Nick Palmer does skinny the right way

Bearded hipster boys in skinny jeans and raggedy shirts will one day seem as ridiculous as velvet track suits or men in flares seem today. If you’re a boy who fancies a slimmer silhouette keep it neat and appealing like Nick and we won’t imagine you borrowed your sister’s jeans.

Arielle & Marcello in Chinatown

Somewhere between Le Baron & China Chalet we went on a custom tour of Chinatown courtesy Sophia Lamar. So while we were waiting for a light I snapped a few photos of Arielle and Marcello.

She’s wearing flatforms by Jeffrey Campbell while he’s in classic converse. I recently bought a pair of flatforms that look remarkably similar to the JC’s but by ASOS instead –and mustard suede instead of silver.

Also love her necklace which is her own creation.

Two fashionable guests at The Parsons 2012 show

This afternoon I attended the Parsons student fashion show. As usual I was duly impressed with the work coming out of here. Photos will be posted later tonight but here are two guests showing their own styles.

SUNO sundress and Nine West sandals – what i’m wearing now

White lace and girlie dresses are big this spring. I don’t normally go for little white dresses but I kind of fell in love with this lace embroidery dress by SUNO by Max Osterweis & Erin Beatty –current CFDA nominees for the Swarovski Award for Womenswear! I paired it here with white sandals with chunky cork heels from Nine West and striped socks for a little insouciance and color. Also wearing my grandmother’s turquoise stone necklace and Dior sunglasses that are re-issues of a design they did in the ’60s. The flowers are because…I like flowers!

Oversized Style

With so many girls wearing skintight clothes 24/7 it’s kind of refreshing seeing someone wearing an oversized sweater with a long skirt. She looks totally cute! As for him…well, he’s classic hipster. Make of that what you will!

Super brights done superbly

Usually I’m not an advocate of so much insanely bright color in one look. But if you can pull it off like this gentleman then by all means go for it!

And I had to share a close up of his tooth!

Friday Casual mid-week

There’s nothing overly obvious or trendy about these two –but maybe that’s what makes them work.

In a simple silk shift dress and Jeffrey Campbell boots she’s ready for anything

I love dresses that you can simply thrown on and go out in. This dress is a perfect example of that. It has a loose cut but the asymmetrical seams keeps it from being boring. And her Jeffrey Campbell boots are beloved by city girls everywhere.

How to wear shorts in the City

When it warms up we want to wear shorts but sometimes it’s hard to know what to wear that will still look appropriate for the city. This girl nails it by avoiding denim and instead pairing simple pale shorts with a black textured leather top. The sandals are the final touch. The platform and chunky heel keep them comfy and sophisticated!

Alexander Wang dress / Preen Jacket / Chrishabana Jewelry / Brahmin bag = what I’m wearing now

I was so inspired by this iconic Chrishabana necklace that I decided to make it the basis of a little animation for this post! I’m wearing it with a very short Alexander Wang dress, Preen leather jacket and my standard Seven for all Mankind platform sandals. And I’m wearing my Brahmin Jolie Clutch that I helped design! Close up of rings and bag below.

Rings are from Bond Hardware, Efva Attling, Chrishabana and a thrift store find. Bracelets are Chrishabana.
