NY Street Style: Fierce

NY Street Style: Incredible Stylish Buddies. Print Mixing, turbans, owls, sequins....OMGAG amazing.

These ladies are in a league of their own. The girl in the sequined skirt even pulled a NYer and changed out of her flats into her high heels just for these pics. 

I feel like these two make an amazeballs fashion parade wherever they go. 

I am so into all of these situations. The red! The coat! Polka dots! The sequins! Owl backpack!

Fearless.

NY Street Style: Lady turns it OUT.

This lovely lady posed for me on a cold day in New York City. Everything about her outfit is incredible. She collects vintage Bakelite, and she MADE her own fur wrap/scarf. I don't even have any idea how one goes about making a fur stole, but apparently this lovely New Yorker is a fashion genius. Her dress and cardigan are from the 1950's, and they added cozy layers while creating an hourglass silhouette. She had the perfect combination of vintage glamor and modern trends.  I loved her sky high chunky clog platforms, her leopard print phone case, her incredible bright red hair, and her general high fashion fierce femme demeanor. We talked about our shared love of fashion and vintage finds, and she let me document her whole situation, down to her bright blue nails. 

Internet, I have a new style icon. 

NY Street Style: Think Pink! Spring on the Street!

Stylish ladiez grabbing some sun!

Me hanging out in Prospect park with my Fave Parosel.

I want my whole life to be decorated like this restaurant.

I love to people watch in Washington Square Park.

Chillin' in Silver Shoes, Assymetrical coat, and pale pink hair. Love this.

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!!!

NY Street Style: Spring Chiffon. Cobalt Blue. Stripes. Fiercenezz. Queer Street Style.

 

This amazing fellow made all of the jewelery he is wearing! Also, he is only 21 years old. He is simply ah-gayze-ing. I love the colors and unique proportions. Not everyone can rock a chiffon navy/cobalt blue oversize stripped shirt. I really like the pendants he is wearing, especially the fan pieces. Very Karl.

NY Street Style: Spring Style. Cozy, Cute Suede Shorts!

Not everyone can rock an outfit like this. Love the suede shorts. She was the first person I took a street style photo of. She and her friends were just lovely.

Amazing hair, cozy whites. Love her glasses and earrings and makeup...and friendly smile!

And stylish friends too. Love the hair and eyebrows on the left hand side.

NY Street Style: Abby Road meets amazing hair. Rock.

The head to toe look never gets old in NYC. Also....I am not normally the biggest fan of shreded T's and jean shirts, but she looks amazingggah! Her whole outfit works so well. Those leggings??? Finally her hair is really what kills me. I wanna learn how to tie a scarf like that. ROCK ON!

Street Style: Los Angeles Style. Chartreuse, Florals, Burgundy, Leather Earrings

I took these photos of the lovely and stylish Marlena on New Years Day in Los Angeles. I love the color and texture of her outfit. The burgundy and forest green combined with the pop of chartreuse are so good!  
(Oh and P.S. she is a model for my Etsy Vintage Shop, so expect to see more of her looking fierce!)

Street Style: New York Black and Neon.

New York Black, with hints of Nautical, and a BIG splash of neon and Color with a Faaaahhhbulous Neon Scarf. I'm totally gonna look in Thrift Stores for something similar. 

Maybe a bunch of different bright silk scarves tied together could achieve a similar effect? 

Possible DIY coming soon....

Street Style: NY Bracelet Stacking Skills

I love the variety of place, color, style, and materials here. Wrist style.

This handsome guy let me photograph his impeccable style. You get the feeling that nothing he wears is random. The layers are perfect, and everything is coordinated. I love the greys and blacks with pops of color.

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: Beautiful in Blue

Redheads in Blue. Always Works. This lovely lady was so very charming. I love her Blue and Cream Leaf Print Jumper, her Bright Red locks, and her stunning SMILE! What a way to dress for a gloomy fall day.

I adore her vintage style make up and her vibrant nails!

Get it girl!

Sometimes you just need to act like an Ostritch. The urge just hits.

Yes. Act like an ostritch...or emu? Exotic bird? Coming out of an old lady's brain? Ok I was doing my best.

Prints.

I've been really interested in (quelle suprise) fabric and prints lately. I am really loving when a piece has an unexpected print, or color, or embroidery. So here is some Duke Ellington, some street style, some inspiration, and more.This song is Caravan, off of the album Money Jungle. It was recorded in September 1962. Duke Ellington (piano); Charles Mingus (bass); Max Roach (drums).
