Audrey Hepburn-inspired outfits never get old with us. Just get a load of Sasha Peters, 22, looking very much the updated classic in L.A.’s SIlver Lake neighborhood. Sasha, currently working at Kiki de Montparnasse and studying Shakespeare, channels “Roman Holiday” in head-to-toe vintage from stores in L.A. and New York. The matching hot red nails and lips? Nice touch. Keep reading »
We peeped Paige Cano, 19, on Venice Beach and loved the combo of don’t-give-a-damn grunge paired with pretty hair. Paige is rocking a T-shirt from a Dystopia show with thrift store jeans and pumps “borrowed from a friend.” Keep reading »
We find Angelica Martinez perfect for this Venice Beach setting—a tough chick with a happy flair for color. And she got everything from “either the thrift store or the 99-cent store.” She also laughed and added that the shades were found in a bar. Finders, keepers! Keep reading »
We couldn’t help but notice sleek yet punchy Akiko Kishimoto, 29, behind the counter at an authentically Japanese restaurant in Cusco, Peru. Love that layering, and that punchy tartan pattern on her tights. This Tokyo transplant says the entire ensemble is from vintage stores, bought in Tokyo two years ago. Keep reading »
We think we’ve found the kinder, gentler Jenny Humphrey in Singapore. And just to clarify—we approve. Samantha See (no relation), 21, was spotted on Orchard Road in Singapore in a military-inspired shirt dress from Kuala Lumpur, accidentally yet symmetrically ripped black tights and the coolest rain sandals ever. xoxo, The Frisky Keep reading »
We spied Maria Stanley queuing for coffee at Intellgentsia in L.A.’s Silver Lake hood. Since we kinda want to copy her stripey and effortlessly chic thing, we had to ask this fashion designer where she got her outfit. Maria, 22, got her top at Urban Outfitters, sandals from Marc Jacobs, shades from H&M, and the skirt is from a vintage boutique on Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake. Good news for those of us who want to “borrow” her style—Maria just quit her job to start her own line. Keep reading »
Think “flight attendant” and images of nude stockings, nylon blazers, and straight skirts that border on matronly probably come to mind. We’re obsessed, however, with Asako Itono, a flight attendant for Emirates Airlines, who was caught in her off-duty uniform on the streets of NYC. Girl has got some awesome indie style, mixing rare pieces from Japan with classic brands like Burberry. Something to consider … being a flight attendant could also mean having a rad international wardrobe. [The Cut] Keep reading »
Part of the genius of street style and fashion photo blogs is that the picture is the story. What the person is wearing should provoke your imagination. Still, wouldn’t it be cool if you did know everything about that white-haired chick on Jak & Jil, or one of the many tweed-suited men on The Sartorialist? That’s where this Tumblr blog, Inside The Brains Of Fashion Kids, steps in. Sort of. Selecting snaps from street style sites, ITBOFK imagines the inner monologues of the too-cool-for-school subjects. A girl in a denim vest thinks: “I hate the fact that you’ll look at me and think that my clothes make me who I am. I’m more than a denim jacket with the sleeves cut off so you can see my sexy untouched ivory skin. I’m more than these black leggings that cling to my butt so tightly you can see the last person I had anal-sex with. Oops, did I say that out loud? … ” Warning: this blog is extremely un-P.C. and totally unforgiving. Which is why it’s kinda awesome. [Inside The Brains Of Fashion Kids] Keep reading »
Less is so totally more, especially when we see a luxe version of wardrobe basics worn well. So we snapped a pic of pretty Mariana Tolosa, 20, who was on break nearby her sales job at Épica boutique in Palermo Soho. Her off-white top and jeans are from Épica; her sandals are courtesy of Paruolo; the charm-filled necklace is from a feria (street fair) in Parque Serrano and that cool belt is from Wanama. Curious, we took a look inside Épica and can report that it carries awesome downtown chic designs. Keep reading »
We like the tough and femme vibe Gisselle Rousseau, a Chilean language teacher, has got going on. Gisselle, 26, pairs a cute hot pink tunic from Jirafita In with punky Zibel Morados. (Fun fact: Zibel is an accessory line started by Ivan Zan Modano, a Chilean soccer player). Gisselle’s quilted purse was a gift, but we wish we could buy her killer blue-black blunt bangs.
