The Marc Jacobs velvet polka dot blazer was my first designer purchase. I tried to find it for months after Emma Watson wore it (in a different color) in Teen Vogue. I bought it for $80 (and a second one for $20 8 years later because I needed to go up a size. I still have the original in my closet for nostalgic reasons.)
My Alexander Wang Freja boots were a birthday gift from my parents in 2011 - meaning I told my mom I wanted them and she said 'order them for your birthday!' I do love a good statement shoe that never goes out of style. There are a few of these available on eBay (originally from his Spring 2010 collection) and some other sources but you have to be careful when looking for these because AW also made a cheaper version for the H&M collection which won't be as nice/high quality as these. I linked to only the "real" ones below but you can search for AW x H&M boots and find the other version.
Blazer: Marc by Marc Jacobs polka dot velvet jacket (eBay, green one here), V-Neck Tee: Everlane, Jeans: Free People (Marshalls), Peep-Toe Boots: Alexander Wang suede Freja boot in brick red (The Outnet), Bag: Dark Purple Chloé Faye (eBay, exact bag here), Necklace: Marrin Costello
Speaking of favorites - I wore this outfit on Monday to check out the recently renovated Luna Pizza in West Hartford. Before I went my Aunt told me it's one of her and my Uncle's favorite places to go for pizza. After going myself I can see why! I'm not normally a thin crust fan, but their pizzas are delicious. I wanted to keep eating all night!
While there I sampled their meatballs, garlic knots a baby spinach salad with strawberries and three pizzas! All the appetizers were delicious, especially the salad. Lydia, Jen and I tried the BBQ Pulled Pork, White and Margherita pizzas. They were all super good. The white pizza is just mozzarella, romano, garlic, parsley, and olive oil and it was amazing. The BBQ pulled pork had the perfect amount of sweetness from the BBQ sauce and the Margherita pizza was loaded with fresh tomatoes. I finished my meal with a delectable chocolate torte. It was very smooth and really chocolatey, just how I like it! I will definitely return to Luna Pizza if I'm ever in the area again.
What I ate:
I always love it when you wear those insanely awesome shoes - they remain such a great piece of footwear!

Oh what a nice idea to get to order the shoes as a birthday gift! When I went shopping with my mum and sister the other week to finish our Christmas shopping we did a similar thing - if someone liked something we would buy it for them there and then. Sometimes sneakily (my sister doesn't know one of the things I bought her!) sometimes a lot more visibly - I got to pick out a wallet at Coach I'd been wanting! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a nice weekend :) I think it will be a quiet one here as the kids have been a little unwell sadly!

So nice we had a day warm enough for bare toes and blazers! It's lovely when you've had pieces forever but still love them just as much as on day one.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
I absolutely love the shoes!
ReplyDeletethose are such cute boots! But my toes would freeze!
ReplyDeletehaha, luckily it was a warmer day so they were okay! But I totally add socks or tights when its really cold
DeleteYou look great! How amazing is it that we can use something from our closet that we loved 5 years ago- today? It's my favorite thing about fashion. Timeless pieces are just that, timeless!
ReplyDeleteYour outfits are always great and I love that you also wear old favorites instead of only buying new. I try to give my old closet staples just as much love as if they were new. And that Charlie Brown window painting behind you is darling!
ReplyDeleteMy wife would love that jacket. The shoes are very interesting. You look great.
ReplyDeleteSuperb my dear M, your pictures are only getting better.
ReplyDeleteThe pieces look pristine to me and i love the fact that nothing is new! Just great fitting, good quality items. HNY!
