edged romantic


Dress/necklace/turquoise ring: Vintage. Heels: Prada (posted them before here).  Found a similar 70s vibe version in tan here with pics of them on here).Shawl: seen before here. (This is a close one). Bag: Vintage Coach (got mine on eBay). Army jkt: Zara. Nails: Topshop. Shades: Ray Ban

Doing a bit of 70s boho romance a few days back.   I experiment a ton on the blog. Everything's about the mood I'm in but this feels the most me. A bit rock. A bit vintage.  Always full circle back to those two words.

Thank you Grazia.it - click here for a feature with me wearing this look (you'll need Google Translate unless you speak Italian in which case you lucky b*stard -  I'm jealz). 

ps. I had my hair blown out that day at Pimps and Pinups in the Lower East Side.  I think I've found a # 2 go to spot when my usual place is busy. Super sweet and loads of advice. Thx guys : - )

pps. Who's watching the Royal Wedding on Friday? It's non stop talk on the TV in New York. I'll set my alarm...I hear it's a day off in England. I should be back home right now.

  31. who makes that nail polish?

    ReplyDelete

  32. Ah, the famed lower east side -- that place used to be one of my favorite haunts before grad school (well, during the week at least).

    I absolutely love your Prada shoes. I purchased my very first pair and am still in love. I love the blush pink sole. Even though they are crafted rather well, there's something amazing about the delicate color underneath.

  40. Hey Karen,

    Love the shawl, absolutely stunning. It works beautifully with the dress too. I've found a similar dress on Asos, also beige/tan with the drapey feel.

    Tomorrow is a holiday in the UK and so is Monday for bank holiday! 4 day weekend! Lucky bastards! Makes me miss England even more than usual.

  49. thehautepursuit - actually I LOVE the zara shoes you posted.

    Sing - love the description!

    Alicia - Topshop

    fara - actually yes because of the platform PLUS the toes aren't squeezed. Also the thick heel makes for less wobble factor.
