Advanced Style

This delightful woman looks like she just stepped off the set of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

This dapper fellow gets my vote for the best dressed man at this year’s Easter Parade.  I have seen him around town a few times, always dressed to the nines in vintage. I’m not quite sure that he is old enough for Advanced Style, but I just had share this incredible look.

I caught up with Valerie and Jean at The Easter Parade and was delighted to hear that they were featured on WABC-TV News this week. Check out the great clip below and if you haven’t already stopped by their blog it’s a must see. More from Valerie and Jean, The Idiosyncratic Fashionistas HERE.

I love going to the Easter Parade every year and seeing all the people dressed up walking down 5th Ave. There are so many wild and wonderful things to see, but I make it  a mission to take inspiration from the costumes, but only photograph those dressed in their everyday clothing. I photographed the woman above two years ago, in a stunning purple floral hat, and was excited to to see her this year in an equally gorgeous red one. I’ll be posting more photos from the parade this week. 

On a side note I was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition today. If you wanna take a listen CLICK HERE.

I was walking to an appointment in my neighborhood when I passed this elegant woman. I quickly turned around, crossed the street and asked if I could take her photograph. She nodded in approval and continued on her way. Although we didn’t exchange any words, I am so glad she stopped to let me take her photograph and look forward to running into her again in the  neighborhood.
