Summer in The City: Embellished Street

Free People Dress // Comme Ça Ism Bomber // Superga Sneakers // Chanel Mini Caviar Flap

In my last Summer in The City look I decided to take a formal dress (this one I actually wore to a high school homecoming dance) and make it hypercool for a night out in Chelsea.

Just add a jacket and tennis shoes and any look is turned street. The particular interest here is the heavy beaded dress and gold accents with accessories; then juxtaposing it with a casual linen bomber and beat-up Supergas. 

Sorry all of my posts have been summer related, but I'm officially out of archives and pre-shot looks. Now I must create new and relevant content, so stay tuned for fall posts. 

Have a great week xx

I took on the western trend full force today. This autumn I noticed I've worn a ton of menswear inspired looks, but today I just felt like dressing like a girl. Well, to an extent... a skirt is girly enough for me so I can throw on a bomber jacket like this Isabel Marant pour H&M one. Yes, it is a children's jacket and was a hell-of-a-lot cheaper than any of the women's clothes.

I don't venture into the children's department a lot (mostly because of awful memories as a pre-teen being force to still shop in the children's department), but I forgot how much cheaper and more convenient it is. Maybe I try it more often.

Am I the only one who's confused on how this is a western look, yet I feel o-so-french in it? I'll just credit that to Isabel.

Outfit Details:

Jacket- Isabel Marant pour H&M

Sweater- Michael Kors

Skirt- Lohman's  (designer unknown)

Decided to add a little music to add to the mood/feeling of the outfit. Or at least it's what I think goes with it. Let me know what you think.
