A stylish mystery cutie that I met on Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg – Dec. 2010. I’m loving her laser-cut fur jacket by Ruffian! Also – the thing that really caught my eye – her palette here is sick. The rust-colored fur perfectly complements her dark indigo denim and her oatmeal/beige top. Nicely done! x

Quick – if Courtney Love had a personal assistant, what do you think she would look like? A little grunge? A little glamour? A whole lotta Nineties inspiration? Maybe she might even look a bit like a younger version of Courtney herself? Well – you be the judge – here’s Courtney’s assistant Elena on the street near Courtney’s house aka the Mercer Hotel. xo

It really really really does (really) – and I mean that so sincerely. I spotted Laksmi in Nolita…and while she has outer beauty as well…and I love her outfit…it really all started with that smile. I mean how could I not shoot her photo?! Look at her! (OK well she doesn’t look quite as happy in the full-length photo hehe…but I wanted to include that so that you could see her entire outfit…but the top photo, look at the top photo!)

I meet beautiful and stylish girls all the time (rough life I know)…some of whom are, shall we say, “personality challenged”…but…the girls that I always want to shoot…and the girls that I always want to talk to and get to know better are the sweethearts…the kind ones…the genuine ones…the ones who have not only beauty on the outside but who radiate it from within as well! “Beauty comes from within” is not a backhanded compliment – it’s a mantra that you should repeat to yourself as you leave your house every morning. It’s a way of living. All the frowny faced, too cool for school, playin’ a role, Grumpy McDumpies can keep on walkin’ when Mr. Newton’s on the beat! xo

On the street yesterday in my ‘hood – Williamsburg, Brooklyn – a grey sweatshirt + a floral print dress + knee socks + white patent flats = a super cute late fall look!
