Rough Around the Edge

Alice + Olivia Jacket, Current Elliot Jeans, H&M Tee, Vintage Boots, Tory Burch Bag, Norma Kamali Sunglasses

The leather detailing of this Alice and Olivia jacket paired with my distressed jeans and green finger nail polish made me feel extra edgy today. I wore this ensemble to General Bead which was quite the experience (located in a back alley of the tenderloin) and out to a late brunch / shopping date with my sister. Sister dates are the best.

sister dates ARE the best. Especially loving your blazer and green nail polish! Kelly Ripa was wearing something very similar last week! Hope you had a great weekend :)

I'm LOVING the jacket and the shades! This whole look is so chic. :)

Molly said...

Are you wearing Essie's "Pretty Edgy" green polish to go with your edgy attire?!?! I had it on a few weeks ago and looooved it... it really does add a little something extra to have an unexpected nail color ;)

Alicia said...

@Molly - no this is actually OPI "Jade is The New Black" - rather fitting :) but I will have to check out that essie color.

Kastles said...

This is more edgy than I normally see you on here, and I am liking it! :) Love the green nailpolish! Can't wait to see you what you make with your beads and trinkets :) Hope you had a great weekend!

This jacket is amazing as are your sunnies. Have you ever had breakfast at Dotti's True Blue Cafe in the tenderloin? If not, it's the best.

El said...

Matt and I LOVE Dotti's! Amazing jacket :)

@Sarah @El - I've never been to Dotti's ...mainly because it is in the tenderloin but also it seems to be more of a tourist spot (sorry El) ;)

Caitlin said...

sister dates are totally the best! i'm so impressed with your ability to shop in those fab heeled boots!

Cara-Mia said...

Gorgeous. Digging those sunnies! :)
