Classic Lines




Kimberly Taylor Tuxedo Jacket. Cropped and structured with Purple piping down the back as well as in the lining. ENTER: FASHIONCHALET at Checkout for a special 10% OFF discount. Expires June 10th.





Wren Tee. American Apparel Interlock Mini Skirt. Love Label heels. Noir Panther ring. Forever 21 coin necklace.



I've been reading a lot of new books lately like The Witches by Roald Dahl and Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I love books. Matilda by Dahl and The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein were some of my firsts as a kid. Every once in a while I like to channel my inner "child" and do "kid" things like reading Mrs. Piggle Wiggle or running through the sprinklers with a popsicle in my mouth.



I also rented Where The Wild Things Are and watched it last night. I want to hear your thoughts. I will say I expected more... just a little bit.

That purple is so funky fresh! Love it!
Your accessories are perfect...Haven't seen Where the Wild Things Are, but my daughter loves the book. I was having a hard time figuring out how they would make such a short book with little to no plot into a movie??

Lainey said...

Really loving the skirt and the shoes! Great pics as always.

Karen said...

the 6th pic of you leaning forward is stunning.

and thanks about the curly hair. Makes a change.

I'm sure it'll be straight again next week lol!

Delmy said...

Oh Erica...I love your shoes!! I want them! I believe we wear the same size haha.

caylee said...

such a beautiful classic outfit. love red lips on your!
i remember when you posted wearing this skirt last year (february/valentine's day, i believe), and everyone flipped out because your legs looked amazing in it - and they still do =)

i also loved the giving tree as a kid, and where the sidewalk ends!

Ale. said...

It's a simple but incredibly chic look! Love it!

Katie said...

Love the jacket lining.

Tessie said...

I like the fit of that blazer on you. The suave hairstyle works just as well. Great mini skirt.

Ophelia said...

i like the ring =)

Maria said...

Thank you lovely! I was feeling super nostalgic today (if you couldn't tell haha)

& I got the last silver YSL ring back in March from the store on Rodeo. I was super bummed they didn't have the turquoise. They said these rings were selling out really fast! But love yours, enjoy* xoxo

Great jacket- love the lining is purples. Such a nice surprise if the wind blows your jacket open a bit. Gorgeous necklace! I watched most of Where the Wild Things Are....it was good- a little bizarre. And your right, I did expect a lil more.

i still haven't seen 'Where the wild things are', and the fact that it didn't live up to your expectations makes me wanna watch it and see if it lives up to mine.

i can totally see the Audrey influence on these poses ;)

blorange dice said...

woww, i love that suit! man, i never see any suits that cool haha.

Lies said...

Gorgeous outfit really, everything looks so great and fitted! I wasn't disappointed with WTWTA at all. Maybe it was a little short and had a very depressing overall tone but I don't know, I dug it. It was one of the best films I saw in theaters this year :) But I've read that other people were disappointed as well ^^ I love your blog!

ediot said...

ARe u still interested? And would you still be interested in a size small?going town soon so i hope you answer in ime :) xx ediot

re: wild things... after watching it, i was left feeling very... empty, i guess? i was expecting to feel nostalgic for my childhood, but instead felt really depressed about the loss of childhood innocence.
