black ones are still with me too. There's another version just stocked here in a dusty pink colour too.

  3. Those shoes!! Topshop is just killing it with their shoes.

    If I saw that dress on a hanger I probably wouldn't think much of it until I tried it on. Awesome find!

  23. elle est magnifique cette robe

  24. Oh God. Should've known you'd get both! xD
    I'd still recommend having a pair so shoes that you don't have in an everyday color. Butttt, I bet a penny (cause I'm b r o k e)that you'll end up buying another pair, non?

    Okay, well! I love that dress. Reminds me of one that my mom got handstitched in Ghana. Except hers is blue. Be careful with that dress! Guard it with your life. It is .. (dundundun) white! As if that's not obvious enough. But the outfit is amazing, and I really love the rings you got the the Erykah Badu guy. Shit, I forgot his name.

    My current dream is to meet you! Just cause you're not that far from me. I mean, how far can you get in NYC. And you go to all my haunts. *sigh*

  73. Oh WOW - I think that has to be the PERFECT white dress! And of course it looks sensational on you :-) Also loving the nail polish. BTW, I'm the girl who won the cross ring a while back ... SO sorry I haven't left a comment to say thank you earlier, I haven't been online much as my brother managed to BLOW UP our computer - I swear, I wish I were making this up! Luckily he's still alive and we've just got the computer back haha. Anyway, I LOVE the ring and thank you SO MUCH for the other ring - they both fit perfectly and I have had SO many comments on them both :-) Thank you again!! xxxxxxxxxx
