Thrift Inspiration, Louis Vuitton Oriental Style

A key look for this Summer is Oriental and Louis Vuitton have featured this trend in their Spring Summer Collection for 2011.



A visit to Barnados charity shop earlier today (I was good too, as my prime reason for going was to drop off a donation) sourced this Oriental jacket by Yushan. The all over pattern is actually embroidered, rather than a print and the jacket is lined and I'm sure it is silk.

Its a perfect little jacket for summer and although I do love the Oriental look, a dress would be a bit too much for my style of wearing this trend

Will you be going Oriental this Summer?

Hmmmn. Will dig around my 'back stock' and see if I can find something oriental that might fit me. Like Rebecca, I can't wait to see how you will style this pretty jacket. It's you who is the inspiration, Sharon!

Not sure. I am very non Oriental in every possible way, so I am not confident I will look good in this style. But I love what you got! I wish I could pull stuff like that off!

I love oriental and have been scouring eBay for a suitable oriental purchase for weeks... I hadn't realised it was 'the next big thing' so now I'll be keeping my eyes doubly peeled for an oriental bargain.

Pearl Westwood said...

Lovely find! I have a red and gold cheong sam I wore it on a night out once but it has been confined to the closet ever since I think it looks a bit too much like fancy dress!

Dear Sharon, that is lovely, the print and colours are really pretty.

I love the Vuitton collection. I have a couple of jackets which I must dig out.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend xx

What a great find! I'm sure it will look lovely on you (with jeans, with the black leather skirt?) I don't know yet if summer will put me into oriental mood. xoxo
