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.

Model off duty style – a motorcycle jacket in red suede

Someone once told me blondes should only wear red. Not only do I disagree but I tend to think red is not our best color. Here’s the exception to the rule. And a nice alternative to the standard black motorcycle jacket!

Japanapunk

This photo doesn’t do the neon nature of her hair justice. It’s utterly acidic in real life. Love how she keeps everything else predominantly black and white and plays with patterns and textures. And the invisible eyebrows. The opposite of the other growing trend of the super strong brow.

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?

ASOS jacket, CHRISHABANA, Underground Original flatforms & Warby Parker…what I’m wearing now

Sometimes it’s all about the accessories. Here I’m wearing the Spencer polarized sunglasses with slightly mirrored lenses by Warby Parker. I ordered them at their showroom and they’re not on the website yet. (and yes there IS such a thing as slightly mirrored –you have to see them to see what I’m talking about)  I’m a big fan of Warby Parker because all their lenses are polarized which makes them much sharper than normal lenses and I personally don’t understand why it’s so damn hard to find fashionable polarized lenses. Also because they donate a pair to someone in need for every pair purchased which is pretty rad. The necklace is a from CHRISHABANA and I am loving the bright neon colors…and how well it goes with my new Underground Original suede flatforms in an acid green color. And I finally found a relatively cheap and cute leather jacket for summer evenings from ASOS. All this was worn with a white tank and denim shorts.

A simple suit is a great alternative to the LBD

Drapey trousers paired with a jacket is a nice alternative to the “little black dress” for occassions. And the white and orange color palette is both fresh and on trend.

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.
