twenty-eleven!

dress: vintage, earrings: urban outfitters, ring: house of harlow, shoes: michael shannon

happy new year!

i've been celebrating the new year with friends & family - oh, and this vintage eighties dress! i bought the sequined adorned frock last year in miami and this is actually the first time i've worn it. it's funny how something that looks like an eighties prom disaster on a hanger can look surprisingly chic when paired with a few modern accessories!

i hope you're all having a wonderful start to the new year!

stayfabulous,

zarna
