Cool Haircut

on October 16, 2008

This woman was having a chat with her neighbor when we spotted her in Williamsburg the other day. Her muted tones and oversize cardigan are so chic, and we were both in awe of her matching modern, angled haircut. She told us she’s had the same look for years, and if we wanted it for ourselves we could head down the street to Bedford Ave where she gets it done.

These two mix some great accessories, patterns, and shapes. I love her wedge sandals and leggings, and his glasses are to die for. They’ve got such great character, together and individually; I have to show it off with a close-up…

This handmade ensemble is delightfully colorful. The man pictured above told me that he made several other patterned pants out of similar material. It’s great to see so many individual and creative expressions of style in the city.

Million Dollar Idea

Briana and I saw a lot of colorful outfits these past few days. This lady told me that color wakes her up and that she picks out her outfits, in the morning,based on what she hasn’t put on in a while. She was in a hurry, but she let us know that if you have a good idea in this city, you can become a millionaire.
