November In the 60's

We spotted Kristina's conservative, yet glamorous look as she was in a rush today. We could not help but to notice her beige collared button- up that she received while thrifting in Maryland and high-waist shorts (NY&Co) giving her a conservative 60's look to flow with the 60 degrees weather occurring in November. Her black studded flats from Steve Madden are the future of fashion and blend perfectly to give this outfit a bit of edge to this classy look. Also, the way her hair is styled and the add on accessories such as her black tights, studded earrings, and ruby red lipstick set everything in place. This is the future, yet vintage business woman must- have.

Virginia Verocity

     We spotted this Virginia native, Alexis walking on the strip, and admired her casual military look.  I loved her rustic nude boots, they are a great alternative to the traditional black color. Combat boots have been a staple fall/winter item for the last two years, and I don't think they're going anywhere. What I liked the most about her outfit was the way she grouped together her shorts, and tights, to add a touch of color she added a pair of Terra cotta colored knee-highs. This is a great way to couple both summer and fall items, while also staying warm. Did you notice the bow detail on her shorts, adorable rings? Aside from her stylish look, Alexis is a freshman, with her eye on the prize during our interview she told us about her shirt designing company Innovative Era. Whatever design you wish to have on a shirt from bleaching to cutting she will do anything you request. If you are looking to have custom shirts made, she is the go-to girl.

That New York Swagger

 Hey Guys, I know it's been a while Raiven and I have been swamped but, we have a few treats for you.Over the past weekend Raiven, I and a two other fellow Saint John's students got the opportunity to be profiled in SwaggerNy's "Campus Crawl" feature. For those of you who do not know SwaggerNy is an up and coming website,that profiles the hottest street style in NYC.  We managed to snap a few behind the scene pics. Check them out, and let us know what you think.

My co-blogger Raiven is repping her city to the fullest with her Chicago Bulls Crew neck.

    I met this stylish young man , named Kadeem the day of the shoot. He is senior,graduating this fall semester for Communication Arts. In the future he hopes to create his own magazine. Check out his pants, did you notice they were football pants?

 Sorry for the side profile guys.

 

      You may recognize Clarence from an earlier post, he was also profiled in the Swagger shoot .

Homemade Halloween Costumes

It has been a while since we've updated, but over the past Halloween weekend our friend Alexa's Pocahontas costume was nicely put together by scratch. Her mother made every piece of this costume and it looks as if it were bought at a store. It is amazing how people can design such professional pieces and not want to get involved in the industry. As for accessories, our friend, Damali Underwood, created her necklace from pieces bought at Michaels craft store. She looks just like the real Pocahontas.

Skater Boy

 

I ran into Joe yesterday and noticed his swagged out look. I thought he was from Cali with this swag of his, but he happens to live in Jersey. His jean jacket, which he thrifted, is to die for. I love how he added the buttons, just like Ayanna (below) did to make it look original, vintage, and just a touch of their own style. I feel like the taupe suede shoes go perfectly with the different shades of blue and the dark pants. The taupe color is actually perfect for any season. Also, his gray and maroon snapback from www.karmaloop.com sets everything in place. We actually shop at a lot of similar places. I'm not sure where he thrifts, but you can get items this good at Buffalo Exchange, Beacon's Closet, and many other places mainly in Brooklyn. Joe also works at Aldo on 5th Ave, so he gets that good 50% discount on their wonderful shoes. Check him out with his skateboard.
