Mark Twain Doppelganger

This post is not as much about fashion as it is about character. While I do really like the white ruffled shirt, bow tie and cumber bun combination, it is this man’s character and style that dominate the images. He looks like a writer, which could be the reason why I associated him with Mark Twain or maybe just because he looks like him. His worn leather bag looks like it could be holding a manuscript for the next great American novel.  I do also like how the the beige jacket (occupy button on lapel, and all) stands away from the white shirt creating a little contrast in the outfit.

Young, Youthful & Lucky

It was a great Spring weekend in New York, and this young lady took full advantage of it. Her strapless Betsey Johnson dress, is adorned with small drawings of lucky charms. The dress has a fun, youthful cut, which is perfect for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. She paired the dress with black wingtip flats, creating a retro look. The simple gold necklace and charm is the perfect accessory to dress up the neckline without taking away from the dress. The two Mini Mouse style buns are very youthful and add to the fun look of the outfit.

 

Silhouetting In A Sheer Skirt

This is a fun outfit for this Spring. The colors are light and the fabrics are thin, allowing you to feel comfortable in the heat of the Spring Sun. The loose fitting, white v-neck tee from Juicy Couture, has a fun graphic that transitions from light blue to soft pink. Below the shirt’s pink bottom is a canary yellow, ankle length maxi skirt. The semi-sheer fabric allows your natural silhouette to show through, which looks fun and flirty, as well as comfortable. The ballerina flats on her feet add to the airy feel and look great with the yellow skirt just above them.

Cèline Tote: Happy, Sad Or What?

This young lady wears a relaxed outfit with style. Her navy and white striped shirt hangs off her left shoulder, showing the strap of a white tank. She has on a pair of black, faux leather leggings, which have a nice sheen to them. They are tucked into a pair of black, heeled boots, adorned with a buckled cuff on the top. The Céline tote in black and cream is a new “it” accessory, and its awkward smile adds a little character to the outfit.

Derby Worthy Sun Hat

A simple outfit done well. This young woman wears a pair of charcoal skinny jeans, bloused over the top of black wedge boots. Her white v-neck shirt is a very thin cotton, allowing her to take full advantage of the breeze on a hot spring day. Atop the white tee is a contrasting black vest with a brown, floral pattern, backing. The vest, along with the floppy-brimmed sun hat with a crocheted top, add a nice style to an otherwise ordinary outfit.

The Urban Surfer

There are so many styles out on the streets of New York, this is just one of them: the “Urban Surfer.” This young man sports a coastal look with DC high tops, black skinny jeans, a turquoise Volcom tank, a messanger bag and large quare framed sunglasses. The high and tight haircut is a little contradictory to the outfit, but does not look half bad.

 

TREND ALERT: Harem Pants & Sandals This Spring

Harem pants are all over the place right now. Originating in India more than 2,000 years ago, these loose fitting pants have become a very popular item on the streets of New York City. The loose fitting fabric allows for breathabilitly on those hot days in the Concrete Jungle. This young woman wears a bright pair of pink, extremely baggy harem pants with a simple white tank top. On her feet she wears brown leather, gladiator style sandals, which go really well with the tapered bottoms of the harem pants. It is an effortless look, but looks great.

This young lady has paired her black harem pants with a sleeveless graphic tee, creating a Rock n’ Roll chic look. The black leather, fringed bag goes well with the overall color and style of the outfit, as do the black Chanel, T-strap sandals.

This woman wears her black harem pants with gold toe loop sandals. tucked into the pant waist is a sheer blue blouse with white polka dots. Around her neck the small scarf adds spring colors to the outfit.

This man is not only dressed in a Fred Flintstone shirt and matching tie, but also sports the latest in trends: the cat on the hat. Only in New York City.

The Spring Scarf

This is an office appropriate outfit. The black dress is simple and elegant. The pockets are a great touch, and along with the wedge sandals, add a more relaxed feel to this black dress. The black jacket with elbow length sleeves goes well with the dress, and the grey lining adds a little contrast. The turquoise scarf is the item that makes this entire outfit. It adds just enough color to stand out, without being too overpowering.
