Vanessa was such a great sport (and super excited about this vintage car parked outside the Brooklyn store!). In the spirit of our first IRL of the summer, she decided to choose several looks to go from beach to brunch, to performance perfect. - why did you choose this look? Edgy but timeless as if Fellini made a movie starring the Clash. (the car helped.) - what she's wearing - Carmen piped swim halter, black $88 - Carmen piped button swim brief, black $98 - Kaleidoscope scarf, $98 - Wyeth hobo (sold out), black $475
why did you choose this look? - The silk, leather, bag, jewelry, and cuff... oh my! I don't generally like prints but there is something about this simple tank that changed that. So easy, but sophisticated. It really felt like I was able to marry my style with this collection and that I wouldn't tire of the look. - what she's wearing? - Michi silk tank, kaleidoscope $98 - Biblio bag, black $558 - Emile indexer Yam $98 - Sparc claw necklace, silver $275 - Pade Vavra Indian Sunset ring, $160 - Oh humidity! steel cuff, $160
why did you choose this look? - The Blake dress is beyond itself with that couture cut waistline. Wow. Not to mention the brilliant color and that zipper. Again, the sophistication. - what she's wearing? - Blake dress, grenadine $198 - Boudoir scarf, black/cream $98 - Lava cuff, black/poppy $98 - HH clutch wallet, black onyx $170 - Wanna rock Vanessa's looks IRL?
