Street Style'ing

How to: street style edition. With fashion week glaring from us around the corner, the pressure is on the capture the attention of the Tommy Tons and other notable camera lenses outside the tents. In this how to, I'd like to discuss the photograph ready street style walk. When prancing up the steps into the valley of street style photographers (outside Lincoln Center), one should chant in their head "boom boom boom boom..." This is totally replacing "strut strut..." because strut is just a little too sissy for my liking. I'm talking beat pounding fierce steps that scream confidence and you better photograph me as you walk by. I like to compare this attitude to the one when I was 17 and getting into clubs as if I belonged there. If you walk the walk...well, the rest will follow.

Ah slouchy leather pants, how I love thee. Before this look even became a trend, I'm proud to say I was ordering my leather pants in about 3 sizes too big (just to get this look). Now thanks to the likes of Vince, Phillip Lim, Mango, and H&M - you can get this look at any price. I paid Singer22 a visit while visiting my family at home over the weekend, and fell head over heels for these Vince slouchy leather pants, as well as this Iro jacket (and another others you'll see later this week). I know the pants seem to hurt your wallet a bit, but TRUST ME, they're worth it. CPW: Cost Per Wear people.

Been spending a little too much time uptown recently because of the blackout, but I honestly can't complain. It's so beautiful up here by the park - and the shopping isn't too bad either. I feel pretty helpless though and like I should be doing more than just sitting around waiting for Con Ed to get their act together - hopefully by tomorrow night we'll have our power back. I went downtown to my apartment this morning and uy, it was a whole new world down there. Empty streets, nothing is open, pitch black everywhere... kinda scary. So proud of everyone for staying strong though, go us.
