Never thought we’d see Rumi Neely and Cora Boutique mentioned together, but that’s just what San Jose Budget Fashion Scene Examiner, Linda Tsan, has done in Trends on a budget: Mixed media stacked jewelry.

In the article, Linda reflects on Rumi’s favorite arm candy and recommends Cora Boutique to help us all achieve her look for less.

Here’s what Linda had to say:

“For anyone that’s a seasoned fashion blog reader, Fashion Toast’s Rumi Neely’s avante garde style is certainly one to be reckoned with. The San Diego native routinely mixes couture with sweet vintage florals, skull motifs and outrageous shoes to create an out of this world style that is uniquely hers. Once you find your way to this muse’s blog, it’s diffiult to to not want to spend hours scrolling through the posts.

One-of-a-kind vintage duds like hers may be hard to find, but are surprisingly easy to replicate if you have the time. A fan favorite and staple style of hers is wearing stacked bracets and multiple rings. According to her captions, she mixes flee market finds with Forever 21 and Couture jewelry brands. Can we achieve this look? Here are some great stores to find similar bracelets:

Knuckle rings: Her’s is from Elizabeth and James. Find yours at Cora Boutique for around $15.

Spiked cuff: Her’s is vintage. Find a truly gothic chic one on eBay for just $6!

Arm Cuff: Her’s is couture. Check out this cobra snake arm cuff on eBay for $6 as well!

Stack at your pleasure!”

Don’t mind if we do.

There’s something ethereal about this dress…. Shoes just didn’t seem necessary.  Unfortunately I learned the hard way that for prancing around in North Carolina woods, bug spray definitely was.  Cora Boutique Pewter Moon Dress

I really like how this top has ruffles on the racerback.  From the side it kinda looks like spikes on a dinosaur’s back.  Strange–but weirdly adorable.

I paired the top with our Blair Exposed Back Zip Skirt and our Strappy Studded Sandals.  I know it sounds unbelievable but these shoes are actually really comfortable.  The straps are a softer fabric material rather than hard faux leather, so they don’t dig into your skin at all…

Watercolor Floral Racerback Top, $28.50

Blair Exposed Back Zip Skirt, $34.50

Strappy Studded Sandals, $48.50

I love the way the light shines through the sleeves on our Sheer Nicole Boho Tunic.
I’ve paired the top with some dark wash jean cutoff shorts and cognac gladiator wedges.  My earrings are our Violet Rosebud Earrings and I also have on a couple of our wood bangles which are currently available FREE with every order at Cora Boutique – hurry though because they’re almost gone!  Also, don’t forget to follow shopcora on Twitter  — You’ll receive a 15% OFF coupon code when you do!

I’m really loving the contrast between Bar’s bright fuschia dress and purple heels.  Reminds me of the July 2009 Town and Country magazine cover with the mix of turquoise and fuschia. 

I’m also a big fan of all the bright pinks being used in beauty looks right now.  I’m loving this look makeup artist Troy Jensen gave Rachel McAdams–so gorgeous!

Troy used Shu Uemura vinyl unlimited lip gloss on Rachel to get this look.  If you’re a beauty lover like me then you should definitely check out Troy Jensen’s blog.  He’s Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist and breaks down, step-by-step, how he creates her looks (and others like Jennifer Lopez) and also lists the exact products he uses so you can re-create the look yourself.  I’m a big fan.
