Get the look:
+ Pallas Centaure Jacket
+ Protagonist T-Shirt 01, 4-Ply Silk Crepe

How does Miroslava Duma manage to look this cute 24/7?! She had me at denim and stripes, but that Chanel jacket and bag, the cool mix of accessories and those Prada platform sandals bring it to a whole other level. Really love when a Chanel jacket is styled with a casual chic look.
