New Theme Song



Top & Shorts- Thrifted, Fedora- Forever 21, Shoes- Nine West, Bag- Gift

So I didn't even know that the song from Pineapple Express was by M.I.A. until like yesterday. "Paper Planes" is basically my new theme song because its crazy eccentric and I love the video. I'm going thrifting tomorrow and the place I go to has a large selection of blazers. I don't know but if you are interested in a certain type/color/texture/size blazer, send me an email. I'm thinking about buying some extra blazers and selling them for a fixed $10 + shipping on Esty. I'll only be able to do this once in a while. And now I'm going to leave you guys with the Balenciaga resort collection. Its full of glamor and badassness (made the word up). I wonder if I can stud up a blazer like that one below. I'd go for more fitted though.

Edit- The lovely Raya from You're So Fetch just made me the happiest blogger with her sweet words. Thanks so much!

"1} Hand It Over : As much as I love florals and everything girly I just can not pull it off, that it why I spend my days drooling over her girlish ensembles and knee high socks. she also finds some of the coolest vintage stuff and if you are lucky you may even catch a glimpse of her spacial friends Stwart."

I've heard of this song but I've never heard it... May need to listen to it one of these days.

Also, I am searching for a navy blazer, and if it had gold buttons it would be PERFECT. I think I'm a size small. IF YOU CAN FIND ONE AHH, I'D LOVE TO BUY IT!

Ida said...

Gorgeous outfit, especially with the hat and the bag. I am always stunned by the easiness of your chicness.

Hanna said...

I love how the Balenciaga Resort collection is not the usual frilly-type one - the lines are harsh and it looks very individual.

Nice outfit, as always. You always have such great shoes!

She's Dressing Up said...

I love the hat and the cut-offs! Paper Planes is deffo my song of the summer!

Great look! Yes, that song rocks! I still need to get out and see that movie though, I've been too busy! Congrats on the shout out and I'll have to check out what you have on etsy. I love blazers, but I don't really have anything particular in mind that I love about them.

terren said...

hi hello. i would loooove a blazer - navy and or black in a medium ish size / a 6 i guess and also would you like to divulge the location of this wonderful store? haha, your outfit's super cute.

Boulevard de Clichy said...

You look great! I tagged you btw (:

Dapper Kid said...

Looove the shoes and the hat!! And thank you so much for the comment :)

Hannah said...

Definitely a great idea with the blazer buying/selling. I wish we had thrift stores like Goodwill over here in the UK, sometimes car boots and charity shops just don't cut it!

xAx said...

Another person with a great hat, uh, i have to find one. Great outfit too, i love that dress from your last post, you're so adorable!

♥ fashion chalet said...

1) Thanks for your comment, darling! ♥
2) I agree with Raya as well, you pull of florals and kneesocks, beautifully!!
3) I have loved MIA for a long time now, isn't Paper Planes great? Really revs me up during my aerobics "work outs." ;)

Hannah Cheeto said...

I would love it if you did that with the blazers.

Tiffany said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog! you are darling. Love the hat on you.

If you do end up studding a blazer, I will be impressed, you will have to show us!

Arabelle said...

Katia said...

Gah! I love your outfit, the hat looks so good on you =]
OUh, I love the studded blazer, I'm sure you'll be able to customise one up!

AsianCajuns said...

I really love M.I.A. music and I find her style (and your's, of course!) inspiring.
And Balmain! Man, this post is everything I love ;)
