Top - gift from Istanbul / Blazer - Vintage Roderger / Jeans - Express / Shoes - Boutique 9

Linda, my friend, former colleague and landlady, brought me this awesome graphic tee back from Turkey when she was there a few weeks ago. Obviously, I adore it not only because it's hot pink or because Linda gave it to me. But I vacationed in Turkey years ago and to this day, it is one of my top two favorite vacations ever. Turkey is a beautiful place with charming people and out-of-this-world food. I would give anything to go back but for now, this ridiculously cool tee will have to tide me over. Thank you, Linda!

The blazer is new-to-me from Mimi at www.BrookandLyn.com. She doesn't sell vintage clothes anymore but the vintage jewelry is amazing. Almost as amazing as the incredible pieces she has created herself. If anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas, wonder no more. :)

love this outfit! it's a great mix of dressy and casual/relaxed elements. the shoes are a nice contrast. i'm bummed mimi is no longer selling vintage clothes, but i'm head over heels for her self-designed stuff. ~joelle

Love that top with that blazer! I want to see more of Turkey - I've only been to Istanbul and loved it. Such an inspiring city and I never expected it to be so hip and cool while still maintaining so much traditional culture.

I love how vibrant that blazer is! And how fitting is this outfit after your comment on wonderfelle - the bf jeans/tshirt works so well on you, casual but fabulous. Pants just seem so uncomfortable to me!
