there’s something about this that catches me off guard every time i look at this photo. there’s such a mix here.  the washed leather jacket, the batman tee.  her shoes are adorable, and separate, i’d never think of all of this together.  this illustrates not only a sense of style, but a sense of self.  and hey lady, nice gams!

i need a little pick me up today.

i’ve been seeing little details like that sunny yellow skirt here and there. little tells that say ‘i’m thinking of spring’. i did it myself just the other day. layered up to the nines, cropped denim , mary janes, and no socks. 50 degrees and no socks. i’m so ready for spring.

update: thanks wendy for getting back to me… see wendy’s handmade jewelry in her etsy shop- eyefun

there are some truly talented musicians who play in our streets. one of my favourites was a violinist who used to play right outside macy’s in the metro tunnel. i wanted to ask this girl for a close-up of her pretty accordion… they’re so interesting.

each time i’ve run into denise, i’ve admired/envied/coveted some piece of what she’s wearing.  and if you haven’t read either of her blogs.  you should.  right now.  go.

love the gold handbag (vintage?) and big chunky earring.  also love the combo of the high wasted longer skirt with the lace legging.  she put her own twist on the look and it looks just right.

as a guy, i don’t know how i’d feel about walking down the runway in the ‘lady sophisticate’ grouping, but i suppose as a sophisticated lady, i’d want my guy to be on par with my ‘sophistication’. i think by far (gowns excluded) these were my favourite looks, and that feather skirt is just for sheena. see all the lady sophisticate looks in the album.
