I met Nancy, a sculptor, in the East Village. Her look is subtle but her layers are rad. When I asked about her silky brown pants, she explained that they are traditional Indian pants that she bought on a trip to India 25 years ago. She just started wearing them again and they are the perfect finishing touch to this look.
Check out her site, www.nancyazara.com. If you’re in New York, check out her “Heart Wall” sculpture installation at 340 Madison Avenue.
I saw this lady chatting with her friend on the corner and immediately noticed her great glasses. She told me that she had them custom made and that they get a lot of attention. I think she looks wonderful in her colorful skirt and scarf, but she let me know that if I make fun of her she would hunt me down.
Part of personal style is having great accessories, and the proof is in the pudding with Christine and Andrew, below.
The hat. The necklace. The lacy shrug over her long black dress. Need I go on? Christine’s jewelry was especially striking, so here’s a close-up for some inspiration when you head out to buy your next piece of bling.
Andrew’s got an unconventional mix of accessories here. His red beret and scarf, studded cuffs, and panda bear necklace are all eye-catching personal touches.
This guy’s style is all his own. His round glasses with neon orange accents and groovy t-shirt definitely give him rad dude appeal. The way he tucks his casual chinos into oversized red gym socks adds some character to the overall look.
On my first day out with Ari, we were lucky enough to meet George Riddle. I love his old-timey style, his beautiful dog, and rose-colored aviators, but the real secret to George’s success is his cool confidence. You can tell that this guy has refined his personal style and is truly comfortable in his own skin.
