INSTAGRAM LIFE VOL. 4

I know Instagram recently launched an online presence (check out my page here), so posting my favorite snaps on the blog seems a tad irrelevant. But...I still like it! And honestly, I haven't looked at anyone's Instagram page since they launched the site (except for Rihanna's?) so re-posting these here will continue until further notice. Above: I like vintage things! Including Vespas (not necessarily vintage), desks, tables and cars.

I really am doing the street style thing I mentioned last time! Doing it on a mobile device feels pretty organic, like it should have its own slogan/hashtag - Street style hits the streets! #style2go

Also, I love graffiti. Here are some favorite outdoor art installations as of late...

BUFFALO CHECK

Buffalo plaid is one of my favorite fall/winter fabrics. The graphic two-tone check is classic in red, but here in blue on a pair of women's pants from the eighties it has the punk appeal my 'drobe needs. I'd been on the hunt for a hammertime-esque pair of pants in a good plaid when I came across these babies at 10 ft. Single (285 N. 6th St., check it out.) They're really high-waisted, so I have to wear a longer shirt with them to balance the look, otherwise it's too easy to tell that the last person who owned them was sixty-five and named Miriam. The result is a spin on my "model off duty" outfit from a few weeks ago, with a bit more of a fashion-y edge. What's your favorite fabric for the colder months?
