Polka dots and defined brows

Okay I’ve seen these kind of uber-defined strong brows on the runway and on several of my gay boys. Now I’m starting to see it on girls off the runway and I’m intrigued. What do you think of this aesthetic? Do you like it? Would you do it? I personally feel it’s fresh but my fringe hides my brows as it is so won’t be trying it anytime soon.

How to wear a demure white blouse

A white lace blouse with a peter pan collar can look a little too innocent sometimes. She toughens it up with a leather jacket and black skinny jeans.

The shorter length of men’s trousers

The 3 colors in this look makes me think of color blocking. The red pants really grab my attention…especially the length. This shorter length seems to be growing in popularity with fashion conscious men. The question is: will this look translate to the rest of the male population or simply stay in major metropolitan areas? And what do we think of this length?

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.

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.

Casually cool in caramel colored flatforms and matching Hermes bag

I am seriously obsessed with flatforms: those flat platform shoes that are becoming a major spring trend. Creepers are cool but have a Brit punk vibe, and sometimes I’m not into that aesthetic. Her shoes are a take on men’s oxfords with a subtle stud and match her bag perfectly. And she wisely keeps the rest of her look comfy casual for walking around the city.

Close up of the shoes and bag!

How to wear a sheer lace maxi skirt

Sheer Lace Maxi skirt
I saw this girl today on Crosby Street and had to stop her. She is beyond adorable and was really sweet as well. I’ve seen alot of girls wearing sheer skirts with short skirts underneath. Hers kind of does double duty with a fitted solid top part above the sheer below which looks better to me than seeing a skirt underneath. She paired it with a modern floral top (which is not TOO “floral” which you guys know I’m not a fan of) and sandals with socks –another trend that while I know may look ridiculous but I just love.

p.s. and she is not “pretending to model” by putting her hand on her head, it actually was a bit breezy and she was controlling her hair!
