Black Layers Upon Layers, West Village

Red Docs, Collared Shirt and an Oversized Jacket

Spotted right by Parsons, which makes sense.

Hello Kitty and Navy Coats- Lafayette St.

One of the best combos ever- saddle shoes, round gray felt hats, navy cap with an elongated collar so it appears to be a cape and a hello kitty bag? I only wish I were this cool.

The Subway and Green Hair

Schillers, Rivington St

Pendleton esque pants, and gray scarves; spotted during winter when it's about to turn into evening and the light in the shade is the prettiest blue color.

Red Hair Girl Spotted in Chelsea.

The prettiest hair and the best shoes. Why are those things so in tandem with one another? You know what, doesn't matter. I like it.

Black Curls and Ecote Shoes

I have super, super curly hair and I am in awe of any curly haired girl that has nice hair. A nice length, styled great, curly bangs (which seems impossible for me to achieve); curly hair that looks styled and looks good with their overall style. My curls just feel frizzy, limp, and almost verge on dreadlocks. I spotted Ioana on 2nd Ave and chased her down half a block for her picture. I love how effortless she looks, and how great the brown Ecote shoes from Urban Outfitters pop against the black layers of her outfit. But the main reason I wanted to take her photo was how great her hair looked. I am kind of obsessed, in a ridiculous way, with curly haired girls who have really great hair styles.

Snakeskin, Soho

This sort of reminds me of an off duty Kate Hudson/Rachel Zoe look. I'm feeling the vague "Almost Famous" inspiration, brought by the rabbit fur coat and long snakeskin print skirt.

Jasmin, Spotted on Houston St

Jasmin, of Vintage Vandalizm, spotted after dark on Houston Street at Billy's Antiques. One day, I want to grow up and be a classy lady that has amazing hair, perfect makeup, amazing back seams and the most perfectly tailored winter wear with a lot of chutzpah who sounds just as confident and in charge as Scarlett O'Hara. For now, I am continent to wear my beat up brogues, torn tights, and bright red lips.
However, back to Jasmin, check out those studded leather gloves! The fascinator hat, the fox fur scarf and studded leather gloves all worn together?? This outfit is insane in the best way, so elegant and fierce at the same time.

 

 

 

Joby, Bushwick

The Cutest Couple I know

My good friends, Clark and Julia, photographed in Bushwick on a really lovely day during the summer. They moved to Portland a while ago and I miss them so much. Clark, no matter what, always looks dapper. Julia traveled all around the country, sometimes by train or by car, and around Europe, living out of a suitcase. Most of her clothes are from the thrift store around the corner from her house and she always, without fail, looks like a beautiful vintage lady that lives in a refurbished barn in the middle of a tall, green forest and drinks wine while she paints.

Green Collars and Coffee

Red Jeans and Leopard Print Heels

There's a lot to love here, where should I start? The red jeans, chambray button down, leopard print heels, beige buttery leather tote and round John Lennon/1920's sunglasses? Yup, all of that. Combined that I saw her in front of a cute green house and she was just sauntering along to a lunch spot? Check that as well. The thing I really like about this image is that she looks really put together and almost conservative, since she's wearing jeans, heels and a button. However, then you notice that she's wearing leopard print shoes and bright red jeans, and then it becomes a super interesting outfit.
