Metallic Nights

Alice + Olivia Sequin Cardi, Joie Blouse, Rock and Republic Jeans, JCrew Jewelry, Forever 21 Booties, Alexander Wang Bag

I had been saving my coveted Alice + Olivia sequined "cardi" for a special occasion and it just so happened that an evening in New York was the perfect excuse. I wore this outfit (along with my big puffy jacket) out for drinks (champagne in my case) followed by dinner at L'Artusi in the West Village. Tucked away in what felt like an alley in Europe, this little neighborhood gem made for the perfect ending to our action packed day.

veronica said...

i am obsessed with your outfits, you always look so "cool J.Crew" im jealous (in a good way.) I adora that sequin jacket. I love sequins or overly embellished clothings but detest that people look at me like crazy when i wear them during the daytime. There's deff no style sense in miami [insert sad face here]

anyway I love your blog and happy late turkey day :)

Becca said...

ADORABLE.

Aww.
How do you put together such a perfect outfit?
