NY Street Style: Victor, Greenich Village. Spring Layers.
This very cool dude named Victor let me take his photo today. I love how he took basics (army jacket, white thermal, black hat, black leather boots) and mixed them all together in stylish layers.
I have a feeling that this guy never looks boring.
I like the rolled cuffs, and the thermal tied around his waist. I love his way-cool felt hat and tortiseshell round glasses too. There is something vaguely retro about this look...a bit 60's maybe? Werq!!!

Street Style: Extra Extra! NY Girl tells the T! Newspaper, Flavor Flav, Black and White Chic, et plus!
When out on the street in NY I found a petite bubbly young lady with beautiful blond hair,
and her style was a mix of newspapers, flavor flav, madonna, 40s, 90's, 80's, with modern touches.
Sounds like it could be busted mais ouais?
But this little lady WORKED.
She showed me her clock bag, her newsprint dress, and told me about her love of vintage clothes and style. She was only the second person I stopped to ask to take their photo, and she was so sweet about it and excited. (Oh, and the clock on the bag? It works.)
WORK GIRL!

Street Style and Shoe Love: Big Chunky Platform Shoe Obsession
 |
| possible Kirkwood? |
 |
| Puddle Jumping |
 |
| In chunky black platforms |
During Black Friday I purchased these beauties by Seychelles. I swear to you, they look big and tall but they are CRAZY insane comfortable. I think I was influenced by NY ladies and their insane chunky heels. I am still amazed at the shoe art that women (and men) wear walking around NY in cobbled streets and on rainy days. That is shoe love right there. There is something about the pitch of these Seychelles which makes them comfortable. These babies can last me all day, and when I've had Etsy models wear them for me, they all say how comfy they are. Shoe Love.

Street Style: 90's meets Edward Gorey.
This fabulous duo let me stop and photograph them. They were quite lovely. I love the wine soaked lipstick, and the glasses they both are sporting. I also really like the layering and colors. I felt they needed to be framed in this way. Do you agree?
 |
| 90s grunge + NIN + thrifty flair + Edward Gorey = these two |
 |
| I love the layering, the florals on her bag, and that mysterious muscle-y shirt, |

Oscar de La Renta Pre-Fall 2011
Also known as stop it. Just stop it. Ohmigoodness. I don't think I've ever seen an Oscar de La Renta collection I don't love. Perfect fall shapes, lady-like perfection (as always), and COLOR! Thank you. Being in New York surrounding by blackblackblack makes me want to dress like this all the time. There is also something so timeless about his clothes. I could see a fabulous mid 80s woman with big bangles in these looks, or a curvy 30 something, or a twiggy tall girl. Oh yeah and did I mention color perfection? The mix of prints, textures, and colors are so unique. Break those seasonal color rules Oscar, do your thing, get it done.

Hard Girl, Soft Girl, Where'd you put the keys girl?
Another music inspired Treasury. Oh I just can't help myself I still love this song...But this treasury collection is 'Cornflake Girl' Tori Amos when she's been living in NY for ten years, and only wears black and a hard look. Never was a cornflake girl, now she's a Brooklyn girl.
