Punch Buggy

August 8, 2011


{Photos by Judith Wong}
A packed past weekend has resulted in a plethora of photos that I can’t wait to share, but these ones had to take priority. It was so fitting to come across this retro Beetle while dressed in an outfit at least partially inspired by another time, that it would have been a crime to not take photos with it. Big thanks goes to my friend Judith for being so efficient with the shutter, which helped us avoid any potential confrontations with an angry car owner 😉




Wearing: Zara top and trousers, vintage Bruno Magli pumps, Aldo clutch, Joe Fresh earrings, BCBGMAXAZRIA headband

    I love how you always look so put together and elegant, Jen, even in simple black pants and a tank. And what a cute series of photos- I would love to stumble upon a cute retro car on my travels in the city 🙂 It was so nice to finally get to meet you yesterday. I can’t wait to style your lace blazer, I’m just in love with it!

    SO stunning! Where did you find this car? It’s just perfect for the whole look and tied everything together amazingly. Your outfit is stunning of course (what else would I expect from you?) but this has to be all in all one of my favourite posts of yours.

    Hope you’re having a good Tuesday my love 🙂

    your photos remind me of ones I”ve seen of my mom when she was in her teens – very spot on retro. haha good thing the car owner didn’t see your heel/shoe up on the car!!!
