Jacket? Might have to keep it from my shop;) Leather pants? Vince Cuffs? Unikati (c/o here
Earrings? Bebe (yay! finally found really similar ones on Etsy!) Shoes? Aldo 
Clutch? Vintage (Similar here on Etsy) Glasses? duckworth by WP (here


In case you are judging my ability to edit myself, I will have you know that I was originally also wearing a gold necklace but I decided perhaps that was 'too much'...
And that clutch? My new favourite thing. I went on a vintage appointment last week and I got three of these and they just made my day. This magazine style of clutch originated in Italy in the 70's when women used to carry them to fool potential purse snatchers. The clutch really looks authentic, down the the fake layer of pages near the clasp. My sister-in-law wondered why I brought a magazine to a family dinner... 
For the quizzes, duh...

Two of the clutches I have are fashion magazines and one is a French tabloid. I will be selling one or two of them eventually, I just need to translate the juicy tabloid headlines first. I knew taking French until Grade 12 would come in handy one day...

  1. This outfit is so darn cool! You look like a blonde Jenna Lyons! And I don't think you've got too much gold there - though a necklace might juuust have tipped the scales! ;)

    I'm curious about those clutches, they look awesome but are they sealed at the sides or does your stuff just... fall out?

  3. That jacket is fantastic. I don't know how you could part with it! Perhaps just the knowledge that someone else is sure to love it?
