Heroin Heroine
First, I apologize for not posting yesterday. Life has been a bit crazed as of late - but it's all good. And today's post is a little different as well. My friends at American Apothecary started designing t-shirts (like the one I'm wearing above) that showcase drugs that are now illegal or unhealthy but were once considered medicinal such as heroin, cigarettes (given to asthmatic children) and cocaine. With these daring designs, they hope to expand the public’s knowledge of our dubious pharmacological past and encourage people to consider what the future opinion of today’s widely prescribed drugs will be. Personally I think we're turning our...

New glasses by Selima @ EVA Boutique
I used to live in Soho. Way, way back in the day - and hands down my favorite shop was the Selima Optique on Wooster Street. Now that Soho has become an upscale mall (it's newest resident a Croc store!) I avoid it like the plague. So I was thrilled that Selima Salaun opened a shop within EVA, a fantastic boutique on the Bowery that carries some of my favorite local designers like Katie Gallagher and The Twentyten. This photo is Stephanie Pappas, the founder of EVA, wearing the ZIA sunglasses that Selima made specifically for EVA New York. I love the old school drama of these glasses. I also love Stephanie's leggings? Tights? They seem like leggings...

Sweater Girl
I thought this girl was so cute I had her stand on the bench so that I could take her photo. (it was a bit crowded -though I'm sorry I missed her shoes.) Admittedly, denim shorts with black tights of some sort is not uncommon but these particular tights are really cute. And the homespun charm of the sweater works for her...

This subject spoke with a slight French accent but couldnot remember where she had gotten the fab blue shoes...

Kenzo says you might as well dance
A Q&A with designer Kenzo MinamiI met Kenzo Minami awhile back at a party at B.East. He was dj-ing at the party and I liked his energy and overall vibe. Later I learned that dj-ing was just a small part of what he's about. Kenzo is a majorly accomplished artist/designer and the more I learned about him the more intrigued I became: he has been commissioned to do work by a variety of companies from Mercedes-Benz to Converse to the Tribeca Grand Hotel. He's also had both solo and group shows and in 2007 was chosen as one of 35 people for “Johnnie Walker Blue Label Celebrates 35 Under 35” which was designed to celebrate the brightest young minds...

Baschti near the window
Baschti is looking beautiful in pale blue and sea green. And his sneakers are swell as well...and that's all I really have to say today...

How to wear white lace
This is something I have been thinking about lately. I have a white lace top I bought at a thrift shop and I've been thinking how I can style it so I don't look like I'm fresh from my First Communion. I think this girl has it right: she is wearing a dress made of white lace but paired it with a wide belt and darker tights and boots to make it appropriate for an evening out. I think for a daytime look she could play with paler colors as well but keep with the strong waist/bold belt concept. Or leave it as a simple shift dress and add more jewelry and fun flat sandals...the possibilities of a good piece are endless...

Keeping with Color
Thought I'd continue with yesterday's colorful post and add another. I love her "international" sweater vest and little heart bag. I think that if she's going to work the bow it could be a bit bigger. But overall I applaud the color in both their outfi...

@ IN*TANDEM Magazine Launch Party
Last night I went to the launch party for IN*TANDEM Magazine at Sutra in the East Village. This is Julie, one of the Creative Directors and she is one of the hottest girls on the scene. I love to photograph her and was psyched with her full-on embrace of color in this insane dress! I have been obsessively reading Excess: fashion and the underground in the '80s, and I think Julie personifies some of the best of that decade with a very modern twi...

Casually Cool - NY street style
This is Walt Cessna (on the left) with a friend. I love how they're so casually dressed but still have great details like Walt wearing a cross body bag (although the bag is kind of hidden here) and his friend wearing multiple patterns. The whole pattern thing can be tricky so it's great when you see it done rig...

Seen at Sloane
I have been under the weather lately so not going out as much as normal. So today stopped by Sloane to return a jacket I borrowed from Brian and show him the Taff! segment. (which we all watched even though none of us knows German!) I knew I would be able to take photos for the blog there and I was right. This is Lauren, who is also a designer as well as a very cool girl. And she's perfectly dressed for a rainy city d...

still seeing spots
Spots...dots...polka shots...this is the last photo I'll post with the dot theme. But it does beg the question: where is this coming from? And do we like it? My jury is out. I do think the shiny retro shoes are cool...what do you think. Dots: hot or n...
