Blazing Saddles
J.Crew Headband, Vintage Blazer and Glasses, Mossimo Shirt, Express Belt, Forever 21 Watch, Vintage Skirt, Seychelles Shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag
After I posted these three blazers last week, I’ve been on a search to find my own lightweight version of this menswear classic. After no such luck at the Fairfax flea market, I headed over to American Vintage where I spotted this boy’s blazer that had all the right proportions. The overall shape is almost identical to that of the Elizabeth & James and I love how I can scrunch up the sleeves for a more laid back feel.
Also, have you ever wondered where to get the best sushi in L.A.? How about a good boutique hotel near the beach that’s not too pricey? Head on over to Joanna’s fantastic blog, Smitten, where I talk about what I love most about Los Angeles.
I hope you all have wonderful weekends and if you haven’t already, please leave a comment here for a chance to win a handmade tulle necklace!

just came across your blog through the smitten blog. Love your outfit, I have been obsesses with those shoes for a while now, however I cannot find them anywhere now. Any suggestions. Thanks.

cute post title – subtly suits your outfit! Your blazer looks very feminine to me – i don’t see a hint of it being a boys blazer. Lovely as usal!
Nothing like a great blazer to wear with dresses and skirts! I like it.
Super cute!
That is adorable!!!
I love your shoes!!! Do you know of anything like HD buttercup in the bay area?
What a fantastic outfit! I am always looking for inspiration when it comes to finding new ways to pull off a blazer. This is just fabulous!
Have a wonderful weekend
That skirt is kind of fabulous.
I heart that skirt. LOVE the outfit. You’re gifted.
it’s preppy and still has some tough aspects to it. very cute.
You’re beyond adorable! Thanks for the sushi tip! I shall check it out!
Ooh you make it look so cute! I’m still on the fence about blazers, but I think I might try and make one of my mom’s super older blazers (from the nineties at least) work soon… I love the masculine/feminine contrast in outfits!
I’m hoping to visit LA on Sunday with some of my family! I moved to Vista (next to Oceanside) in January but haven’t made it to LA yet.
That blazer is suuch a great find! I also love your shoes, a lot.
horse skirt! love it.

I love your blazer!
I love your blazer! It complements your dress perfectly. xxoxoxoxoxo
so lovely!!! the blazer is the perfect length for the skirt. your bare legs & opened toed shoes & fun guide to LA are weighing in heavily on my thoughts of leaving the cold & moving to the west coast this fall!
My blazer seems to be the only thing I want to wear lately – thanks for some great tips.
Where did you get the little headband?
this is a PERFECT outfit!! the skirt is so pretty, I adore your shoes I’m looking for a pair like that in black or tan.
I love the outfit, esp. the skirt. Discovered your blog last week.

Can’t believe the skirt is vintage, and the blazer is incredible. I believe blazers are the ultimate in clothing!
Enjoy your weekend…
I love that you were able to find a great blazer–I’m in love with the elizabeth and james one and this is definitely on par with it…beautiful!
LOVE your blazer, your skirt, and YES, your shoes!!! And you’re so pretty! Love how you’ve pulled back your hair with that thin headband!

I like those shoes. You have good taste in shoes.
Your vintage horse skirt is truly 2die4!!!
AWESOME!
HAPPY WEEKEND TO YOU!!!!
Loved your guest spot over at Smitten—as if I didn’t have enough reasons to visit L.A. already (beach, family, tons of friends from college, potential star sightings) now I have a few more–and yours are probably the most tempting, too!

I love your skirt. where did you get it? You look very adorable.
that skirt is THE best thing.
Love those shoes! Where did you get them and what is the style name? I know I’ve seen them at some online shoe store before but now I can’t find them. Any help would be appreciated!
just wondering if you got that skirt from my vintage shop – i sold that exact same skirt last year. how could i forget those heavily embroidered horses. anyways, i’m just stumbling on your blog for the first time and love it!
