American Vintage

Awhile back (in the time known as pre-hair cut), I took these pictures. Karen Elson collaborated with Nine West for a collection of vintage-inspired shoes and accessories. They sent me a pair of shoes and I was pleasantly surprised to open the box and see a dreamy pair of wedges that were so perfect in so many ways. In addition to being pretty Karen Elson's collection supports Soles4Souls and starting tomorrow Nine West will donate $1 to charity for every new Facebook fan. Tonight Karen Elson is performing live and I'm so excited to be in New York for it--I definitely have her CD and love her sound.

Beautiful wedges ! and beautiful pictures!

Mercè said...

WoW!!!! You look absolutely sublime. I liked your long hair (what have you done :)), you were like a pre-raphaelite muse, but this bob looks nice in you too.

As you probably know I'm in love with Karen Elson haha I saw her perform last NYFW and in LA last year. She's a dream.

PS: Incidentally, have these shoes too ;)

Corinne said...

Those are fantastic! You look right out of the olden days ;D
stay cute!

Sidewalk Chic said...

Those shoes are spectacular, and look so great with your long hair (though I do love your awesome bob now). Hope you're having a great time at NYFW! :)

Catherine said...

I'm so jealous that you get to see Karen Elson perform live. I have her album as well and have never been able to stop listening to it since I bought it. Love these shoes!

Rose-et-Violet said...

Hahaha, the "pre-cut" era was a fabulous one, don't you agree...although the post-cut one has much potential!

Just joking, I love your haircut.
But those shoes, to die for...you were right, they are perfect in everyway. I honestly didn't know who Karen Elson was before I read your post, but I'm listening to her right now and she's great. I'm so jealous of you!

it's a while and it's collaborate, and english is not even my first language.

Mani said...

I love the colours you're wearing! Those wedges are amazing, too :)

Kat said...

Love the fall colors! I actually especially like the last picture, with the black hat, black dress, and the shoes adding a pop of color.

@J, it's not "a while" b/c "a while" is only used when "while" is the object of a prepositional phrase (which was not present in that sentence, making "awhile" the correct word to use).
It is collaborate though--I don't have an editor and quite often make mistakes. I certainly don't mind being (politely) corrected

Louise, Raspberries In Winter said...

The black and red look so good together, especially with your gorgeous hair!

Tieka, Selective Potential said...

This is so pretty, Rebecca! I adore your wedges!

It was great to see you in NYC! xo
