Mercedes Benz Fashion Week September 2011 Lincoln Center …… Manhattan NYC

It Begins Again

The Monolith is gone they have redesigned the entrance for 2011. It’s really to bad we LOVED the Monolith it was so omnipresent.  With its stone like facade it really appeared to have a historic/religious presence.  Always reminded us of the scene in the original Time Machine when the Morlocks sound the horns and all the Eloi just get up and march into the gates not knowing why or what awaits them.  Although well done the new front appears more like Bauhaus auto show room,  We expect to see spinning Mercs. inside.  No matter it still attracts the fabulous Fashionistas/Fashionistos here are just a few Much more coming soon.

On Bleecker St near Mott NOHO …… Manhattan NYC

A Different Line

We’re digging this basic utilitarian A line frock made definitely more interesting with the use of the crumpled silver mat metallic fabric.

Slightly Cooler

A bit cooler and she can cover up with the light print top over the lovely classic clean line leggings with white top.

On 2nd Ave between 11th and 12th East Village …… Manhattan NYC

Classic Summer Casual with An Edge

Love all the leather shorts we are seeing this summer.  Guess we have to admit, we have a bit of a leather, rubber, vinyl “thing” Her long lean athletic good looks topped with the cropped platinum do are made for this Plus the summer shawl collared morning coat cut loose vests are making a claim on late summer must haves.

On Broadway Just Past Waverly NOHO …… Manhattan NYC

A Dynamic Duo

This Glorious Glamazon is towering over her companion in those FAB Jeffry Campbell's and get your attention red and black sun suit.  He’s looking great, from the waist up at least, in the classic retro cool Ray-Ban Wayfarers, black pork pie hat and simple clean grey sweater with black trim. From the waist down forget about it,  When will these hideous harem pants finally be left with the leisure suit in the history of great fashion flubs never to be resurrected again. http://www.jeffreycampbellshoes.com/home/ http://www.ray-ban.com/usa

Crossing Madison Ave at 77th St Upper East Side …… Manhattan NYC

Upper East Side meets Downtown Style

Charming mix of styles becomes a punky Annie Hall with the man tailored jacket, little black mini dress and combat boots with all necessary hardware Showing off the big Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses on the large floppy hat gives it a bit of softness and required Upper East Side trade mark recognition http://www.dolcegabbana.com/

On Broadway in SOHO …… Manhattan NYC

Tattered and splattered

Blending two popular looks with the tattered/torn tee and graffiti print on the leggings

On Astor Place at Cooper Union East Village …… Manhattan NYC

Beyond Casual Edge

A few simple accessories and the beat boots give this the very East Village feel to beat the heat.  His woMan Do gives a androgynous edge.  She has the body needed to pull of the barely there cutoffs and midriff tie.  And, as always, wear it with attitude.

On Prince St. at Broadway SOHO …… Manhattan, NYC

ABC’s of Style

Tres mignon in her FAB look with the Henry Holland style Alphabet print top. With the leather shorts and retro bike it just screams downtown hipster.

Crossing 34th St at Broadway Herald Square …… Manhattan NYC

Shear Pleasure

To beat the heat this young lovely has grabbed the scissors and turned this vintage Aruba tee into a sexy, low boat neck, slit side mini dress.

On 14th St between 4th Ave and Broadway Union Square …… Manhattan NYC

Going Grey

In the heat this luxe grey see through top was quite the surprise.  Especially in long sleeves with those fantastic cuffs. Seeing a lot of leather shorts in the last few weeks but, the jury is still out on the bolo tie

On 2nd Ave at St Marks Pl The East Village …… Manhattan NYC

Colorized

The bright print over black really pops and brings some color to The East Village.  With the Shocking Pink Hair and Safety Orange High-top Sandals making the dress look tame. By the way although this is the first pair we have seen in orange, these high top sandals are HOT.  All the young ladies are kicking around in them.

On Broadway near 8th Street The Village …… Manhattan NYC

Going Green

Maybe she’s eco friendly, maybe she’s Irish. No matter what you couldn’t miss her in this Kelly green dress. It’s quite a statement combined with the inked arms, bright red lips, great platinum do and those FAB retro shades. Plus being well over six feet tall in those heeled sandals, she defiantly had a presence

On Mercer St between Prince and Spring SOHO …… Manhattan NYC

The Heat Wave Continues

It’s not even August yet and it’s Mad Hot so possibly that could explain this. They were speaking French so maybe it’s OK He’s fine and she is definitely dressed for the weather but, perhaps a little over the top. What do you think?

On First Ave between 10th and 11th The East Village …… Manhattan NYC

Simple detail

Another heat wave and all the girls are grabbing the cut-offs and tees so we greatly appreciate anyone putting in some effort to dress well in this sauna. The black piping and matching belt make this cool comfortable little putty colored number more than just something to throw on when it’s just To Damn Hot

On Broadway in NOHO …… Manhattan New York, NY

It Just Works

We could go on about the great hair, the black mini or the native print tee but you know, it’s just that she’s absolutely lovely and it works. And sometimes that all it is.

On The Streets in SOHO …… Manhattan New York, NY

No junior mommy already has that Chanel

Beating the heat in the lovely loose magenta tank top and cute little linen shorts With the retro round sunglasses blocking the rays The only way to dress these last few days

On St Marks between 1st and A The East Village …… Manhattan New York, NY

Three Different Takes

Three different looks to deal with the Summer heat From casual to quite a bit more up scale. ULTRA FAB platform ballet slippers with thigh highs really stand out.

On Broadway NOHO …… Manhattan New York, NY

God Save The Queen

Digging the FAB Union Jack Top

On Prince at Broadway NOHO …… Manhattan New York, NY

Topping it Off

The skinny jeans and basic top really go up scale by just adding the shawl collared cropped tux jacket. Love it.

On 14th Between Irving and 3rd The Village …… Manhattan New York, NY

Very RAD wrapped horizontal stripe pattern accented by the high tied shirt. Chanel bags go with everything. www.chanel.com

Hats and Flats

Hat Shopping on Spring St.  Love the scarf and the ballet flats are everywhere on the streets in Manhattan this Spring/Summer

Chic Boho in SOHO

Funky but chic.  Love the look.  Especially that wild graphic print bag and that champagne cork necklace

On Broadway Between Bleecker and Houston NOHO …… Manhattan New York, NY

Nice Basic Black Manhattan Casual

At first she caught the eye because of the contrast.  The platinum hair with all black.  But when looking further noticed the collar and pocket detail on what appeared to be at first look just an average sleeves black top.  Made quite the difference.  Moves it up a notch to a nice Manhattan Casual.  It’s the little details sometimes.

On Third Ave Near St Marks Pl. The East Village …… Manhattan New York, NY

Summer Colors

Not quite summer yet but the warm weather is bringing all the colors out Black sandals on the right are definitely interesting

On St. Marks Place The East Village …… Manhattan New York, NY

IT’S HOT

It’s 97 degrees. She’s keeping cool while looking hot in the loose off should mini dress Even thought it’s hot it’s good to be back.

Greetings from The Windy City …… Chicago IL

Street Fashion Chicago Style

On South Michigan Ave On North Michigan Ave.  The Magnificent Mile On Oak Street   At The Historic Water Tower Chicagoans are much more casual in their day time fashion.  We had to work at it but we did catch a few who put in some effort during the day.  Don’t worry. When the sun goes down the fashion scene heats up. One nice thing is that when you see an Louis Vuitton bag here, it’s most likely real. http://www.louisvuitton.com/

On Broadway at Astor Place The Village ……. Manhattan New York, NY

You Keep Me Hanging On The Telephone

We aren’t huge fans of the baby doll cut but it works for her here. May be it’s the contrast with the platform high heels and the uber red hair.

At St Marks and 2nd The East Village …… Manhattan New York, NY

Brief Glance UP from the IPhone

Just before monsoon week hit she’s perfectly dress for the season.   Light jacket, lovin the little polka dot dress and the very hot this season flats Ok, what to you think?  Louis Vuitton original or Canal Street? http://www.louisvuitton.com/

Back During Feb 2011 MB Fashion Week Lincoln Center …… Manhattan New York, NY

Blinded by The Light

The low early evening sun explodes off her fabulous orange cowl The much needed Red Ray-Bans complement nicely.

Crossing First Ave on St Marks Pl …… Manhattan New York, NY

What Is Hip?

See, short shorts don’t have to be cut offs all the time. She goes sexy, short and classy.  We just love the all black shorts topped with’ the black tee and cropped suit jacket.  The combat boots give it the East Village edge but, this could go way up scale with some different kicks. He’s looking good in his funky but chic washed out graphic print jeans, basic black shirt and that great wine colored leather. Great couple.  Nice to see the man keeping up his end on occasion.
