Be mellow yellow in vintage Chanel sunglasses like Miley

Singer Miley Cyrus was seen with her boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger in a laid-back 90s inspired outfit that Cher Horowitz would love. The singer looked fit and fabulous in a black cropped top, black leggings, and yellow sunglasses with rhinestones. Is anyone feeling as nostalgic about the 90s as we are?

These shades are vintage Chanel and were available at famed vintage retail boutique Resurrection. These one-of-a-kind round shades have swarovski crystals that circle the frame to create the iconic double C's on the sides. Nice!

What we love about this outfit is that the shades become the focal point of the all black outfit. The yellow colorway creates a fun and young look that we're obsessed with here at Fashion Finder HQ, and we think you will be too! Check out our edit below to nab yourself some serious style.

Brandi, 27, said: 'I think she met him through her mutual friend, but we've hung out with him a ton since. He's been great. He's such a nice guy.

'He's easy to hang out with and be around. He has great friends. He's a good dude.

'I like that they balance each other out. Miley is like a big personality, high energy, and he's super laid-back and easygoing. And they are a good team.'

Brandi also thinks the loved-up couple are perfect for each other because they come from similar backgrounds. 

She added: 'He comes from a big family too. He's got a sister and I think he fits in so well because he kind of comes from the same life we did.

'He has a famous dad [Arnold Schwarzenegger] and stuff. I mean he gets it.'

The pair's relationship was rumoured to have hit the rocks recently after Patrick, 21, was seen getting close to his ex-girlfriend but whilst Brandi thinks it's hard to 'keep up' with their relationship, she believes things are most likely OK between the couple.

She told the magazine: 'As far as I know yes, [they're doing OK].

'But you know you never know. Things change every day with everybody.  It's hard to keep up.'
