OOTD: Casual + Cute Outfit with Boyfriend Jeans + Vintage Chanel Trunk Show

Last weekend, I stopped by  Koko & Palenki at the Village of Merrick Park, for a few moments of vintage luxury.  They were hosting a vintage Chanel trunk show put on by Vintage Wonderland.
There were gold bangles and cuffs, an amazing and rare blue beauty, lucite rings, mother of pearl cuff links, and bold earrings.  I wore a casual, easy outfit which was based around my new obsession: my relaxed fit, boyfriend jeans by Juicy.

 

Vintage Wonderland is the product of the meeting of the minds of two fashionable ladies, Jade Furtado and Kody Pangburn.  They sell vintage treasures and seamlessly incorporate their vintage finds into this current season's styles.  They guarantee the authenticity of every item they sell, and they have the knowledgebase to be able to do so. They're a wholesale business that caters to boutiques but they also do private personal shopping, so you can essentially have hand picked vintage finds that really mesh with your own, personal style aesthetic.

 I want in! 

I met Jade at the trunk show and she has serious cool-girl style; you can tell that she's got a killer eye, so you'll get the best choices on your vintage hunt.

Miami Fashion Bloggers Go Vintage

I had the opportunity to get my hair and makeup done by the (now known to you) Brandi Henderson and Marianne Shows (as seen in this post) at Miami blogger event, where I also got to play dress up in a closet full of fab vintage clothes and hang with great girls.  I went with Nathy of the blog Earnest Style, one of the sweetest Miami bloggers I've met.  The fashionable and sweet Juliana and Ginger were also there to share in the fun.
Check out the pictures below:

Back to Basics: How to Wear a Turtleneck

I love basics! You know, those closet staples that always make every stylists' must-have list? A crisp white button down, a basic black patent work pump, a nude colored trench, etc.  But  a downside to basics is that they can be a bit boring, a little on the uninspired side.  So,  why not add some flair to a dull outfit?   For this look, I started with a camel colored turtleneck.  I consider a great turtleneck a basic that every girl should have in her closet. 

As always, accessorizing is a key featuring of how I pull together my outfits.

How to wear a turtle neck sweater? By pairing it with a bold statement necklace, cinching the waist with a skinny belt, and layering an unexpected color underneath. 

You guys have seen this necklace from The Limited a lot lately (similar here), so I should remember to take it off, but I've even slept in it I love it so much!  The skinny belt is a no-name brand belt that probably came attached to a dress at some point.  Don't forge to roll up your skinny jeans to complete this casual look.
