this past weekend in new york city i got the opportunity of meeting famous fashion blogger, arabelle of fashion pirates. being only 16 she has already accomplished so much with her blog depicting her own personal unique style.

below is her personal beloved vintage studded blazer that she was selling and now i am the new proud owner of. can't wait to style this with some of my outfits :)
