Deserted Diners
Forever 21 Top, Vintage Necklace, Glasses and Clutch, Gap Jeans, Alexander Wang Pumps, Planet Blue Ring
I’m often drawn to statement jewelry for my wrists, but when I spotted this vintage elephant necklace at the flea market last weekend, I knew it would be the perfect complement for just about any outfit. After shopping, we pulled into the parking lot at Johnnie’s, an old school coffee shop that closed years ago, but still has its illuminated sign flickering out front. Despite its desolate interior, the royal blue walls add a much needed dose of color to the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax.

Ooh…. I saw the vintage elephant pendant at http://www.plainobjects.com/index.html Gorgeous and it looks even better worn. In any case, I must say that that’s a great ensemble. Lace against worn-out jeans and with the quirky pendant. Simiply fabulous.
you wear it well, hair and all. I know Johnnies!
impossibly romantic with a dash of cool.
love.

i love boyfriend jeans with neutral heels! those heels are adorable.
love the top and even more so b/c you found it at F21! I’d be nervous to try and pull off an all lace piece, but you made it look great of course

beautiful, beautiful photos. this outfit is ideal. it’s one of my very favorites of yours. (and i’m still dying for not snagging those alexander wang pumps when they were on gilt!)
such a cute look for you:)
What sorts of flea markets do you find all of these wonderful things at ? I have yet to find such a fashionable flea market !
I love the combination of vintage classic (top and necklace) with a modern twist (jeans). I love it, simple yet elegant.
That necklace is an amazing find. And I love it with those funky, dark specs.
I love the lace top and how you paired it with destroyed denim - sort of a balancing act. Cute.

I love that necklace. I have a tiny elephant themed collection, wishing I would find something like this. The outfit looks so spontaneous yet so well coordinated. You truly have a very unique style. Have a great week.
I am really amazed that the top is from Forver 21! Gorgeous.
Great necklace!!
I tried on the dress like that and it was too short for a dress/too long for a top… but you wear the top so well! Love the necklace too!

Fantastic necklace, I was obsessed with elephants when I was younger and still love them today.
love*this*necklace
First of all, you look lovely. Second of all, thank you for posting this! I saw that top on F21.com and was wondering exactly how it looks on. It looks gorgeous on you.
so casually fab. I adore that vintage elephant necklace and the pumps are the perfect compliment to the outfit. I like the way they set off the lacey shirt.
Love the Alexander wang pumps - need to get a pair!
http://www.twinkletoes-golddangles.blogspot.com
I almost bought that on Friday! Looks so good!! Did you see the dress?
LOVE this outfit! The neutral theme looks great against the blue background! Also, what a great buy those AW shoes were!
http://lindsaylovesitall.blogspot.com/
Every time you wear those nude pumps, I die a little inside. They are perfect!
WOW one of my FAVE looks, you look stunning!! Boyfriend jeans and lace are two of my absolute fave styles too. LF has the most amazing lace tops right now too.
Love the outfit! Just saw that top yesterday in Forever 21 loved it and of course it wasnt in my size lol

Too cute. I have that same Razza elephant necklace. Love it!!
i absolutely looove that top. so beautiful!

First, I love the necklace.
Second, what size did you get in the top? I have been eyeing it for the last couple of days and seeing this post and pushed me from a ‘maybe’ to a full blown ‘YES!’ I just want to make sure the fit isn’t wonky.
this outfit is incredible! i adore that top on you and the necklace is so cool! yah, i am pretty in love with every item you’ve got on.
would love to know what style jeans those are?
would love a pair just like them.
xx
wow–I love how it all looks together…the necklace is a great vintage statement piece that perfectly complements the top and jeans!
yes! there we go…a lovely find & your outfit is styled in such a cool, fun way =)
What beautiful pictures!! I love the outfit!!
Love this look! I have those jeans too! So comfy.
That necklace is great!
Great outfit!

oh myyyy I need that necklace! So cute and unique!
Great pictures - I love the top!
i adore this outfit! so cute.
I loved it! Your look is amazing! The piuctures are different and cool!
Another great outfit Emily! And I still really like that ring of yours. I’ve been wanting one forever!
Those jeans look so comfy. Cute outfit.
I love the lace top! I cannot believe it is from forever 21. What I love the most is the elephant necklace. What a great find =) xo

This outfit is too perfect. I can never find beautiful things at forever 21. The one near me seems to be full of garbage.
Sigh, oh well…you look cute though.
Love it….Did you buy the shirt recently….LOVE the glasses also!
You look gorgeous! Love this outfit, especially the contrast of the lace and denim.
I have such a thing for elephant jewelry, and yet I don’t own any pieces. The ones I usually find are smaller charms, but this one makes such a statement. I love it!
This is a favorite, Emily.
Love the mix of the ultra feminine lace top with the rough, worn jeans - adorable look! The glasses, in all honesty, are hideous, even on Emily’s gorgeous face.
This look totally brightened my day, if only to vicariously live through you
Cute look! We totally had that vintage elephant necklace at Calico! So bad-ass.
In response to your tweet.. How about a how-to blog about how to achieve the perfectly messy updo you’re sporting here??
That elephant necklace is such a neat piece!
The lace blouse is beautiful!!! Love the whole outfit.
Mon,
http://foursistersfourstyles.blogspot.com/
This is one of my absolute favorite looks. I loooove lace paired with destroyed boyfriend jeans!! Perfection!
I love this outfit. I love the top. I especially LOVE that necklace!
So fun! And I love that dainty top.
Oh my goodness! You are definitely the only one to pull off a necklace like that. So awesome!
Love the outfit, so nice !
Wow, Emily, you are gorgeous! I love how simple yet put together this look is. You just look fabulous in the little top + comfy jeans and great eye on picking up the necklace.

Oh I love that necklace!!!!!!
Great flea market find!!
Http://purrfect-pal.com
Aw I love your necklace, I recently got almost the exact one at a Le Chateau in my city, so weird! It has a shorter chain but I’m in love with your long verision. & your top is stunning!!
http://superhautefemale.blogspot.com
great outfit–i’m really impressed, because normally i’m not super into jeans being rolled like that (perhaps because i am so short!) somehow, you manage to make it work and i adore it!
beautiful.
http://www.whatdialike. com
I love love love how you put this outfit together. Look effortless, but gorgeous. xx
SNAP!!! I ordered that blouse too!! (and the mini dress version that it comes in too).
Definitely one of the ways I would wear it.
Love this Emily.
Karen x
Emily, you just pushed me over the edge to snatch that top up before they sell out, now that you rocked it!!! Great hair too, girl!! You really should sell clothes, you already practically do!
I absolutely love this pictures, the outfit is amazingly pretty, sophisticated yet so casual. I love it! Btw, your hair looks pretty cool too.
LOVE the Alexander Wang nude pumps!!!
I love this top. Fantastic set!
http://megwearsviolet.blogspot.com/
really really love this! you look super cute from head to toe.
This is such a sweet outfit. I’m loving the lace top and the ring and necklace. The nude pumps are the perfect complement to the outfit.

Gorgeous! I can’t believe you can wear that in your winter - oh I need to go there!
I believe these are some of my favorite photographs of you, Emily. That elephant necklace is stunning; though I am completely obsessed with that lace top!!
I would have never guessed that top was from Forever 21! What a pretty find!
i am wearing those exact jeans today:) i love this site, it is a total inspiration to me!
Love the whole outfit.. As usual of course: what’s not to love about you and your outfits/blog/posts
I really like the glasses, they look like rb 4141, I want them soooo bad!

wow that necklace is incredible!!! i want it
That necklace is such a sweet find! I love it and can’t wait to see you incorporate it into some other outfits!
I love this outfit. Its seems really simple but with the glasses, necklace, and the shirt being lace its very unique and pretty!
i love those nude pumps! and the necklace is so funky and the perfect complement to the look.
Great outfit!! Those shoes are perfect neutrals! My favorite part of the outfit it the elephant necklace though.. I love vintage jewelry and I graduated from Alabama! Roll Tide Roll!
great little photoshoot!! love the outfit and the location!
oh man you’re making me feel really guilty about not going to pilates tonight haha
Isn’t that the famous half pony hairdo? I bet it looks good without almost anything, even overalls. Perhaps you could do a hairdo demo for this.
Great location & such a pretty blouse!
Awful Glasses, do nothing for you, but the outfit is so gorgeous it makes up for it…
I notice those pumps every time. God do I love those!
Love the necklace. I bought a similar gold bracelet and I just adore it! Makes me smile every time I see it. Hope you adore your necklace too!
As much as the necklace makes a really nice statement…that ring caught my eye right away, so going to dream about it tonight! ahah
you look adorable in those glasses and that top is stunning

I have been searching for an elephant necklace just like that! I adore elephants and it is so difficult to find big animal necklaces. I love your blog by the way, I’ve been following you for a while now and you always have beautiful photos. Also, I really admire the tone and color schemes you employ. I would be honored if you followed me via bloglovin.

Adorable! I saw your blog and picture on my friend Melanie and Heather’s underfundedheiress blog. TOO cute!
Oy vey, I don’t look as good in my nerdy glasses as you do with yours.
Love this!!
Can’t go wrong with a lovely lace top! The glasses ruin the look for me though, not because they are ugly or anything, but because it makes the look appear too calculated. It would be so much cooler as a more spontaneous look.
I love this look! That elephant necklace is so cute.
I think this looks absolutely gorgeous and fresh.
I love this outfit and will be trying to reproduce it for myself!! I love the romantic flirtyness of the top with the rugged boyfriend jeans and the heels to make it all sexy! The necklace is the frosting on the cake!
So fresh and sweet, yet artsy and kick-ass at the same time!
i love your mix of masculine and rough (the jeans) with the delicate and feminine (top) and chunky and gilded necklace. and i really really love your blog!!!!
What a great outfit!
Love the elephant, and your lace top.
Perfectly cool;)
loving this outfit, let me tell ya!! aaaah the necklace, ring, im dying!!
