I don't even need to say anything, right? I mean: perfect. Duh.
[STREET STYLE] TROP ROUGE
11.13.2013
I really love Christina's style—she's not one of us basic bishes in our Zara skorts (examples of her recent hotness here and here)—plus, that hair!
P.S. In case you missed it—my impression of her major lewks on Instagram.

[STREET STYLE] HANNE GABY
10.28.2013
Mac and I ran into Hanne Gaby on Saturday and I was all like, "Hey girl, how've you been since I last saw you in a Whole Foods and tried to secretly Instagram you in the produce aisle?" And she was all like, "What?" and then I took her picture. Ok, so that exchange didn't really happen, but I have seen Odiele in a Whole Foods—and Anja Rubik once, come to think of it. Anyway, she did mention she's wearing Comme Des Garçons—how sick is that coat?? Ugh, and that bag! Also, later that day, Daria rode by me on a bike, so I was kind of living the dream.
P.S. You can see Hanne working/werqin' it for Theyskens' Theory here.

MY #NYFW PHOTO DIARY
9.12.2013
Blah blah blah, faShIon! I have so many thoughts and stuff to talk about, but I'm exhausted—not because I was hopping from one show to the next in heels, but because work has been really demanding lately and now I just want to nap all the time. That being said, I did manage to fit in some #NYFW action this past week—it was my first time ever actually getting invited to anything, y'all! The two runway shows I had time to see (pics below) were The Art Institute of NYC (top) and Concept Korea (bottom).
I got the chance to meet Tommy from MyBelonging this week as well. We share a love for Zara leggings and Azn fashion, so after the Concept Korea show we took pics of each other's outfits and practiced looking bored:
I know! I'm wearing a leather apron skirt! I am telling you nothing about it, though...you'll have to wait for the full outfit post/details next week. Aside from actual runway shows, I got to take in a few presentations (pics below, again, duh). Two favorites were Frank & Oak (top two) and William Okpo (bottom two). Also of note: Frank & Oak just released a really sweet 'zine (you saw it on Insta here) with top-notch photography and an interview with Waris Ahluwahlia. Looking forward to seeing more from them...
...and I loved the William Okpo presentation, too—great prints, great hair. Then I took some other street style snaps of people (you can see another angle on this lady's outfit on The Sartorialist).
I got up to some other life choices, all visible on IG, in case you're looking for more! And now I'm going to go get a large coffee...Like this post? Check out my other fashion week-related posts here and here.

[STREET STYLE] JACQUEMUS MESH SKIRT
9.06.2013
She's wearing the skirt I love so much! (Blogged about here.) Aisha is a French stylist visiting town for #NYFW. She was a little surprised I knew Jacquemus; I guess it's quite a small label? But with such brilliant campaigns every season, I feel like they're hard to miss. I love the way she's wearing this...now I have to buy it just so I can put my photo next to hers and do a "Her Way/My Way" post!

[TRENDSPOTTING] BUCKET HATS
8.30.2013
Everyone with eyes knows that bucket hats are majorly trending right now—Mac did a little roundup awhile back about this phenomenon, if you need a cultural touchstone.
This whole look is so next level, though. I mean, if I had said to you last year, "I shot this guy in a Stüssy bucket hat!" you would've been like, "Nice one brah, you street snapped some Florida tourist!" This much #fashion isn't what you would expect. That shirt is incroyable (those sleeves!) and the cuffed jeans with the Birkenstock-esque sandals worn with socks!? I can't even.

[STREET STYLE] THE UNDERCUT
7.26.2013
The best part of this photo? What's just outside of the frame—he's waiting in line to get ice cream!
And, of course, I die for how perfectly unisex this look is; I could see every element on a woman, down to the haircut. This guy could be Kate Lanphear's doppelganger, amiright?

OUTSIDE MALIN LANDAEUS
7.17.2013
Long story short: she's gorgeous and I'm dying.
But I mean, really—we all know onesies are #hotrightnow, but a onesie sweatshirt dress with an unfinished hem? So next level. And I'm pretty sure she's wearing these shoes, which are from Zara, but they look so wonderfully Acne-ish with her ensemble. I love the bruises on her knee and the glimpse of a tattoo we get peeking out from under her left sleeve, not to mention the no-fuss hair and minimal makeup (maybe none at all?)
And if you didn't know, Malin Landaeus is one of the best vintage boutiques in Brooklyn. The shoe selection is impeccable, there's deadstock vintage eyewear from Sweden, and she has some great jewelry by Erica Weiner. And if you stop by on a Sunday afternoon, Landaeus serves tea and (homemade) cake! You can also follow the store on Tumblr and Twitter, and find out more about Landaeus herself in her StyleLikeU profile.

[STREET STYLE] BEDFORD AVE
6.02.2013
The hair slays me. (This was taken months ago, not during this weekend's ninety-degree heatwave, FYI.)
[STREET STYLE] FASHION TEVAS IN NYC
4.30.2013
An oversized sculptural shirt with a patch of animal back hair? High fashion Tevas? Go on, I'm listening...
Dakota here is one of the founders of Stone New York, a locally produced menswear line that aims to "fuse modern culture and innovation with etiquette and luxury." It's pricey as balls, but they gave G-Dragon a shoutout on Twitter so you know their hearts are in the right place. Find out more about them on Twitter, Tumblr and/or Instagram.
[STREET STYLE] WEST 18TH
4.24.2013
Holy. Shit. Amiright? I was going to hold onto this one until next fall, considering that would seem more seasonally appropriate, but it's been chilly and grey in the city these past few days so...maybe this is the new look for spring? It also ties in well with my own look for the week, which is something I've been wanting to do with the street style posts...
But let's talk about this perfection: the hat!, the hat matching the coat, the sweater, the scarf!, the pants, the cuff, the socks...the sneakers! Even his laces are jauntily tied for a look that's as charming as it is sophisticated - a tricky balance to strike. I love that he kept it tone on tone and presumed he was European because I've seen a lot of French and Italian guys here in New York really owning the shit out of a navy-grey-black color palette; he's actually Dominican. What do we think - whatever the season, THIS is #menswear, no?

NOT AT COACHELLA
4.14.2013
The flea makes me wish I had approximately a billion dollars to donate to like, ocean preservation, so that I wouldn't feel guilty about blowing a couple grand on ten tons of vintage and some really cute chairs. Some of my favorites are Nishi's shop, Interwoven and this guy Koichi, who doesn't have an online presence. (Except I Instagrammed his #supercute displays here and here.) If you're in the city and haven't made it to the flea yet, you should haul ass next weekend and make a morning of it. The farmer's market is right down the street, so you really don't have an excuse!
[STREET STYLE] SPRING + LAFAYETTE
4.02.2013
I'm thinking about the perfect spring sweatshirt...I saw this one at J.Crew and really love it in toasted honey, but I'm also into this guy's rolled hems. And hot damn is he holding down that monochrome thing - gray shoelaces? I'm into it.
[STREET STYLE] NAVY BLUE 3 WAYS
3.18.2013
My declaration that winter is over seems to have been a bit preemptive. NYC has been bitterly cold as of late, with every other street turned into a godforsaken wind tunnel. I've noticed a lot of people combatting the chill in navy blue overcoats, such as this incredible looking artist/actor in a beautiful military-style coat, above.

WINTRY MIX: 5 SEASONAL MENSWEAR LOOKS
2.27.2013
I'm officially declaring: winter ends this week. I don't want it anymore. I know it came late and intermittently at that (evidence: this post from the end of January), but I hate it. Always have and always will. Being cold is terrible! To send the season on its merry way, I've saved up five of my favorite menswear looks for a big fat wintry mix of street styles, starting with this guy. I love his coat (you can see the back of it here - I'd Instagrammed him a few weeks before I took this shot! #SmallWorld), but it was really the cotton scarf that caught my eye. I bought my first ever (!!!) cotton scarf this season on sale at J.Crew and I gotta say, while it ain't completely practical when the temperature really drops...it's just so cUtE! Will feature prominently in next week's outfit post, so be on the lookout.
